Last night it was time for the Flyers game. I must say, it has been a very great stretch of weekends, so don’t worry, I’m usually not this interesting. It is amazing how different the experience was compared to the Eagles game, but certainly not in a bad way.
First of all, I want to point out that I was sitting in the very last row in the stadium and it proved the point that there really isn’t a bad seat in the house. I may go out on a limb and say that it’s better up there than right up at the ice (I’m probably just saying that cause I can’t afford those tickets) but hey, the seats were awesome nonetheless.
I consider Flyers fans more “die hards.” People who go to the games aren’t fair-weather fans, they love the team, it defines them. The games are always intense for them and the atmosphere really reflects that.
The Devils were in town, so even though it is early in the season, the passion was there (even though some empty maroon seats were seen. It could be that all those people were in line at the bathroom because honestly, I’ve never had to wait in that long and frustrating of a bathroom line in all my years. Word to the wise: don’t wait until the period ends to relieve yourself. That was a rookie move on my part.
As most of the Flyers’ losses seem to go, they outplay the opponent all game but a few mistakes and turnovers end up killing us. Last night, regulation time wasn’t enough to decide the winner and neither was overtime, so it was off to a shootout. Out of Simmonds, Briere, and Giroux, only Briere was able to find the back of the net. 2 Devils scored, so that was the game.
Highlights of the game: Mites on ice, harassing Devils fans and boy with Yankees leather jacket (dad was not happy about that)
