| - Luckily for me, my dear father loves playing at the Orleans casino, and this medium roller is more than happy to hand his free tickets off to his wife and daughter. Tickets are pretty cheap, which makes for a great night of entertainment, where you can drink, yell at people and enjoy some hockey.
The coolest thing about Wranglers games is the fact that it brings every hockey fan in Las Vegas together. Go to a game and you'll see a lot of Wranglers jerseys, but you'll see just about every NHL jersey as well. Mom and I enjoy playing the license plate game with jerseys during intermissions. Double points for Penguins fans, of course. More if you get a high five from one. Automatic win if you trip a Flyers fan. Maybe not, but it's a thought if a game really goes sour and we need something else to do.
Right, the Wranglers. I'm not totally sure what the mascot, Duke, is, but he's a cool guy. He runs around the Arena giving high fives to kids, sitting on fans' laps, leading cheers, shooting T-shirt guns and mooning the visiting team.
Wranglers fans have a number of cheers, most of which include the word "suck," whether it be directed at the visiting team or the referees. They are fun to yell, so I would recommend learning them.
Quick correction (yes, I went there, Misti--) the LV Wranglers are a pro sports team. They're part of the ECHL, which supports the AHL and the NHL. Unfortunately, that means our players are often signed to other leagues, but that's the price of having good players, right?
Let's go Wranglers, let's go! (clap clap)
