Final Countdown: 6/8
I’m not a big hockey guy and it seems even weirder to attend games when it is 80 degrees outside but I went to a pair during my Phoenix sentence. Specifically I found myself at a Phoenix Coyotes vs. Edmonton Oilers game because it was Wayne Gretzky Bobblehead Night.
Free bobbleheads, especially of the Great One, are enough to lure me anywhere so I took in the contest. For the most it was a typical game, please keep in mind that the subtleties of hockey are beyond me, but the Oilers sent the game into OT by scoring a goal from a face off with 2.2 seconds left in regulation. Eventually Edmonton pulled out a victory in the shootout.
Truthfully my jaw dropped when Edmonton scored that quickly. It just didn’t seem possible to win a face off and get the shot, an accurate one too, off in that time but they did and many replays proved it.
