Predators Game

Yesterday afternoon (after 2 soccer games and a baseball game), we went to a Nashville Predators game.  We got free preseason tickets again this year and chose to do a 3pm Saturday game (which was much better than rushing to get to the game after school and work).  We totally wiped out by the end of the day though!

The free tickets were general admission for anywhere in the 3rd level that wasn't a season ticket holder seat.  We found 4 seats together on a front row close to a corner.  It worked out great though because we all had more room then and the boys had no one blocking their view.

When packing up for the day yesterday morning, the only thing I forgot was the boys' sweatshirts (luckily I had brought pants at least!).  Personally I thought it felt awesome in there (I've been so hot lately).  There was very little complaining about being cold though so it was okay.

The boys always love to see the players skate out onto the ice through the Predator head before the game starts!

The Predators started off with an early goal and led the entire game until the Panthers finally put one in near the end of the third period.  Carter was obsessed with the Predator's goalie because his first name was also Carter.

The boys did amazing during the game.  They watched intently and didn't start getting antsy until the third period.  The game ended in in a 1-1 tie so it went into overtime (which was luckily a lot shorter than playoff overtime which is usually the only time a actually watch hockey on TV).  After a 5 minute overtime there was a shoot out.  The shoot out is best of three and the Predators made their first two and the Panthers missed their first two.  Carter was so excited when "Carter Goalie" made the blocks!

I'm so glad we were able to make it to the game.  The boys really enjoyed it and Rylan kept saying, "I love hockey games!"

Random picture ... I can actually see in this one how much Carter looks like Brian!
