GuNs VS. hOsES

Our friend John is a firefighter and every year he and other firefighters do a charity hockey game against the police officers in the area. Hence the name guns vs. hoses. We got to see some pretty good fights during their game, but even better were the fights at the Grizzly game later that night. At the bottom is a picture of a Grizzly pounding an Idaho Steelhead. Take that Idaho! I never thought I'd like hockey but the game we watched was so good. We had the lead going into the third period, then they came out of nowhere and scored a goal. All the players got really aggressive and started checking each other into the walls left and right. It was very entertaining. Then the clock started winding down and a few seconds before the buzzer they scored again, tying the score up 6-6. We went in to overtime, but we stayed tied. So then we had to do a shoot out. Our first guy scored no problem. So did theirs. Then we scored again, so did theirs. Well, ended up beating us 2 to 4. It really stunk. I was pulling for the Grizzly's but I guess it wasn't their night. All in all I had a great time hanging out at the game. I had even more fun taking pictures with my new camera.

YEAH FOR THE NEW CAMERA!! And it is funny, Matt and I went to a few hockey games in Fresno... the first one I was ALL into the action and getting excited when they would fight. Then when I actually thought about what I was cheering about (guyes practically killing eachother) I felt like I was a bad person... I still am not sure if it is ok for me to go and cheer at a Hockey Game... what are your thoughts.. am I nuts...
