Second Blues game - LA bound

Now this was much better.  Pam and I spent the day in LA doing all the touristy stuff before heading over to the Staples Center - where we met up with a few of the guys from our fantasy hockey team (all Kings fans) together with "spectr17".  After photos, Spec and I left them to it and we headed in to watch the Blues warm up - before making our way down to the ice we met a nice chap decked out in Blues gear...with a yellow wig.  LOL.

Stood right by the tunnel this time and held my hand down and got "hand tapped" by most of the team  - it made my night to be "tapped" twice by Cam!  Once on his way to the ice and once on his way back.  Hand taps included Oshie, Perron, Chris Mason, Alex Steen, Brad Winchester, Patrik Berglund et al.  The funny thing was that there were quite a number of Blues fans down by the tunnel...and Davis Payne got a nice cheer and clap.  He stood just where the Blues bench was...and the fans opposite me started up a chant.  The chant was "House of Payne" - lol we all joined in.  Davis Payne turned, smiled and then did that embarrassed cleaning of glasses thing.

Obviously took lots of pics before going up to the 334 section where we were sitting - great view from up there...you could really see the play develop.  I was out of my seat at Perron's goal....and damn near shouted myself hoarse at Oshie's superbly taken goal.  Seems like the creativity is starting to come back here.  The fantasy hockey team took the piss of course - but they were really a fun lot. 

I was just so damn happy to see a Blues win - a fantastic day capped with a fantastic night.  Anyway - pics are  here:

I love this one though:

If the Blues win some home games, I have a feeling those House of Payne chants will be a common occurence

Glad you got to see a win!

LOL

So do I!

And the win was fantastic – especially as I was being “teased” about the Blues throwing it in the 3rd again!

Enjoy the rest of the warmth

and all the touristy stuff in CA. You’ll not be lacking in things to do in that department.

Great stuff.

Glad they let you see the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

Enjoy the rest of your time on the left coast and we’ll see you here in STL soon, okay?

Some pics from the King's game

The heckle-ee

Doc & friends before game

Blues entering the rink for warm ups. The usher (dickhead in red jacket) in the runway told all the Blues fans not to touch the players. WTF? This is what fans go to the game for. Naturally the players high fived everyone on the way out.

Dang, lot of Blues fans there.

Why didn’t you just jump the dickweed and stuff him into a locker?

BTW, Doc, do you mind if I use a snapshot or two on The Hockey Writers? I have exactly jack and squat when it comes to decent photos. :(
