Opening weekend thoughts, comments, and observations.

Trying to keep up with a "blog" spot is very difficult for me. I thought I would always have words to write, but that is just not true. With a 7 month old everything has been thrown for a loop. Oh well such is life.

I attended the games this weekend. Friday night was an electric night! The atmosphere around the arena was just on the edge all night. Everyone was into the game. I kind of wish it would never end. I took a friend who never had been to a hockey game, and now guess what he is hooked! He wanted to go the next night, but he had his kids. The only problem I saw was the lack of the air horn. I talked the whole ride down about how exciting it is when the Cyclones score a goal. He asked where the F*ck is the horn? I dunno is all I could reply. The attendance was actually more than I expected. I was thinking around 3500, but 4300 is great for a non hockey town. Someone who works for the Albany claiming they were a hockey town had 1000 people less then Cincinnati!!

A lot of people are talking about the beating Martin took. Yes it was horrendous, and he now is out for unknown time, but the Cyclones able to beat the runner ups was awesome! Hopefully the fight will fuel a rivalry between the teams that will get both cities riled up behind their teams.

It is just great to see Cyclone hockey again! I am so glad, but feel like I need pinched! It was like a family reunion! I can't wait till the next game. LETS GO CYCLONES!

Hey, I have a quick question for you: I just bought 6 tickets to the 1/10 home game through Ticketmaster for my husband's birthday. I'm not sure of the seating chart, do you happen to know, I think these are glass seats: sec 136 row A seats 1-6. If so, that's sweet! We're huge hockey fans, he's from Buffalo, so of course he's a Sabres fan. We all are, and are looking forward to some Cyclones hockey. Thanks for any info!
