3) a-It's beer-thirty
4) e-if I'm seeing a game in an unfamiliar rink I'll go locate my seat then hit the washroom and beer stand. At home I'll usually take care of whatever essentials need attention before heading to my seat.
5) d-talk about the lesser of four evils
6) b-no eye contact, no movement...nothing to see here
7) d-during the week I'm probably heading out; on the weekends (and playoff games- I know...har de har har) stick it out
8) e-again, depends on weekday/weekend. I'm much more apt to go hoist a few on a weekend rather than a weeknight when my alarm clock is going off at 4.30 a.m.
If you come to Toronto...I will have you 86'd from Tim Hortons unless you sign a note promising to order decaf. Your questions are always entertaining though.|||1) a. Hockey Jersey. Most of the time.
2) b. $50, just in case I might see a T-shirt along with Food/Drinks and such.

4) d. Find my seat most of the time.
5) b. Well, I hate the smell of smoke. And I can't handle sitting next to a girl on her phone, I think i'd be tempted to spill a drink on her or something. And I also can't handle a dunk retard. But a fan of the opposing team, i suppose would be pretty fun, I'd taunt them lol.
6) c. Thats happened to me before. I started dancing lol.
7) d. I usually stay until the team goes in their locker room after the whole "players of the game" come out and greet the fans. Then I leave.
8) a and d.- I usually tell all my friends about all the games i go too, but I'd love to see it over and over again. Oh Datsyuk it will happen. |||1) You can wear the hokey jersey, just make sure whatever you wear is warm! It gets pretty cold in there.
2) Depends.... If you have the ticket already then all you would need money for is food really. So around 20 bucks is ok

A) $50. $20 for parking (rip off, right?), $10 for food, $5 for a program

4) So, you get inside the arena what in the first thing you do?
E) Other - I buy a program and then wait to watch the players warm up.
5) The game has started. During a stoppage in play, you notice a gaggle of people headed toward your nearly empty row. What person would you rather have sitting next to you:
D) A fan of your team that is obviously wasted - Even if they're drunk, at least they're a Devils fan! Their random slurs and outbursts make the game funnier.
6) During another stoppage in play, you suddenly see you face on the JumboTron. Do you:
A) Wave in the direction of the camera - I'm not crazy enough to do anything wild :P Once a couple of fans lifted their shirts up to show off their gut, and the camera guy quickly turned the camera away lol.

C) Leave right on time, and fight with the crowd - I'm pretty good at getting through people.

Then I get super tired and call it a night.|||1) B anything casual, if I am going directly from the office I will usually change into jeans or something

4) take a leak then get a beverage- go sit down- may sneak out for another leak/beverage before the game starts

4) Take a leak because I've been drinking for 3 hours

7) Leave after the three stars. Why go to a game if you're going to leave early?
8) Usually I'll go home and watch highlights over and over.

E. I wear a nice white shirt, a black blazer, black slacks, nice shoes....and a black fedora
2) E. In Canada, machines only dispense in $20s, so I usually take out $100. In Chicago, I use my Visa everywhere
3) E. I usually go inside and seek out friends with the league or teams (I have a league pass that I can use at all 30 arenas). There's still about 3-4 scouts per team that I know. I usually seek them out. I still know a lot of players, coaches, and GMs too.
4) E. see above
5) B. He sounds like the sane one
6) B. In my case I rarely look at the jumbotron, so I wouldn't be ignoring it - I'd miss it completely.
7) B. I'm usually among the last to leave.
8) E. Since I am a pensioner of my most beloved team.....I go and congratulate the boy myself. All the boys on my team know who most of us former scouts are. Chicago is a good team for it's former employees.
Note: I watched the final game from Yankee Stadium, and one of the players (I can't remember who it was) talked about how the best thing about being a Yankee was that all the old-timers still hung around the clubhouse and talked about the old days. In the 60s, the NHL was like that (and in Montreal and Detroit it still is), you could walk into the Hawks dressing room and meet the Bentley brothers, ot Glen Skov, in the 70s, Bill White and Pierre Pilote would hang around. I think the NHL would be a better place if Glenn Anderson hung around the Oilers dressing room drinking beer, or Bryan Trottier imparted his wisdom to Ruslan Fedotenko, or Marcel Dionne and Charlie Simmer gave wedgies to Anze Kopitar. The NHL needs to bring the past to the present better than they do. I applaud the Steinbrenner family (from Tampa I hear) for keeping the traditions alive at Yankee Stadium as much as I applaud Mike Ilitch and his open door policy to Red Wings alum. I enjoy hanging around arenas talking to people about the game, the players, management, etc. It's been a part of my life for 50 hyears....why stop now.
|||1. A) Wear a jersey. Have to show support for the team. Also a teeshirt with the team logo on it incase I decide to take off my jersey for a bit.
2. D) None. I've never taken oney out so I probably wouldn't be able to fih=gure out how.... not that I have a lot of money anyways
3. C%26amp;D) I get dome dinner, and then head to the seats to watch the warmups and what not.
4. E) Check out the Sabre store
5. B) I don't mind sitting next to a fan of the opposing team
6. B) LOL I was on the jumbotron once when I was younger. I looked up and saw my face and quickly looked the other directio pretending I didn't notice.
7. C) Leave right on time, after the three stars. I'm in no hurry to get home. I know the back way out so I can beat most of the traffic
8. C) Watch the highlights and listen to the postgame show on the radio|||1.) A. Hockey Jersey. It's the only way to go!
2.) B. $50. Food isn't too cheap, and I may see something else I like!
3.) E. Other- usually I'll walk around the arena and check out some of the little shops set up, possibly grab a snack, and keep looking around.
4.) D. Find your seat, and wait for the game. Usually I get there with a little bit of time left, sometimes I'll even walk down to the front and watch the warm ups. It's the best time to get good pictures if you're not sitting front row!!
5.) D. A fan of your team that is obviously wasted. I have been surrounded by fans of the opposing team (at home, too!!) but the wasted fan of my team will definitely provide some interesting stories the next day... =P
6.) C. Get up and start dancing. Something like this never happens to me, so I'm not gonna waste this moment!!
7.) B. Stay until the game is well over, and wait for the crowd to clear out. I would never leave the game when my team is winning! Especially by a large margin!!! Staying after is one of the fun parts too!!
8.) E. Other- I would brag about it the next day, and tell all my friends how they missed the most amazing game last night!!|||1.A... because i payed a lot of money for it so i'm gonna wear it

6.A.. i have always wanted to be on thejumbo-tron
7.C... you never know something could still happen like a fight or injury
8.C|||1. B Wearing an NHL jersey to a game in Toronto makes you ripe for Panhandlers. How can you convince them you've got no spare change when you've doled out $500 for a Wellwood Jersey.
2. D ($200) never take less than $200 out in case you meet some panhandlers.
3. C. Gotta get some cheap raw fish before the game.
4. D. Lots to do before game time at the rink. Check out the stands for buddies.
5. C. more in common with him than any of the others.
6. C. or D. depending on who is sitting next to me and if the Kiss Cam is on.
7. B. Always take your time. Live for the moment.
8. C. Since I've Tivo ed the game I can watch it all night and day if I want to.|||1. B..Something casual.

4. A. It's almost a 3 hour drive to the arena and I'm coffeed up.
5.C..

8. D
|||I love coffee!!
1 Jersey. At least that if not like some sort of sign or face paint or something along those lines.
2 Well i dont have an account, but if i did i would take at least $100
because i am very likely to spend most of it in the shops or on food.
3 I would probably do a little bit of all of it, but i doubt i wouldn't even know when the game started.
4 I usually find my seat, watch warm ups, and then go get food.
5 Wow pick any tougher choices why dont you!! Uh i would have to go with the drunk fan. The rest would annoy me way too much but i could deal with someone ready to pass out because it would be quiet.
6 Wave to the camera but i hate that.
7 Definently B. If i pay a huge sum of money, i am going to stay and enjoy every minute of it.
8 A and C. It would be awesome and definently make my week!!
Good questions as usual!!|||1 A.
2. D. None since all arenas accept debt and credit to pay for all purchases at the arena.
3. D. I stuff my face with 9 hot dogs, 7 hamburgers, 5 pizzas, 2 sodas, 12 beers and still have room for desert at the first intermission. Oh and I would spend the next 30 minutes looking for a mint!
4. D. Do a #2, have any mints?
5. C.
6. D. Give the middle finger
7. D. Walk down to the opposing teams bench and look to start a fight
8. E. Brag to everyone here at Yahoo Answers!!
|||1) hockey jersey
2) $50
3) go for a drink in the outside bar
4) buy a beverage
5) teen girl = P
6) other - i would grab the teen girl next to me and make out with her
7) leave on time and fight with the crowd
8) call some buddies and brag in a bar|||1) I like wearing my jersey shirts... Simply because it's a conversation starter. Someone else in the crowd can be like "ohhh! you like Talbot too?" and you can just spark a conversation from there. but when i'm not really wanting to talk, i'll just wear a regular shirt.
2) I'd choose the other for this one. I'd probably take 10 if anything. I think if i got $100 out, i'd spend it on hockey stuff that i really don't need.
3) If i get there early, I party with the other fans outside. The Mellon Arena always has those crazy fans sitting on the hood of their car screaming chants and trying to get people to look at them, why not join?... i have nothing better to do!
4) I just find my seat. I pee before i got ANYWHERE, so i have no reason to get up during the event i'm at.
5) I absolutely hate people who talk during hockey games, and i cannot stand drunk people at games... for various reasons. I'd choose the guy wearing a jersey of the opposing team. It's fun to just scream "YOUU SUCKKKKK GO HOOOMEEE" and you both be able to laugh about it.
6) I'd probably just make a funny face on the JumboTron.... or like, smile at it awkwardly... I'd be creeped out... like, of all people they chose me to put the camera on lol
7) I leave probably 3 minutes after the game is over. I like to stay and celebrate the win with my team. I especially like taking pictures of my team when they win, when they are all on the ice hugging eachother %26amp; whatnot.
8) I usually text a bunch of people, people that aren't really a fan of the player, and rub it in their face. I used to do that when Malone did REALLY good :)|||1. a
2. b
3. e. Sometimes I walk around the rink to kill some time, and buy some stuff.
4. c
5. d He looks funny lol.
6. a
7. c
8. c|||1) Any Jersey
2) 50
3) Go inside and sit
4) leak
5) wasted fan or girl on phone
6) start dancing
7) beat the crowd at the last possible moment
8) watch reply on the bed|||1. A - the kids bought me a jersey, I'm gonna wear it with pride
2. $80 - just to be awkward, and so it shows up as 'ours' on the bank statement.
3. A and/or B - I love to people watch wherever I go , and hockey fans are great fun to see doing their stuff.
4. D.
5. The biker. He's not likely to smoke at his seat anyway. It will tick me off if he gets up and down more than once for a smoke, though.
6. A is probably the best I could manage - D is probable - I'd be so astonished that I'd do something to look like a complete dufus.
7. D. With my husband driving, we stay till the absolute end of the game, and still try to beat the traffic.... type A to the core.
8. We did this. Had to go to a pharmacy en route, to get throat sweets for me - my voice hurt me for days. We picked up the kids from our friends' house wearing the player's flag that was a giveaway that night around our necks, singing 'Here We Go, Here We Go'. Without the kids to worry about I reckon we'd have done A, B and C.
Now, what's a natural hat trick as distinct from just a hat trick? Someone wise must tell me!
Edit: Thanks Homes, a couple of wise people emailed me with the definition, which I also really appreciated. The definition makes sense - and the night I lost my voice (I'm so glad if was that game I could get to), it was young Zetterberg breaking a scoreless streak, and yes, it was a 'natural'.|||1. e. all of the above. (the other part will include underwear. or wait, maybe "c" can cover that. if the underwear has a logo. sigh. i digress)
2. c. better to have and not need, then "need" and not have. beer is expensive these days.
3. b. bandwagon wings fans are very entertaining as they bring copies of "hockey for dummies" when they arrive to the game. (Actual story)
4. d, b, c, repeat b as much as possible, later to be followed by a (see b). it's all about priorities.
5. d. entertainment. might also absorb the potential souvenir puck
6. d. do the most bizarre thing that strikes me at that very instant. hey, spontaneity is exciting.
7. b. it's all about the entire experience. after all, i paid the $$. (see question #2)
8. d. (sigh. kids)|||1) C) Something with at least a NHL team logo : I don't have a jersey, I only got t-shirt, sweaters and hats.
2) B) 50$ : That's enough for food and for a bus ride. Don't really need more than that, since everytime I go to a game, its in Ottawa and their store only sell Sens stuff and I hate the Sens.
3) C) Try to quick go grab some dinner
4) E) Other - Explain? : Go find where our seats are, sit there for a few minutes, go grab something to eat and get back to our seats to make sure not to miss the warm-up
5) B) The guy wearing a jersey of the opposing team, and his face is painted team colors. : I don't have a problem with having a fan of the opposing team sitting beside me, cuz, everytime a go to a game, I'm always one of the few fans there who cheer for the visitor teams.
6) B) Ignore it, and pretend that you didn’t notice : It never happen, so I can really say what I would do, but I think I would probably ignore it, cuz I'm a pretty shy person, and I wouldn't want 17 000 persons looking at me waving at the camera or acting crazy.
7) B) Stay until the game is well over, and wait for the crowd to clear out : Best thing to do. You just don't leave the place 'til they name the 3 stars.
8) A) Call some buddies and brag : I will not call them, but send them all a msgs on their cellphone to brag about it.
