A couple of other notes from last nights game: Nobody here cares (or really knows anything) about hockey. We asked the cab driver (the one driving us to the game) about the status of the Coyotes. He said, “Doesn’t a hockey player own that team?” We asked if he was referring to Wayne Gretzky. He had never heard of that name before. Welcome to hockey in the dessert.

We saw one group of 5-6 people sporting Jets jerseys. We would have been as well, except our luggage didn’t arrive.

Without question, way more Flames fans and jerseys and Coyotes’….maybe 85 % Flames, 14% Coyotes and 1% Jets.

I will try to take some pictures at tomorrow’s game vs the Sens. I trust there will again be more Sens fans than Coyotes fans especially with an NBA game that night.
