Now that I have made it to San Jose, I can post the swag report from the Kings vs Thrashers game.
First off, the puck I wanted to get the first time. I got the last one at the stand. Apparently, they keep selling out. Gee, I wonder why.
As part of Armenian Heritage Night, they were also handing out Armenian flags. Mind you, somewhat modified ones, but still:
OK, it’s silly and cheesy, but you know my feelings on the night. So I’m going to hang on to this one.
During warmups, I was down low to interview Connie from Kings World Podcast, and afterwards, I stayed to watch and get a few pics of the star of the night for the Thrashers (hint: I am not talking about Kovalchuk). As I sat there, a puck came over the glass, caught the netting just right, and landed at my feet. All I had to do was reach down and pick it up. And I did.
That is one piece of swag from an incredible night that I won’t forget for a long time.

And I have a microblog going, posting what is happening at the time. Think of it as twitter on my own space. Find it here.
