I know, I know, the Coyotes season is pretty much over since they didn't make it into the play-offs this year. Thanks to the San Jose Sharks making that a certainty last night. But, BT finally got these pictures to me.
It was almost 4 weeks ago, Tuesday when he was able to get us 4 tickets (Thanks, Mike!!) to the Coyotes v. Ducks game. And 4 seems to be the number because we were in the 4th row!!
A-Maz-Ing! I couldn't believe how close they were to us. We could even see the Great One, Wayne Gretzky himself right across the ice from us. The action was fast, loud and exciting. Spencer and Trenton came with us and they were instant fans. The players crashing against the plexiglass windows made us jump and laugh each time.
The game was awesome. The kids enjoyed the crowd chants and songs. Especially when players were put in the penalty box. "Bad Boys! Bad Boys! Whatcha gonna do?" Then the Coyote Cheerleaders performed after the 2nd period to Janet Jackson's Feedback. Too bad we had to leave our seats 5 minutes into the 3rd period, with the Ducks leading 2 to 1. After all, it was a school night and already way past 9 o'clock. The drive back would take at least a half hour, too.
But we even ran into some action in the hallway of the Jobing.com Arena as we were walking to the exits. We saw the SRP Water drop guy. He's the Salt River Project mascot named "Dewey", dressed in blue tights and shaped like a big blue water droplet. Trenton got to give Dewey a High Five.
Then, one guy walking by stopped us and handed me a box. "Here you go. This is for him." and he pointed at my 4 year old.
"What is it?" I asked.
"It's a bobble head." and he walked away after I thanked him.
It was the bobble head of the Coyotes Mascot Howler. Wow! Trenton was cleaning up.
Then, we heard the crowd go crazy! The Coyotes just scored another goal and tied it up! We stopped in front of one of the TV screens to watch the replay.
Spencer couldn't stop talking about how much fun she had! She was disappointed when I told her that it was almost the end of the season. She wanted to go to another game.
By the time we got home, the game finally ended. The Coyotes won in overtime in a shoot-out, 3 to 2!
