Top 5 Favorite Hockey Games I Have Attended

5. In an odd pick; my 5th favorite game/s that I have attended would have to be a tie between Game 3 Western Conference Finals in 2007 when the Red Wings beat the Ducks 5-0 and Oct 5, 2007 when the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Ducks 4-0. Some of my best memories from Ducks games come in these terrible blow-outs, where it is so bad that you give up wanting to win the game, and you are just happy yelling stupid things the whole time. Bustamante anyone?

4. Last nights game against the Canucks. It would be higher if we won; but it was pretty incredible anyways. 2-0 Ducks. 5-2 Canucks. 5-5 Tie. 6-5 Canucks. 6-6 Tie (Last minute goal by my favorite player, Corey Perry to secure the tie).

Corey Perry scored a goal and had 4 assists for a career night. If that wasn't epic enough; the shootout went 13 players deep on each team for a total of 26 shoot out attempts. It was like the night was never going to end. Not to mention the fact that I was able to take in the game with most all of my friends sitting around me in the box that Brian had won in an auction. You can't put a price tag on this sort of memory...unless you are Brian in which case there was a high price to pay.

3. January 2003. Mighty Ducks beat the Kings 6-5. This was before I was into hockey. I was invited to go to this game with Jason Ellis. Jason bet that the Kings would win the game, which added a little drama to the night. The game started with the Mighty Ducks going up 3-0 in the first period. The Kings fought back with 5 straight unanswered goals to go up 5-3. Jason was feeling pretty good until the Mighty Ducks game back with 3 goals of their own to win the game 6-5. Incredible.

2. March 2004. Mighty Ducks beat the Red Wings 8-6. This was when Brian was first starting to invite me to games. Detroit scored 3 goals in the first 10 minutes, and Brian told us that if they scored one more we would leave. Fortunately for us, the Mighty Ducks scored 5 straight goals to go up 5-3. But Detroit was not done, they scored 2 goals at the end of the second period to send the game into the 3rd tied at 5. They scored again at the beginning of the 3rd to take a one goal lead 6-5; but in an incredibly ending, the Mighty Ducks scored 3 more unanswered goals to win 8-6. It was the most goals ever, 14 total, in a game in Mighty Ducks history. And I was there.

1. June 2007. Ducks beat the Senators 6-2. We won the cup that night. It wasn't a roller coaster ride game like the last three, but it was so fun and so loud that I will never forget it. I enjoyed so many playoff games; but this one takes the cake.
