We went to our first Predators game Monday night. We got there a little late and as soon as we sat down a fight broke out on the ice between two players. I expected the referees to skate on over there and break it up but instead they just surrounded the two guys and watched. We were very confused because neither of us had ever been to a hockey game and knew nothing about the sport (the only hockey we had watched was the Mighty Ducks movies growing up and Joey Gladstone on Full House)! So anyway, they continue throwing punches until one of the guys ended up on the ground (see picture below) and the referees sent them to the penalty box. Needless to say, we were the dreaded friends that asked the people we went with 20 questions throughout the whole game but we had a lot of fun and it was an exciting sport to watch.

Grace...I went to a Riverkings game once and they let the guys fight so long, and there was blood all over the ice...they had to clean it up before the game could start again! Who knew they don't break up fights in hockey!!
