First things first . Wow, what a game ! .

Perfect day for a Red Wings fan . Great weather in Detroit . Red Wings victory in game one .

I had the day all planned . I needed to get batteries for the camera . Went to a Meijer near a buddies who i was picking up . Walked in the door and they had some new Wings shirts so i picked a few up . Batteries, check. New shirts i wasnt planning for , check .

Picked up my friend 2 hours before game time . I knew where i was going to park and how to get there . I needed to get down there early enough because where i park you have to walk 1/4 mile or so . I also had never tried to bring a camera into the Joe , so I wanted time to take it back to the car if they said no. I have learned as I have gotten older , having pictures to show people helps them understand your memories better then you can ever explain. The whole picture worth a thousand words thing . I also had to pick up tickets at will call and I figured that would take awhile too . I didnt want to miss one second of action , so I planned accordingly .

Go Red Wings . Game 1

Im very happy to report I will be attending Games 1 and 2 of the Stanley cup finals . My game 1 seats are lower bowl and expensive

($350 each). Game 2 is upper bowl $190 each.

I have never brought a camera to the Joe for a game . I have a nice one i will be bringing with me to snap lots of shots . I just hope they let me in with it . I took it to Atlanta for the All Star game and got a few hundred pics . I still havent sorted thru those . I doubt it will take long to sort through the ones I get from the Finals.

I will post afterward how things went. What I take away from the game and how I see things.
