(5) Philadelphia Flyers vs (4) Pittsburgh Penguins Round 1: There will be blood

[Darkstone42]

The organization has become corporate pigs...ie they don't give them away anymore and it's $15 for a freaking white tshirt. It's salt and pepper look unless you give them away. It's stupid.

A white T-shirt would suffice. How many people (besides me) don't own a plain white T-shirt?

And if I could get playoff tickets, I could surely buy a pack of undershirts and wear one to the game.

It just bothers me because it's not like that hurts them financially...THE COYOTES give away t-shirts. They're run by the freaking NHL, and they give out t-shirts. Just hasn't looked, or felt, the same since.

To continue on it a bit: the CEC has gained a corporate feel. Not like Toronto or New York bad, but bad enough. Part of that is probably because seat prices are more and that it's just not the Igloo, but even the games I've attended haven't felt the same. They've been loud the past 2 games, I give the fans there credit, but the building doesn't intimidate.

The game against Chicago I attended had a pretty Igloo-esque atmosphere, but on TV, it doesn't look the same.

Technically, this maybe should have gone in OT: I'm bored.
Philly-Pitts scoring by quarter (8 games)
Pit 12 8 8 0

Does anyone have a link to dan bylsma's postgame for game 2? I'd heard it was interesting, but I can't find it on the tubes.

If this link doesnt bring you to it, scroll down and you'll see the latest videos. Go to Page 2, and you'll see Bylsma's (And Laviolette's too) press conference in a thumbnail

Eh, I was there. Loud in the good moments, but could hear a pindrop in the start of the third when the Hawks rallied. I dunno, when I'm at games I still enjoy them a lot, but it just feels different.

Also, interesting rumor from Cy (the Hulk guy) about the game last night...his status of the FB was about being disappointed/disgusted, and mentioned that he saw Mario throwing things in his box last night after the 5th PHI goal...so, expect #66 suited up, right? Best shape of his life?

Sounds more like he is impressed with not being an owner of the Flyers, and that he will shock the world to sign with us for a final shot at the Cup.

And I am off folks. Amped for the game tomorrow. Been a bit since I made it to one.

I see what you did there...and I DON'T LIKE IT. DO YOU HEAR ME?! I DON'T LIKE IT.

Yeah...

Of course, I'm pretty quiet at games, myself.

I'm quiet everywhere, though, so...
