The Colorado Avalanche vs. Detroit Red Wings was an exciting game. Hockey is fast paced so the quarters go by quickly and keeps you on the edge of your seat. During the game, I tried to get a picture of the Avalanche making a goal, but I wasn’t successful. The Detroit Red Wings made the first goal of the night and Av fans were worried, but the Avalanche tied the score quickly. After the second goal was accomplished by the Avalanche, the fans went crazy cheering and hopeful that we would win the game. The ending score was 3-1.
There were many Detroit Red Wings fans attending the game at the Pepsi Center. My husband and I were surrounded by as many Red Wings fans as there were Avalanche fans. Despite the rivalry between the Avs and Red Wings, the fans were cordial to each other and my husband was talking to the Red Wings fans like they were old pals. One of the Red Wing players shoved our Avalanche goalie causing the game to stop. We weren’t sure if the goalie was going to be able to play, but he was able to continue and must have just had the wind knocked out of him. Avalanche fans were expecting a fight to breakout among the players, but the only reaction was the Red Wings player reprimanded to the penalty box.
Event Chaser snagged us tickets in the third tier, which is in the back of the arena. Despite being far from rinkside, we could see all the hockey action. There isn’t a bad seat in the Pepsi Center when attending a sporting event. Concerts are a different story. If you attend a concert at the Pepsi Center, you want to be on or near the floor and not sitting behind the stage. It is hard to hear the lead singer and the music drowns them out. During a sporing event, it’s easy to follow the hockey puck or basketball even in the nose bleed seats.
It was another exciting night with Razor Gator providing FREE tickets for my husband and I to watch the Colorado Avalanche in action!!
