For Boston, for Boston.....

Saturday night, I met up with friends at an "American-style" sports bar to watch the Swedish hockey finals.

Sure the bar looked like a generic sports bar/restaurant but the prices were a bit more steep then in the US. I thought this menu was a good example since it's mostly in English (med kyckling is with chicken). One USD is equivalent to about 7 Swedish krona. (So, yes, that cheeseburger is $17! This is pretty typical.)Apparently, at sports bars here, you can't sit at a table unless you are ordering food. Since we were just having a few drinks, we stood in the bar for the game. Look what I saw on the wall across from where we were standing........which was only a small part of the Doug Flutie shrine.....It was a good hockey game - relatively high scoring and close all the way through. It was game six in the series, which ended up being the final game. There was only one person who was a fan of one of the two teams playing and his team lost. A few groups around us supporting the winning team ordered bottles of champagne at the end of the game. I've seen people order celebratory shots before but champagne seemed a bit much!
