Invasion VIII has began at the airport in Vienna where 11 of 12 trip´s members met. Whole travelling to Denver was quite easier and less complicated than in the past as we had only one connection flight in London. Yet on board we realized our group will be nothing but a group of great friends with unbelieveable experiences ahead. Both flights went well. That to Denver for 10 hours was very long, but everybody could make it with no matter how often he fly.

After arrival we rent a car - big van for 12 passengers. It is like a small tank! Photos will appear soon online. Heavy traffic stressed us a lot but at the end we arrived to Pepsi Center on time.

Those our members who traveled to Denver for the first time will report about their very first Avs game in Colorado at www.stadiumseries.eurolanche.com in the extended coverage. Our time in the arena was busy. Firstly, we were interviewed by Pepsi Center staff and secondly by a reporter of NHL.com. We will have updates on both stories soon. We could not miss watching a warm up or watching the game in the first row.

We really enjoyed the Sharks game for its intensity and a fight to the final minute. Hopefully more games like this come.
