Hockey game in Zagreb, Croatia watching Medveščak Bears travel video transcript:
It two days it is my birthday and you asked me a couple of weeks ago what do you want for your birthday? So I realized we were going to be in Zagreb so I was like researching some things. Hmmm. Should I go out for a nice dinner? Should I have something else? But then I realized they have a hockey team. Oh my gosh. Yeah. And you know how much I like ice hockey. Like being a Canadian and being away from Canada that is one of the things I miss the most. Aside from family and friends is actually going to live hockey games. So when I found out they had a team here I was like that is my birthday present. So we are going to watch a Medveščak Zagreb game. And they used to be in Kontinental Hockey League but now they've switched back to the Austrian League so they're playing Vienna tonight. Oh and we're going to go checkout that game and show you the whole experience.
Time to go buy those tickets. Alright Sam tickets in hand. It was 30 Kuna and so that came to like 5 US dollars I believe. What kind of seats did you get for 5 bucks. Ah, they are all the same price throughout the whole arena. She said she was giving us the two best seats so hopefully we can trust her. The ticket ladies opinion but yeah we've got our tickets so let's go in.
You have something to show us. I got the hat and I forgot to tell you the team name is the bears. That is a ferocious looking bear. And ready for my superman moment. He's stripping down. They were both quite cheap. I think it was 90 for the shirt and 60 for the hat. Kuna. About 10 bucks for the hat and 15 bucks for the shirt.
I've got the goodies. Big thing of popcorn. This was Crno beer. it looks like a dark beer. And yeah we're set for the game.
The first period is over and the action was really good. Lots of back and forth. Actually it looked like Vienna was going to score first but then we rallied and we ended up scoring late in the period. So guess what we're up one nothing. That is awesome.
Second break. People are really angry. Not second break. End of the second period. Alright. Anyways, it was an awesome second period for us because we scored two goals and now we're up 3 to 1. So the big question is can we hold onto the lead and win this game. Let's find out.
So that wraps up our hockey experience here in Zagreb, Croatia. Your birthday hockey. It was an awesome birthday present. That was such great entertainment. Like I had so much fun. And it was so cool that the home team won. Yeah. We didn't just win by like a goal or two. We ended up beating them 4-1. And the crowd really got into it. At the very end of the game all the players came out and had like salutes and cheers. And it was just like the entertainment value was insane. Normally people are rushing to get out and beat the crowds. It was like they won the championship or something. That is cool I mean it really got the fans into it and it was just such a good experience. If you're visiting Zagreb and you can come to one of these games. I highly highly recommend it. I'd go to another one for sure.
