Pretty funny how many of those seat cushions went flying when Brouwer scored with 12 seconds left.
Reminded me of that Redskins playoff game back in the early 1990s with the shower of yellow seat cushions every time the Skins did something good.
Only real negative about the experience in my opinion was the hideous crowding in the concourses. I felt like I had to fight my way through to the men's room. It seems obvious when you think about it later, but in advance I don't think it really occurs to anyone how the traffic flow for a hockey game is fundamentally different from baseball because during a baseball game, people are always coming and going due to the slower pace, whereas for hockey everyone streams out onto the concourse at the same time during intermission.
Scene on the third-base side with around 12 or 13 minutes to go in the first intermission as I was trying to fight my way across from Section 114 to the men's room. I made it back to my seat with about two minutes left in intermission. Glad I didn't try to get any food during the game.
