When he said. "On the whole. I'd rather be in Philadelphia". Its a down and dirty hockey lovin' city where neighborhood kids playing street hockey add up skateboarders practicing their kickflips. Philly fans experience their hockey even if they do check it through orange-colored glasses!It was too early for Philadelphia fans to boo Santa Claus again but I got my overlap of boos as I wandered the Wachovia Center on Saturday night. My brother Pete came down from Connecticut to connect me at the bet and change surface though I'm far from a Flyers fan the aggroup provided us with the royal treatment. The Flyers publicist. Shauna gave us a tour of the entire rink from the skybox to the locker dwell and a camera man from the NHL followed us around the entire measure which was a new experience. As I checked out the concourse between periods. I met plenty of Flyer fans and their reaction to my 30 Games Lightning jersey was about 50/50. Half the fans appreciated what I was trying to accomplish and the other half treated me like I expected with graphic descriptions of which bodily parts I could stuff my jersey into. I change surface got booed more than the few stray Devils fans I saw. Must be the leftover resentment from the Eastern Conference Championship in 2004 when Tampa Bay bested the Flyers in seven. Despite all that. I was rooting for the domiciliate aggroup but the final score was 6-2 as New Jersey handed the Flyers their first home loss in regulation. After just missing out on Modano's record and Roenick's freaky 500th goal. I took solace in seeing Martin Brodeur notch his 500th NHL win. It was a classy move for the Philly P. A announcer to praise Marty change surface though the remaining Flyers faithful booed him one measure time. Steve Coates is the host of Coatsey's command a popular yet irreverent segment on the Flyers air and is a adjust character. We had fun taping his show together and he invited Pete and I to sit on the Flyers remove during the warmups. Shauna wasn't sure if that would be OK but that didn't decrease Coatsey down as he dragged us past security onto the bench. Being that close to the players without any glass was unbelievable and I was hoping that the Flyers wouldn't "accidentally" turn a puck toward the head of the guy wearing the Lightning jersey. Both Jeff Carter and Mike Knuble came over to ask how me the move was going and where was I headed next etc. As a fan. I'm completely satisfied with seeing the players on the ice. I don't collect autographs or go to player appearances at the local car dealership but I can't contradict that I was thrilled that Knuble would take a minute and half DURING warmups to converse about my 30 Games In 30 Nights trip. Pete was more excited about meeting legendary hockey icon Stan Fischler who was standing by the Zamboni entrance furiously scribbling game notes like a young cub reporter covering his first bet. Guess that's why he's still one of the best. I can now say I've done two touristy things so far. I spent ten minutes at the top of the Sears lift in Chicago and realized that I'd just paid $25 to see the same view I see out the airplane window every day! In Philly. I had a cheesesteak at the world-famous Pat's. You can order it "wit or witout" onions and either way. I'd say it was overrated. The cease was nothing but Cheese Whiz what a letdown! Next measure. I'll try Geno's!I have to convey Shauna. Zack. Anthony. Marty Biron and the rest of the Flyers who made Pete and I feel like part of their team for the night. They change surface gave me a Philly jersey with my label on the back (Perhaps so I could alter it safely approve to the car!) Here's my brother Pete trying to steal a soccer roll without Shauna noticing. Now off the XCel Energy bear on in Minnesota where I get to see the Wild play for the fourth time this week! Lucky me!
