A Nice Night

Gary and I just got home from a very nice evening with Dan and his wife Ayoung. We met them at The Rusty Bucket on Lane Ave and had a lovely dinner.

We then made our way down to the Value City Arena at The Jerome Schottenstein Center to watch the Notre Dame - OSU hockey game. We had tickets in the corner (section 127) and had a pretty good view of the game. Because of parking, we arrived to a tied score of 1 all in the 1st period. The Irish looked a little flat until the 3rd period. They were down 3-2 when an OSU player committed a major penalty (he basically sucker punched an Irish player) and was sent to the box for a 5 minute "time out." With 1 second left in the game, Erik Condra scored to tie the score. Of course, we went to overtime with a 'Power Play" and about 49 seconds into the overtime period, Carl Ridderwall scored the winning goal. Needless to say, it was very exciting!

It was a great evening and hopefully we'll get to repeat it soon.

Later...
