    LGC! Going to this one, our first game of the season. Moving to a different section, too.

      Noice, what section?

      I’m going to the Leafs game in November. Section 115 (behind the net the Caps defend twice).

          I have an ongoing internal debate over whether I’d prefer sitting higher up if it means being at center ice.

          Looked like a fun game to watch in person!

            It mostly was. We ended up leaving after the second period because of some commitments my wife had today, which the late start (and apparently slow pace) didn’t help.

            And the audio was bugging us - they always seem to struggle with that at the beginning of the season. I go to heavy metal concerts, so it’s not just that it was loud - some of the mic gain is just up way too much or something. In particular, the voice of the woman that does the in-game promotions really pops out the speakers, and it’s irritating - not that her voice is irritating (I assume, I haven’t talked to her in person), but something about the amplification really makes it hurt. But she’s not the only one - there was even a video they were playing that was being overdriven. I’m not sure why their audio people don’t address that immediately.

    Well that was stressful, really I’m just relieved we didn’t blow it. It seemed like we were steamrolling them until Thompson let in that weak goal on the pk.

      There was a Flyers fan in our section that, about halfway through the second, stood up and cheered an inconsequential stop by their goaltender. I don’t think it was even a shot, really - it just slid in his direction from the blue line during a line change our something like that. We laughed and applauded the Flyers fan. But I think the players heard him. And woke up.

      I didn’t think that was a weak goal-it looked like a pretty wicked shot to me. But the Caps just looked like they ran out of energy.
