0 BOSTON(NEWS1130)- Devastated by a 4-0 loss to the Bruins in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final in Boston, Canuck superfans The Green Men did leave TD Garden with another unique experience.
As soon as the game started, someone came down to where Force and Sully were sitting behind Boston goalie Tim Thomas. Speaking live on the News1130 Evening Show, Force says she told them Stephen Harper was in the crowd, and asked "if they'd like to meet him, because he wants to meet you!"
"Absolutely, I've never met Stephen Harper," replied Force, and in the second intermission, the Green Men were walked over by security to the Prime Minister's section in the arena. Force says Harper was waiting in his seat."He chatted with us for about three minutes, all the Conservative party reporters were taking photos - I'm sure it was a good photo-op for them."
He says it was a real cool experience despite the loss."He was really down to earth and I was very humbled that the Prime Minister of Canada wanted to meet us."
As far as their experience with Boston fans - which got a little scary at times on Monday - Force says their new seats increased their safety. "We were five rows closer to the ice and we got real lucky, sitting with a good group of passionate fans who were there with their kids."
Force says they knew nothing was going to happen to them. "I sensed nervous energy and nervous anger in the first game. In Wednesday's game there was nothing like that, it was more like joyous."
He adds every time Boston scored it was awful, and they didn't hear the end of it from fans until they left the building.
The Green Men say they're hoping to make an appearance at Game 5. |
