The whole family joined "The Morley" on Saturday afternoon to nearly fill a row of seats at Scotiabank Place, where we watched the Sens take on the Rangers. Our boys are on the skids at the moment (we're not worried), so it wasn't pretty--but Sam had a ball anyways. Here's the top five.
(1) Sam was seated right beside the loudest and most enthusiastic "Go Sens go!" guy in the place. So team spirit was pretty high in our section despite the 5-2 loss. Daddy loves the Sens.
(2) Those two goals were celebrated in high style, so Sam got to jump up and throw the big high fives and pull out the woo-hoo's. Well, he did that the second time. The first time, he may have cowered a little, a tiny bit afraid that the honkin' loud train
whistle was an actual "clear the tracks" warning...
(3) We had great seats seven rows up at the face-off circle, which meant that we saw a good deal of face-smunching hits on the board right in front of us. Lots of opportunity to join in the "ohhaff!" sound the crowd makes in appreciation of a glass-jarring hit. Very fun.
(4) There were treats. Sam had french fries with ketchup for lunch and an ice cream drumstick for dessert. Hence the mucky face. They do it up right at the 'Bank.
(5) Spartacat is wicked cool. Sam crawled down to the aisle while he was in our section and the two of them became fast friends, with Sparty even sprawling backwards, cat-style, to lay across Sam's lap so the surrounding people could see the play. We went straight to the Senszone on 2nd intermission to get him his own Spartacat plush toy. He sleeps with it now.

We go again on March 1st. Between now and then, we're hoping for a whole lot of bell-ringing wins for the Sennies.
