On Saturday night I went to a hockey game! Hockey is a pretty big sport here and Riga's team, Dinamo, is part of the KHL. It was their last game of the season... after attending, I see why they aren't headed to the finals. (hehehe)

The arena is actually really close to my apartment, maybe a 20 minute walk. But since it was snow-raining, my neighbors and I taxied. haha! There were seven of us total at the game and the tickets were pretty cheap. We were in the 10th row right behind a goal.
Several of the others had gone to the game Thursday night or last weekend, and they didn't have super things to say about the team.
Dinamo scored in the first period. Then the goalie let three in within the first half of the second period. Three. All right between the legs.
Dinamo did manage to score again in the third period and then in an attempt to even it up, they pulled the goalie for the last few minutes. This seems to be something they do often. And it seems to backfire on them frequently. Like it did Saturday night, when the other team got a breakaway and easy tucked it into an empty net.
2-4. Good try, Dinamo!
It may not have been the most intense game of hockey I've seen, but it was a fun night! Maybe next season....
