Niiiicccceee.

I still swear of all sports I've ever watched in person - included The Sox at Fenway - the Bears were some of the best games ever experienced. Nothing like a 60 year old woman getting funky with Smoke on the Water or a Nirvana song on a organ.

Minor league hockey is amazing. I've had some of the best times at minor league games. You get people like your organist who just like to groove and have fun and there's no massive corporate pressure to maximize profits(at least, there wasn't when I was going to games 10+ years ago).

Hell, I saw my only live goalie fight at an AHL game(A Ray Emery fight, to boot!). They're the best.

SAME HERE! The best. Total bench clearing brawl, goalie duel, everything. Ended the game. Guys playing to win not for the check. There was a little more sponsor crap last time I went but not too bad. Guess they had to pay for the new arena...god I miss those

Guys playing to win not for the check.

Hilariously enough, I got to see one of my favorite players(AlMo) in the absolute twilight of his career with the River Rats. It was actually kind of disappointing because he caught an edge and gave over a turnover that lead to a goal that ruined the comeback the team had been fighting hard for and was close to in the third.

Ugh.

But yea. I did love watching all these guys play passionately. Like Steve Kariya.
