Ice Hockey Game - Islanders vs Hurricanes


Tuesday we arrived in North Carolina and went to an exhilarating ice hockey game. We had great seats up at the boards and it was the Carolina Hurricanes vs the NY Islanders. At the end of the last period it was 3-3 from a lucky last minute goal from the Islanders. The game went into overtime and still nobody scored. Finally made it into shootout and North Carolina got two goals – Nash and Skinner scored goals to win. The Island didn’t score any goals in the penalty shoot out.  During the breaks for TV, a series of games were played like Buffalo wings eating contest and slap shot challenge. They even had a bowling game on the ice, where you would sit on a pad and they would sling shot you down the ice at large bowling pins. If you knocked over all the pins, you got a prize.

At the end of the day, it was one of the best days I’ve ever had.

To make it even better Buffalo beat Pittsburgh in ice hockey last night.
