Go! Habs! Go!

One of the best ways I started off 2014 was to attend a hockey game. This wasn’t just any hockey game but seeing my favorite two teams play each other – the Montreal Canadians vs. the Dallas Stars. Who did I root for? My all around favorite of course, the Habs!

Granted, I have come to love the Dallas Stars but when the Habs come to town, I’m 100% Habs! This is a pretty special game as it only happens once every other year. The two teams typically rotate locations to play once a season.

I attended the game with one of my friends who lives in the area that I actually grew up with. Little did I know when I showed up at his house that he was going to cheer for the Stars. I should’ve known, this was going to get interesting.

Hockey games just get getter with good fights. It may be my favorite part. This game, had two plus a penalty shot. The game was aggressive, high scoring and intense. Habs vs. Stars 01/02/2014

In the video you can hear a guy yelling “Let’s go Stars”. This guy had to be the most annoying fan. I say this not because he was cheering for the Stars but because he couldn’t take it both ways. Directly behind us, we had a group from Ottawa cheering for the Habs (yes, I was very happy I was surrounded by Habs fans). Said Stars fan started giving Habs fan a hard time, Habs fans came back twice as hard in a joking, playful manner and he just got serious and pissed. What fun is that?!

As I was saying… look at these awesome fans! I see red!

Great company and love some Habs! Love it even more when they come and win! Can’t wait until the next hockey game!! What a great game!

Who Wouldn’t Want To…

…drive a Zamboni? Everytime I attend a hockey game, the thought crosses my mind. Followed by, how can I get one on?! Even though it still didn’t happen at the game I attended this past weekend, it was still a real good time! (Someday, Someday!)

Generally, I am a Montreal Canadien’s fan however considering the Stars are now my “home” team – I root for them unless they’re playing the Habs. Then there’s no competition. My employer was nice enough to provide us with free tickets for this past Sunday’s game so I headed out to the AAC to catch a great game with even better company.

The Stars played the Oilers. Yes, I was asked if I was going to cheer for the Oilers considering they are from Canada. I did not. I did prove that I know the Canadian National Anthem. The Stars lost the game in a shootout but it didn’t stop us from cheering them on! Great game, Canadian beer, fantastic company, the only things missing were a fight and a win. Next time boys, next time!

Until next time, seriously… how can I check one off the bucket list and get on one of these zamboni’s?

Color Run 2013 – Dallas

8 Replies

This past weekend my friend Amy and I participated in the Color Run. This was new for both of us but a whole lot of fun. Unfortunately, I don’t have that many pictures since we didn’t want to bring our phones thru but we still got a few pictures of each other before we left the grounds.

The color is actually corn starch and I think it comes off clothes much easier than skin. It drove me crazy having it on my face throughout the race so I kept wiping it off. Then, it felt like I was in the shower for an hour after the race (it gets everywhere).

Throughout the race, you run thru certain zones where volunteers are set up to throw some of the color on you (some were better than others). After the race, more volunteers are around to blow (with a leaf blower) the color off.

The race was a lot of fun! Many happy, happy people!

Have you ever participated in a Color Run?
