Seattle Torrent game

Went to our first Seattle Torrent game on Sunday. Good to see a pretty packed arena!

I am starting to develop a complex about attending hockey games. We’ve been to two games now: a Kraken game last year, and this Torrent game. The Kraken were shut out. The Torrent didn’t score until under two minutes left in the game, and we pulled our goalie to have an extra player on offense.

We’re casual fans, but sat in front of three guys who were clearly very into hockey and quite avid fans.

They were commenting to each other throughout the game about the action on the ice. It was refreshing to see men in particular treat the Torrent no differently than the likely treat the Kraken.

“Yeah, that’s her weakness — she’s great at passing the puck, but is hesitant to take shots.” “Hate Boston, but I gotta give respect where it’s due — <name> is a dam*n good player.”
