2.20.11 It was Girl Scout night at the Seattle Thunderbirds Hockey game at Showare Center. Only a few of Kylie's friends in her troop were able to attend tonight's game. They got to walk out onto the ice for the National Anthem...pretty cool. During the 1st intermission, there was a bunch of mascots from local teams that came and played broomstick ball hockey - very funny to see them slipping and sliding all over the place! Blitz, Harry, Moose and Cool Bird were the best! They threw out boxes of girl scout cookies too but none came our way...that's okay, we have plenty. It was a great game! They played the Chilliwak Bruins (from Canada) and we came away with the victory! There were some fights of course, but there was a fight with 1:41 left in the 2nd period that actually involved all 5 guys from each team, as the goalies stood watching. Helmets, gloves and sticks were flying! It took them probably 15 min to figure everything out. 4 of our players were sent off the ice while 3 of theirs were. Since there was so little time left in the period, they all came out at the start of the 3rd period. It was so exciting! We tied the game with 1:48 or so left in the 3rd period and was still tied at the end of the 5 min overtime period. It actually went to a shootout with the best of 3. They shot and made a goal, we shot and made a goal, they missed their 2nd attempt, we made ours, they shot 1 more time and our goalie shut it out! Woohoo! Final score, 4-3! Very exciting!
