Wiener the Puck

Went to a hockey game while in Vienna. It was too much fun. The fans really make the game. Lots of locals with war drums, flags, banners and sparklers continuous cheering! The Vienna Captials won 4-1 which made the game even better. The announcer would say, "and the score is, Vienna Capitals" and we'd all say "4" and the announcer would say, "Linz" and we say "1, they suck!". Talk about home team advantage!
There where also two Canadian flags up, Canadian players on the ice (including former NHLers) and a few NHL jerseys in the stands. I had my Maple Leafs cap on (Go Leafs Go!)

It's been a while since I blogged an entry, and this is going to be a short one. I'm currently in Vienna to work with the science team over here. It's been a productive time so far as I slowly get through my backlog of papers to write. A new location far away at a clean desk definitely helps!
