Just got home right now from downtown. I went to Russia/Slovakia game and it was the best atmosphere of any hockey I've ever been too. It didn't even feel like I was sitting in GM Place or Vancouver plus the place was packed with the hottest women. I got stuck sitting beside a large group from the Netherlands who didn't know much about hockey but knew about Ovie. Super nice people and it turned out that they work at the heineken house in Richmond and said they would hook me up if I ever come down. They also gave me a free heineken jacket and some lollipops, lol.
Anyways, we went to Barnone after because we know the bouncers. It was packed to the max, even VIP was packed but none bigger than Ryan Kesler and Patrick Kane. I've seen Kesler before clubbing and he's the biggest dick so he walks in with his cap over his eyes like a movie star, a few mins been in VIP he decides to take his hat off to see if anyone is looking at him and obviously no one gives a shit. A few more mins pass and he's standing with some chick and some guy wearing a team Canada shirt in his 40's walks up to him with his hand out and Kesler looks at him and turns his back. He did that to a couple of people before leaving the club but not before bumping in to a few people and spilling their drinks. Dude seriously needs to get his ego in check.
Patrick Kane on the other hand was cool. I can't believe how small this guy is and I'm even more shocked he plays hockey. He has no muscles and I think he's barely 5'10. He was walking around the VIP area by himself and drunk as fuck so he comes and stands beside us. I look over and I'm like no way, it's 20 cent. He laughed and we told him Canada was going to kick their ass on Sat, he mumbled something under his breath and smiled.
Anyways it was a great night and a great atmosphere at the game and out on the streets. God, I just wish we could have parties like this all year around.
Here's some pic's from the game;
