We jumped, we yelled, we sang, we drank, we ate and we lost, but we had a blast.  Yes, I splurged and bought tickets to the Rangers/Flyers game on Sunday.  Holidays can be tough when you are far from your family, so I’ve found that distractions are necessary.  What better distraction than playoff hockey?

Madison Square Garden was amazing.  Playoff hockey is amazing.  Losing was not so amazing.  I’ll be watching the next few games from my couch because the price tag is also not so amazing, but it was totally worth it.

I’ve been without an NHL hockey team since the MN North Stars left and went to Texas when I was 5.  I never really got on board with the Wild.  My husband is a huge LA Kings fan since that’s where he grew up.  When we moved here, I decided to give the Rangers a try and I love everything about them.  Getting to finally see them at the Garden was amazing (yes, I’ve used that word 1 million times in this post.)

And next time, someone needs to tell me to go home after the game and not participate in shots of fireball, K?  Go RANGERS Go!!!!!!!!!
