Two Days of the Condors: Game 2

Game one of the Condors back to back series against the Victoria Salmon Kings (goofiest logo ever?) was a bit of a mixed bag. Lots of intensity, plenty of physical play, a dumb penalty which led to a shootout loss. What would game two bring? First, the old farts.

Well, not really old, but the Condors Alumni taking on the West Coast Alumni (aka: California defunct teams). No checking, no backchecking, no forechecking, and barely any saves. Click any small pic to make bigger.

A great cause, and the fans loved it. The players seemed to have fun, despite the score (14-6?)

After the game, the Condors had a post game skate with the team.

Hey, who is that guy?

Yep, former L.A. King, and trivia question first NHL player born in Japan, Yutaka Fukufuji. So, yeah, I’m going in there.

Nice jersey I have there, eh? See what it is in the Swag Report.

Bakersfield was great. The Condors fans took me in completely, having me as their guest for the games, hanging out with me at the Hockey-thon, and making me happy I stopped in Bakersfield. After the post-game skate, someone stopped me as I was coming up the stairs to leave the arena. “Are you Tapeleg?” My life is now complete.
