I know, I know...I went to a Carolina Hurricanes game already but that hardly counted. When you only see the final few rounds of a OT shootout it shouldn't go toward my goal, but I was not sure if I was going to get back to Raleigh. Well I had my opportunity to make up for the "non-game" by hitting up a Canes vs. Detroit Redwings game. I usually don't have a lot at stake as a Kings fan when I see these games but I hate the Wings. There is nothing better than seeing them lose, well except when the Ducks drop one. Now to the game. First off, I had no clue there are that many Detroit fans in NC. I would say it was about 70% for the away team, but because everyone was wearing red it was hard to tell who was chearing for who until the "Let's go Wings!" chant started. But the Canes had there revenge, Cam Ward was a wall, Jeff Skinner and Derek Joslin scored in the second period and Erik Cole added a goal in the third for the Hurricanes, who beat the Red Wings for the first time since 2006. It felt good to actually cheer on the home team as they took home a 3-0 W. Nothing really exciting tonight, I guess I was a bit annoyed by the people I met at the game. There were about 10 Duke lab rats around me that were not paying attention at all to what was happening on the ice. How to people spend that much money to just talk about work???
