One for the Bucket List... Detroit Red Wings Breast Cancer Awareness Night 2013

I have seen posted several times in my online support groups, what is on your bucket list?  I've seen other survivors list a trip to Ireland or Hawaii, another wants to go skydiving... me? I just want to go to a Detroit Red Wings game. On October 12, 2013, I was able to cross this off my bucket list as I went to my very first pro-hockey game on their breast cancer awareness night against the Philadelphia Fliers.
Always in good company with a very good friend, Angie whom it was her first Red Wings game too. My highlight was seeing Red Wings goalie, Jimmy Howard skating out onto the ice rink geared up in a pink ribbon helmet and pink arms and legs padding with pink ribbons on his shins... Personally I thought he looked bad-ass! Detroit Red Wings closed the game with a 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Fliers. 
Angie and I finished the night with a bite to eat at Detroit's Hard Rock Cafe, watching the Detroit Tigers live on big screen. Also, I bought this HardRock pink ribbon guitar pin, I always wanted one of these since I first saw them when I was diagnosed. Next on my bucket list... Detroit Piston's game.
