I usually only post on the Flyers board, but I thought that all hockey fans would enjoy this, so I'm bringing it to the general board.

At the Wells Fargo Center, Steve Coates broadcasts Flyers games from the "Pierre McGuire - Inside the Glass" spot between the benches. Inside that box, the Flyers also have 2 premium seats. Billy Joel and his son were in them at the last Flyers-Rangers home game. If Billy Joel is sitting there, than a numbskull like me shouldn't be sitting there but through some good fortune, I got to be in the box with Coatesy for Thursday's Flyers-Leafs game.

The view is better 10 rows up, but the experience of sitting side-by-side with Mike Richards, Claude Giroux and Chris Pronger was incomparable. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a long-time Flyers fan. I took a bunch of pictures and posted some here -- check them out and you'll see what an amazing experience it was.

Yep, Pronger's stick is going on my wall and I didn't even have to ask for it. Jim McCrossin handed to me and even gave me tape so the carbon fiber splinters didn't chew up my hand. What a great guy.

You'd think Pronger would have coughed up a puck as well, considering he has quite the collection. :heh:

Seriously, thanks for sharing.

I know. I was going to wait a month before posting but the excitement got the better of me.

You should work on Photoshopping something more worthwhile like Michael Leighton making a pad save on Patrick Kane, Eric Lindros side-stepping Scott Stevens in the neutral zone or Leon Stickle actually making a God damned offsides call instead.

Awesomeness!


"Behind" the scenes....lol



You have a similar style to me. If I ever take pictures, at least one of them is of somebody yelling at me not to take pictures...:rockon:
