Bonibelle, You Flyered Up?

[dax]

Know you're an Eagles fan.  You follow hockey?  Flyers start their Cup run tonight.  Of course, I expect it to be a short run.  Maybe they make it to the second round.  Doubt that they'll make it beyond that.  But given last year, I'll take it.

[Bonibelle]

Oh Dax, I only made it to one game, and that was because my son was singing in a competition...the Flyers lost, but it really didn't matter since we were sitting in the VERY highest seats available and it was like watching a miniature circus...

Don't you think that we are all just Philly fans?  Yeah, I am much more passionate about the Eagles, but I would love to see the Flyers do something great...Do I wear the black and orange?..only at Halloween  

[wewannahottub]

All I can say is,...  [glow][/glow]GO PENGUINS!!!!!![glow][/glow]

And, even though I don't make it to games, I am proud to wear the Black and Gold!!!

Any more o' yinz out there from Piksburgh??

Oh, yes, I do remember you posting about that a while back.

Back before I had kids, I had Flyers season tix to go along with my Eagles tix.  There were actually 4 of us who shared the Flyers tix so we each got 10 games per year.  Back then if you had season tix, you had the priviledge of buying additonal playoff tix.  The first year they opened the big house I was at all the home games when the Flyers made it to the Cup Finals.

For game-1 of the Cup Finals, I took a friend of mine who was confined to a wheelchair.  My seats were up in the nosebleeds, but not wheelchair accessible.  We went to the services desk and they hooked us up in the wheelchair section in the first level.  My seat for game-1 of the Cup finals was 12th row right on the blue line next to my buddy.  It was awesome!  Except that they lost that game and the next three.  

[In Canada eh]

Great seats!! Bummer for you they lost.  That game and the series, and I suppose, as well, they lost tonights' game!

But. my Pens won!!  Wooohooo [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

It has been a while, probably since I was in nursing school, since I went to a game.  I hope to get back to one someday, but I might need to win the Powerball!!

The spinning maple leaf is for the Canadian flag.  I AM BY NO MEANS A MAPLE LEAF FAN!!!! .  In fact I pretty much hate all things Toronto.  

Vinny,

  I am from Windsor Ontario and I can see Joe Louis Arena from Riverside Drive in Windsor.  I can also see Commerica Park (Tigers) and Ford Field (Lions).  I can drive 45 minutes to Auburn Hills to see a Pistons game. I grew up watching Detroit sports and have remained a fan.


Once again,

I believe that loss was against the Red Wings and Dax I always thought the "Big House" was in Ann Arbor Michigan.

Since this is a hockey thread maybe you folks can help me.  I listen to ESPN and they'll refer to the Montreal Canadians as the Avs (havs).  I could understand them doing so for the Avalanche but the Canadians?  Am I misunderstanding them (or is it misremembering for you Clemens haters) and they are refering to Colorado?  If it is the Canadians what does Avs refer to?

Thanks from a novice hockey fan.  This is beginning to be my favorite sports time of the year, when basketball ends.     ( nanna hey hey, kiss it good bye.)

I'm a big sports fan but hockey isn't my bag yet I know this one. It's the HABS as in "inhabitants", not Avs or havs...

French nicknames for the team include Les Canadiens, Le Bleu-Blanc-et-Rouge, La Sainte-Flanelle, Le Tricolore, Les Glorieux, Les Habitants and Le Grand Club. In English, the main nickname is the Habs [glow](coming from "Les Habitants")[/glow].

Thank you, it makes sense now.

My favorite hockey player was traded to the Wings back in the 70's - Eddie Giacomin and the Rangers have been crap ever since!

Living so far from a border I think of it as being a little prohibitive - going through customs but I guess if you live that close then it becomes part of the commute.

And altough I really am not a sports fan at all - I have to say Philadelphia doesn't have any real sports teams!  

Speaking of sports ... my kids are sports fans and we tried to get tickets to a Yankee game for them to see the old stadium one last time - man was it hard. We had to go to an autherized "scalping" place to get tickets.

[Bonibelle]

Well Vinny since you have admitted that you are not a sports fan, we will strike your last comment and instruct the jury to ignore it. You are not a credible witness. Besides you're from Jersey.. :-?

Enough with the flyers, are you ready to be top dog for a week?
