Friday I went to my first Tulsa Oiler's hockey game against the Witchita Thunder. What an experience! It definately was not at the pro-hockey level of a game, but it was still fun. Our seats just happend to be right in front of a about 12 boys around the ages of 8 to 12. They were more excited about the advertisements for Elmo live in march than anything that was taking place on the ice. Fights in hockey are pretty much a given and expected. However, this game was completely different than any other I've ever watched. If the players so much as gave each other the stare down, the ref's were there to keep them apart. The last 50 seconds of the game was the most excitement of the night. Five fights in under 20 seconds on the clock. Tulsa lost the game, but they didn't go down without getting in some good punches.
