- She finished her popcorn before the game started
- The visiting team, the Hamilton Bulldogs, got their first penalty in 7 seconds, their second in other 10, and we scored right away - sound the foghorn!
- We scored again just after three minutes were up
- Amid a ton of penalties on both teams, Hamilton took the lead 3-2 before the first period was done
- They had a ridiculous game featuring kids and leaf blowers at the first intermission
- We got a second popcorn at the first intermission, and she would have finished it in no time if she didn't deliberately save it for the end of the second period
- During the third period she was featured on the big video screen
- With three minutes to go Hamilton got a penalty and we scored to tie it, much to Annika's delight - she gets into these things quite emotionally
- No one scored in overtime, so it went to a shootout
- Hamilton scored one of the flukiest shootout goals I've ever seen, on a puck that was blocked high into the air and then bounced screwy off the ice behind the goalie and went in
- We scored to tie the shootout on a controversial goal that might have been kicked in (if we missed the game was over)
- On the last pair of shootout attempts, they missed, we scored, and the celebration began
- The opposing coach stormed onto the ice, yelled at the referee, and even picked up a puck like he was going to throw it. The opposing goalie berated the ref from the bench.
- After a long and aborted wait for an elevator, we found a bathroom that we could both go in, since Annika had consumed a lot of water during the game.
- She fell asleep in the van on the way home
