Free Pucks


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We aren't sure why but a salesperson from the Predators was very keen to talk to Mari. She texted her several times, then came to visit us during the second intermission and gave us two pucks signed by Predators defensemen Nicolas Hague. We know its because they want to sell seat packages, but why us? We didn't see others out giving the hard sell and free pucks. No complaints. She was nice and the pucks are cool. That's them at the top with my other pucks.

My favorite Kraken, Eeli Tolvanen was out tonight, either injured or sick I didn't see which. But I did get to see Matty Beniers who is a close second. Predators ended up winning 3-1. 

Predators vs Kraken


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But who to root for? 

Still Towering


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That iconic Bridgestone Arena radio tower. Of course us old schoolers still remember when it was the GEC (Gaylord Entertainment Center.)

Walking to the arena. Downtown has changed so much in the years since we've been here. The Schermerhorn is a constant though.

It's been a while since I dusted off the ol' Predators jersey, but Mari and I are headed downtown to watch them play the Kraken thanks to a gift from Casie and John.

Bird Cam: Blue Dots


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish this was a little bit clearer, I think the morning sun washed it out, but I really liked this shot of a blue jay and it's coloring. From a distance they look solid blue with a white stripe, but it's actually lots of blue dots - or should I say squares - that blend together.
