I went to Rosemont to watch the Admirals hammer out a 6-4 victory on enemy ice. I purposely sat up high in section 202, where I normally get some much desired elbow room that provides a buffer from Wolves fans, but this game had a big crowd. In the second intermission, I moved to the west end of the building in order to exit the building quicker after the game to beat the traffic.
