Avalanche take game one. Been a long time.

Never been into the NHL. Denver is my second hometown city having lived there on and off for awhile and worked there. I remember working a call center job for the State for shit pay when people told me the year before watching the parade when the Avalanche won the cup and had a break from the mundane 8-5, Monday through Friday mindless, dumb routine. and watching it from their windows.
Yes I am old. I will never watch a NHL game but highlights sure. That level of skill for people that make a career playing it and this game, wow. A friend from there told me if you were there in person you would like it.
Maybe he is right, though it costs the same as NFL tickets. Just that was fucking amazing. Hope they get it this year. Been a really long time like with the Broncos when they finally did. And really places that never have a Winter or ice shouldn't always be in the championship. Just sayin. I feel bad for the Canadians.

And a touchdown in game two. T.B. will destroy them in game three at home. How it works in all of the major 4 sports in America. Then hope for a game four win. Playoffs. But holy shit how fast the Avs are this year. They just go.
C'mon Denver give me a reason to go back there. Doing well so far. Is why I hate the sports media. When Golden State lost game two at home it was all Celtics! They will go on to win the championship! With the talking heads on t.v. and then the narrative always changes. See through the bullshit over time.

God every major sports playoff is the same. If the Home team wins the first two at home these lose the third on the road. Usually by a lot. Like soccer or football, whatever people call it in the world that is impossible to figure matches that matter or how the playoffs work and really don't care to the MLB or the NBA is almost always the same unless it is the first round. And yes I know this year G.S. lost game two at home but who didn't think they would win game 3 despite every ref against them refusing to call any foul. But they had their parade yesterday in San Francisco and good for them. This next NHL game, don't know. Avs, like the Warriors will try a lot harder in this one or any major sports franchise. NFL is so much easier and the NCAA tourney and one and done. Lot more exciting.
NHL. I could go to one but highlights are it for the t.v. It is like a expensive massive drunken party. That would be fun to me. Not 350 dollars worth for a ticket fun, but please Avs win game 4. Will tune into the highlights when the game is done with.
Shit, is it 50/50 if one can fly anywhere anymore or if it is cancelled to go most places on vacation? God it is getting ridiculous. Please get that parade in Denver Avs.

21 years. 2-1 lol. To be in Denver last night would of been amazing. Congrats. Now after what is going to be an amazing Summer when the NFL starts up in the Fall may the Broncos make a run for a championship.
Denver is just such a amazing sports city and my second home city. Didn't think they would do it in Tampa but holy shit they were so aggressive and wanted it and won it. Awesome.

Glad Vegas has the Golden Knights that are good. And the Oakland Raiders. Now get the A's. Give them the stadium they deserve! NBA, they give them the All Star game but won't give them a team, because people gamble there. God, still on a high from that game. Is so amusing when one thinks their team is going to lose it and I don't bet against teams I like.
Ordered a Ave's cap today and some will think I am a bandwagon fan. Whatever. There is a lot connected to me and that city and people and family and pubs so fuck them. I felt that it would be a shame, what if thing, if I wore it before.
It just reminds me of people that wear or put on stickers on their trucks, god, truck people, of whoever wins the championship I am a champion! A sports fan! Bullshit.
I watch a lot of sports talking heads and it is not the same thing. The Braves have a swagger and they suck and lost Freeman to a team with an unlimited budget. They carry that swagger but they suck. Watched them in person. They suck.
Please A's go to Vegas. It is so easy to me to go see games from where my home base is, not a pun, in Utah. Jazz fan for life but would be so great to go see games there and all the fun of my love and gambling, entertainment and music and sports, and just don't shoot me in front of the the 4 Queens where I am booked. I shouldn't laugh but it does. It is like ghetto every block from there. Rails to just buy some beer to take back to ones hotel room that you have to ask a cashier to open up.
That was amusing. Why? Because people just take it and walk out. Hey, that is great! I will never come here late at night, like midnight.
Enjoy your fourth people. Plaza and the fireworks should be amazing. Plus what they are going to show above for the fourth. Halloween was very creative and respect whoever came up with all that and made it like it was. Why I am going back. Can't brag about King Henry in the sportsbook and Yankees on the fourth, please win. Some Blackjack but it is music and dancing and fun to me.
I don't start shit and I, well on the 4th I will be up by 2 A.M. when the shooting happened yet once again, police are good for tourists, I don't feel fear about it and with the bad press they are going to have it handled. Not lockdown. Like Mexico they love the tourist income and want people to feel safe. Not a complicated thing. Never lost on the Yankees or Redsox. Blackjack is just for fun and I could learn to count cards but no.
I look forward to the Knights and the Aves next year. quality teams. But like anywhere I go, I always root for my hometown teams. If we had 3 others in SLC, would be for them but Sunday is the Sabbith and is not financially feesable.

Just strange to check in on them year to year. They suck, they suck, they suck, and then finally! Watching the Broncos the since Peyton retired has been hell. Tough division but please just some hope and a push in the playoffs. Will be so great not to watch endless boring Q.B.'s.
Enjoy the parade.
