Jarmo Kekalainen's suggestion to open the scrimmage to the public yesterday drew about 5,500 CBJ fans. I had intended to take some vacation and go; my wife already had the day off. But I hurt my myself (upper body, day to day) and couldn't go. But this break, and an event like that are helping me to get my edge back as a fan.
You see, I let it all hang out in that series against Tampa. The notion of cheering hard when the least little thing went bad meant nothing to me. The funny part of game 4, is that I don't even remember Tampa tying the game, we were cheering so hard.
