Los Angeles Kings vs. Nashville Predators

You found this. Be the first one here.

Tuesday is the night when nobody pretends. No work drinks beforehand, no plans afterwards, nobody in the building to be seen by anyone - just the regulars and whoever decided at four in the afternoon that they would rather be at an arena than at home. That crowd is quieter and significantly more knowledgeable, and if you have ever wanted to actually understand what is happening on the ice rather than following the puck on the screen above you, sit near them and listen. They will talk through the whole thing and most of it will be worth hearing. Nashville travels better than almost any club of its age, and their supporters have a habit of making a midweek road game sound like a weekend one. The ice is usually at its best this early in the year, before months of concert staging have been laid over it. Take the night with nothing attached to it and find out whether the sport holds you when the occasion is not doing the work.
