A night with the B's

This past weekend I saw the Bruins for the first time (live that is) play the Columbus Blue Jackets. I went with my Grandfather, Dad, Uncle, and Brother ... it was a family/guys night out. My Grandfather, Dad, and Brother drove out from (the real) western mass, picked me up, and drove in to Waltham where my uncle lives. From there we drove into Boston where we caught dinner at the Harp, an Irish pub near the Fleet center. After dinner and a few Guinni we walked across the street to the Fleet center. Our seats were in the balcony, but it wasn't bad because we were only a few seats from the edge and had a great view of the game. The game was great. Crisp passing, fierce hits, amazing goals. In the end it was a 7-2 win with all the excitement you could expect from a live hockey game. The only other live hockey games I've seen were a Springfield Falcons game and several UMass games, so this was quite a treat. This is something I am definitely going to have to do again soon.
