Best/Worst CBJ Game You Saw Live

[Forepar]

Best: Game 4 of Pens series 2014. Electric. Got my daughter more hooked on hockey than every before (she was already over the edge!).
Close second was Game 4 of Detroit series, but A) longer ago in time; B) CBJ lost game and series ended; and C) other than Game 4 with Det, series was not competitive.

Worst: Saturday afternoon game Feb 18, 2012, vs Chicago. Sold out arena, seemed like 70% were Hawks' fans. CBJ got schooled and drummed 6-1, could easily have been 15-1, it was THAT bad. Put CBJ at 17-35-6 for the season, which was the bottom of the bottom and caused my best friend/season ticket partner and me to A) leave CBJ game early for first time in 10 yrs; and B) decide at O'Shaughnessy's during 3rd period that we were not renewing season tickets. We had gone to 38-39 games together each season for 10 years. We didn't (and haven't).

Best: I have no idea, to be honest. There have been so many terrible games, that I can't remember the great ones I saw live.

Worst: Sunday, November 13th, 2005 versus the Kings. We were there for my mom's birthday, and got to see a not great Kings squad smack the Jackets 8-2. Craig Conroy had a 5 point night, and Frolov put up his first ever hat trick. I still can't say LA Kings in her presence without a violent reaction. Granted, part of that is Jeff Carter-related.

Best - a 5-2 win in Colorado where the usher asked me who the team on my jersey was before the Jackets managed a win over a far superior team (including an Odie goal on Roy via the 5 hole); or the Dallas game this past Christmas - first win my wife got to see in person (they lost all the others) and my 2 year old daughter loved it.

Worst - Game 4 with Det. That ending was just awful (and fortunately haven't been to too many blowouts, though it helps I live across the country).

Best- Nashville home Finale in 2013. Started off the year as an apathetic fan, but that run of wins and points to get back into the playoff race was incredible. I was proudly wearing my jersey around in Indiana all the time. I graduated college that same day and hurried back home so I could go to the hockey game, wasn't missing that for anything. The Bobrovsky flurry of saves had me jacked up. Remember watching the Minnesota vs Colorado game on the big screen following the game.
2nd best- Playing the St. Louis Blues in 2015 at home, brought a new hockey friend to the game.

Worst- I've been to my fair share of blowout losses, none that stand out more than the others

Worst: Dec 11, 2011 against Boston

My season tickets were second to the top row in front of the pressbox.

I had to listen to Jack Edwards blather on the entire night.

Makes Rimer seem tolerable. Even though he isn't.

BEST: I think in year 1 we were playing Boston and the game went into overtime. Geoff Sanderson with literally seconds to go skated the length of the ice and scored the game winner. The sold out crowd (norm for those days) went nuts.

WORST: Take your pick from any of the games where we had a 1 goal lead late in the 3rd and the other team ties it up and then wins it in regulation or overtime.
