Last January my wife and I flew to Denver and then drove to Salt Lake City to see the Rangers. At the Utah game, I waited in line get an extra warm-up puck. My wife caught one from Rempe, but I wanted one as well.
The couple in front of me were great company as we waited. We talked for close to an hour. This week, Utah sold goal-pucks from games throughout the season.
I reached out to a collector who knew someone that had a goal puck from the Ranger game. He set up a group chat, and it turns out it was the guy that was lined up in front of me for warm-up pucks! What a coincidence!
He remembered me and we struck up a conversation and agreed to a deal. He needed another warm-up puck (They only sold 2 per person) so he offered a swap. My warm-up puck for the goal puck. Mattias Maccelli's 2nd goal of the game!
It may not be a Rangers goal, but I couldn't be happier! We still have the other warm-up puck of course, and this goal puck will look great next to it!Keeping the streak alive with a puck from every NHL game I attended.
We honestly cannot wait to get back to SLC because this first visit has been such a memorable experience, in more ways than one!
