Sharks vs Ducks Stanley Cup Playoffs

When I was offered to attend the Sharks vs Ducks Stanley Cup Playoffs (Game 3) for free, I jumped at the chance.

I was uncertain as I had never seen an NHL playoff game live.


I arrived early - around 18:30 - and found some nearby paid parking for $15 under the I-880 bridge. I walked to the SAP Center (there were some periods of heavy rain). I quickly got inside and tried to find some food to eat. I did not like most of the choices and eventually settled on a burger.

As 19:30 game time approached, I found the elevator to take me to the 4th floor and the box where my seats would be.


Plenty of burgers, chips, wine, and beer were in the box (I could have skipped ordering food earlier). The Sharks fans were in force and very loud. I was one of the few people NOT wearing a Sharks jersey.


Our box was full of food, and we had multiple TVs to see the action closer! Sliders, sandwiches, cheeses, dips, and many other snacks were there. I liked the chocolate-covered marshmallows. The salad was proper.


It was fun to watch the Sharks absolutely destroy the Ducks 8-to-1!


There was a "mandatory" fight between the players.


I enjoyed the playoffs and hope to see another NHL game.
