The Sommet Center is tall enough and has blue lights to be seen from far away so it's easy to figure out where you're going from your parking spot. We parked farther west this time since we had come from seeing Andy & Bekki in the hospital on that side of town. We gobbled down some Subway sandwiches and headed a couple of blocks down to the game.
We got to the Sommet Center early enough to see all of the warm-up. Little kids lined up along the glass to try and talk to or get something free from the players. They dropped a couple of pucks over to some kids that were standing near us.
Captain Jason Arnott warming up. The two Alternate Captains are J.P. Dumont and Steve Sullivan.
One of the neatest things about seeing the Phoenix Coyotes play was that their head coach is Wayne Gretzky. He was watching the Predators warm up and looked like he was taking notes, but I can't be sure. I didn't see him get any more excited than he looks in this picture.

Ryan down close as we were leaving the lower part of the arena to find our seats WAY up on the 3rd level, in section 304. That's right, we got to sit right next to (separated only by the aisle) the Cell Block.
The giant saber-toothed tiger head drops from high in the arena for the Predators to skate through as they are introduced.
Preds chase a Coyote 2-on-1 through the center of the ice as the game begins. Steve Sullivan scored the first goal in the first period. The Coyotes scored their only goal in the 2nd, but were quickly behind again when Jason Arnott made it 2-1.
One of the intermission games was an obstacle course two guys competed in while dressed as hockey pucks. It's pretty funny because they can't see anything under the puck. They kept falling over and couldn't get up by themselves.
Jeff Massey (circled) was at the game too with his son Ethan, son-in-law Mike, and his brother who bought the tickets as a Christmas present. We spotted them from afar after Jeff texted me their location.
Preds win 4-1! Ward scored early in the 3rd, followed by the Preds' 4th goal with about 5 minutes left in the game. They outshot the Coyotes 47-26. We were one goal short of free Frosties at Wendy's. At the end of the game our chants went from "Let's Go Preds!" to "We Want Frosties!"

It seems like Gretzky should look older than that. But I guess we aren't really THAT old...
