ICE HOCKEY (6)

This evening I went to watch the local Odense ice hockey team with my son. It's the quarter finals of the national play-offs, a best-of-seven series against Aalborg. Before today's match Odense were surprisingly up 2-1, and they won again tonight by 3 goals to 2, to make it 3-1. Four of the goals were scored at our end of the rink, which was good.

Between the first and second periods we had a beer and a "ribbensandwich". The latter is a lot of roast pork and crackling, stuffed into a large bun together with red cabbage and pickled cucumber. I don't think I have had one since my daughter turned vegetarian, which was some time ago. It was delicious.
