Last game you've seen live?

A new league for me this evening, Sparta Praha - HK Mountfield. But of a slow game, that Mountfield won in OT 2-1
Calv and I went to two games last weekend:
(1) Rogle v Malmo - A deserved win for Malmo. Rogle seemed to run out of gas after the first period and they missed some easy chances. The goal they did score took a fortunate bounce off the opposing defenceman into the net. The skill on show was good but I'd say the NLA games I've seen are of a higher level - but that is probably in part to Malmo and Rogle being relatively weak SHL teams and the NLA being import heavy. I was surprised at quite how physical the game was. There were a couple of nasty boarding incidents.
(2) New Jersey v Edmonton - It was hardly a classic game but it was worth it just to see McDavid's incredible skills. Some of the goals scored by both teams were very impressive to see in real life. The NHL games in Europe are always a bit hit and miss but I'm glad I went. That's another two NHL teams checked off my list - but Calv is well ahead of me in that regard!
