Wooo...wooo!

Whatta game! Game one of the Hurricanes' 2006 Second Round against the Devils may go down as one of their best playoff victories ever. For all the talk about the Devils being the hottest team in the NHL coming into this second round, we gave them the spank down! I met two teachers I used to work with, Jenn and Robin, and we had the best of times!! It was especially sweet chasing Brodeur from the net!

It was the perfect end to a busy, busy day. We had our yard sale in the morning. We made a whole $10.50!!! It was so funny, too, because the things we sold were the things we thought we'd just give to Goodwill. Stuffed animals and my old pants. Heehee! Oh well, we made a little money.

Then I raced over to Jenn's house for her daughter Ashley's 1st birthday party. With gametime at 2 PM, the party was from 11-2. Plus, she lives about a half hour further from the RBC Center. Poor Lucy was ill, so it was just I, the lone Shearer representative.

From there, Robin and I raced to the RBC, but still had time to down a cold one or two. We parked in the fairgrounds lot, quite reminescent of the 02 Cup Run. This picture shows the crowds walking to the RBC.

In the game, it was deafening! With the four goals, Marty started to get rattled. When Justin Williams was cross-checked onto him, he came up swinging and earned a penalty. With our 5 power play goals, we stuck the knife in a little further and began to twist. 6-0 was the final score.

Highlights from the game:

-in the 3rd period, the entire arena did the 'Wave.' I never saw that at a hockey game before
-when Marty was finally pulled, a friend thinks he saw him mouth, "I'm getting out of here."
-the RBC Center was LOUD!!!! At times we were louder than the music being played
-I loved the repeated horn blasts.

Let's continue to rattle Brodeur and set-up shop inside the crease.
