Zamboni ballet

First game I've gone to for the season and I'm caught completely unawares of the new rules! Well, I knew there were some, but it didn't seem to make the game much different. The Oilers still know how to frustrate the crowd with their reluctance to pull the trigger. Mostly, it was a pretty boring game. None of the cheek clenching excitment I'm used to going to games. That's the whole point of going! That and watching the crowd. I never understand the fans that get so red-faced angry at their team that they just walk out and pout. I also like the smooch cam. Tonight, the highlight was a man who turned his face away just as his wife was about to land a peck. Boy, somebody's not getting any the rest of this century.
