We went to Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals tonight thinking it would be great to win but emotionally prepared for a sweep by the mighty Red Wings. We were happy just to be there watching the Stars in the finals for the first time in so many years. A couple we met from our apartment community joined us for their first professional hockey game EVER. The Stars decided to play their own game instead of chasing the Red Wings, and the result was one of the most exciting hockey games I’ve ever attended. Regular season games are fun, but playoff games are so much better. I took a couple of pics after the game:

If by some miracle Dallas advances and we go to one of the games, Jenny promised to paint a big green star on her belly. Go Stars!
