Opinion 7 Ways Taking Someone to a Sporting Event is the Same as a Super-Romantic Date
#1 – Extremely expensive food
What's the best way to impress a date? Take her to an expensive restaurant, of course!
But even the most expensive 5-star restaurant in town doesn't charge $6 for soda or $5 for water. This concession stand does, though — so it must be the best restaurant in town! Your date will no doubt be impressed by your big-spending ways and your ways in the art of love.
#2 – Fine clothing
The finest establishments require patrons to wear expensive clothing. See that guy over there in that jersey? And that guy there? And her over there? And me? These are authentic jerseys. They cost $250. That's right, baby — 250. Just for a shirt. We're practically at a Milan fashion show here.
#3 – Dancing
Fancy clothing. Expensive dinner. Now it's time to dance … because they're playing Gangnam Style during the timeout! WOOOOOOOOO! Heyyyyyyyyy … sex-y la-dy!

News Struggling Capitals Vow to Turn Season Around in Time to Make Usual Disappointing Playoff Exit
"We've dug ourselves a big hole, no doubt about that," said team captain Alexander Ovechkin, after a 5-2 loss to the Penguins. "But we have the talent in this locker room to come roaring back and to enter the playoffs as the hottest team in hockey and really get everyone excited, only to then get eliminated in the first or second round. I guarantee it."
Ovechkin's brash guarantee of another early playoff exit was backed up by his teammates.
"I'm 100-percent behind Alex," said goaltender Braden Holtby. "I know I've seen nothing from this team that suggests we would win a playoff series. The toughest part will be making the playoffs, of course. But if we do? I'll say it, I'm not scared. Write this down: We will get eliminated immediately. How's that for confidence?"
