Another week, another ice hockey game. I have heaps of photos, but have not uploaded them yet. Dana, Tyson, Paul, René and Michael, plus Paul's polish friend Nat came along. We seriously thought they were going to lose, when just before the end of the second third the Berlin Eisbären were still 0 and the Frankfurt Lions had 2 goals. BUT then they came back and won 4:2! It was soooooo exciting, and i got to wave my scarf around like a mad thing. Plus I'm learning the chants and the players names now too. It got a little violent as each team became more desperate. One of the referees was injured and had to be replaced after a collision, and one of the Eisbären ended up bleeding all over the ice when he took a hit to the face. Even with all of that padding it is still a dangerous sport. No professional hockey player actually retains all of their natural teeth.
Afterwards Tyson, Michael, René and I went out to a bar called the Pfefferbank (pepper bank). René knows the barman there so we got in for half price, and drinks were cheap too. René and Tyson are so cute! And I can claim some part in getting them together. If I hadn't taken Tyson to the ice hockey they would never have met. Michael and I just wallowed in our loneliness together. His girlfriend lives inStuttgart...
