Back from the last game in this second Invasion. The Avs, our boys, won the last game for us against the Dallas Stars to say us in the best way possible goodbye. The day started with the visit of the gameday practice at the Pepsi Center. This was one of the greatest experiences ever, because you were so close to the players and you even could hear the players talking with each other right infront of you. After the practice we met some players like Ryan Smyth, Milan Hejduk and Brian Willsie but also with the coaching staff. We also shortyl met Mike Modano, Brad Richards and Marty Turco from the Dallas Stars. Afterwards we spent the last few Dollars for Avalanche-merchandise and then had a rest at our hotels to be full of energy for the last game. In the eveining we wer of course at the game and cheered for our team the last time. We also had an interview on altitude broadcasting channel during the third period. Normally the second period was planned for that, but we stood right beside Kyle Keefe of altitude but there was no whistle for about 8 minutes so we got the interview in the 3rd period. After the game, we met again some players, who already know us really well know. They come to us on their own without asking them and say hello to eurolanche. After the meeting with players Peter Budaj picked us up to give us the great chance to visit the avs-lockerroom. We saw all the places in there where nobody else can go besides the players thanks to Eurolanche and Peter Budaj. After that we got finally back to our hotel. So the Invasion is finally over. The planes are leaving tomorrow early in the morning, so this will also be the last diary-entry. Thanks for reading this diary and we hope that you had enjoyed it and get some feeling on how it is like, to be up here. So maybe you get the chance next season, to join the next Invasio and be the next one, to get in contact with the players and watch some live games of our beloved team! Just ask for further informations one of our staff-members on www.eurolanche.com See ya!
