Predictions for tonight's game:
- Some woman will use the gathering of thousands of people to force her way onto the ice prior to faceoff and show off her singing skills by belting out some old song about being commanded by someone's sons. Kinda weird.
- In a display of fall festivities, a warning of the winter about to come, and a reminder of the flood, the remaining inch or two of flood water in the centre of the building will be frozen into ice. This will force participants in subsequent activities to wear ice skates.
- A large, apparently feral but mostly tame, dog will roam the building unimpeded and unsupervised, causing mayhem and much laughter as the confused mutt climbs over railings, attempts to steal food, and slips on the ice during intermissions. It's uncertain why Animal Services will not be called.
- A large guy in Section 213, Row 12 will drink far too much beer. His wife will be disgusted with him.
- During one of the TV timeouts, a few shameless folks will use the excuse of the roaming cameras to smooch publicly and on the big screen. Disgusting!
- Some of the guys wearing skates will say bad words. Some of the younger kids in the first few rows will be amused, shocked, or confused.
- Some fellow named Peter will describe the activities, as they occur, of the fellows wearing skates. All as it happens. This will be sent out via radio waves to all of Southern Alberta and via internet to the entire world. Very strange.
- The same thing will happen for television. Even weirder since the people listening to the description can also see exactly what's happening.
- A player will fall down.
- Some kid in section 120 will spill their popcorn and their father will refuse to buy them more. The kid will pout for a minute or so, then forget all about it after watching the feral mutt.
- The group of participants wearing darker colored sweaters will deposit chunks of vulcanized rubber into their opponents net-covered metal frame using shaped composite material partially covered with tape a bit more frequently than the participants wearing light colored sweaters. This will apparently entertain the viewers a great deal. Strangely, despite the sweater colors, both groups of participants will have a large letter C on the front.
