Sweet, how did you get tickets? My brother splits a Flyers season ticket with someone, he has 3 separate Phillies 17 game packages and ended up with no tickets to the Winter Classic! Hopefully the weather is cold enough to keep the ice in good shape.

band77one 12-24-2011 12:28 PM

stubhub has like 3000 somethin tickets for sale lol

band77one 12-24-2011 12:29 PM

Yea, this alumni game is good to watch. Half these guys retired before i was born or understood the game of hockey ...

BigAls87Z28 12-31-2011 04:11 PM

Is this like a figure skating competition?

JL8Jeff 12-31-2011 05:43 PM

That was pretty cool to watch some of the older guys get out there. My brother did end up getting the ticket to today's game, the Classic and I think their is a game Friday as well. He got them for the season ticketholder price so it wasn't that bad at all.

band77one 12-31-2011 08:23 PM

yea the phantoms and hershey play friday night at CBP too

Slow-V6 12-31-2011 11:06 PM

Lindros and Leclair looked pretty good out there..

Frosty 01-01-2012 09:05 AM

The alumni game was fun to watch...it was awesome to see the old greats from both teams out there playing....definitely awesome.

It sucks I'm working tomorrow....I'll DVR the game.

I went to the past two winter classics, Boston and then Pittsburgh. Both were fun, but the novelty wore off for me. It's always freezing cold and you can't see the puck unless you are in the nosebleed seats with binoculars.

If the devils were playing, I would consider going though so I hope you have fun watching your team.

Frosty 01-02-2012 09:07 PM

What a great game. It sucks the scumbag Rangers scored two cheese goals but that's the way it goes. Awesome game.

Now back to my fantasy hockey domination.

JL8Jeff 01-02-2012 09:59 PM

Flyers got sloppy once again and it cost them the game. The refs tried to bail them out, but they couldn't even take advantage of that. It was a good game and probably one of the more "normal" games compared to the other einter classics considering it was outside. Last year the rain slowed it down and in Boston the ice was slow. In Buffalo the snow slowed it down, but I guess that's the interesting part of playing the game outside.

WayFast84 01-03-2012 03:40 AM

The refs called a fair game. I thought the camera angle was horrible. For the fans sake they need to have clear boards and digitizedl the sponsors like the rangers do behind the net at msg.

What?

band77one 01-03-2012 09:56 AM

the flyers also do digitized advertising, when they play indoors. you know the other 81 games during the season plus playoffs lol.

WayFast84 01-03-2012 01:31 PM

I don't know about them I live in north/central and only get msg network. Bill, they pretty much put a subway logo behind The net on the glass.

No they didn't :rofl: They tried handing the Flyers the 3rd goal so the game would go into OT...and yes I'm a die hard Flyers fan saying this. I'm really disappointed in the NHL for doing that.

WayFast84 01-03-2012 10:12 PM

Are you serious? The call for a penalty shot is clear cut. You also can't hold a players stick(when a ranger went around a flyer center ice for the empty netter). I said it before, the flyers did nothing by signing a 31 year old goalie for 9 years. Goaltending won the game for the rangers(like it always has) and lost it for the flyers.

Any other "bad" calls I missed?

Frosty 01-04-2012 05:25 AM

I've seen the Callahan/Timonen scenario a hundred times and it's RARELY called for hooking and diving...especially in that situation. I guarantee you had that been a regular run of the mill game it would have been a hooking call only.

It was clear cut that the puck was covered up by a glove? I watched the video a bunch of times and didn't see any clear cut evidence that he clearly put his glove over the puck.

How about the blatant hook on Gaborik on the break away...again that's been called for the last 3+ years but was let go. He clearly had his stick in Gaborik's midsection.

Remember, I'm a die hard Flyers fan...it kills me to even side with the douche bag Rangers...but it was pretty obvious what the NHL was trying to do.

As far as signing Bryz...you do realize Bob was in net right?

WayFast84 01-04-2012 08:59 AM

You can't cover the puck up like that in an oh **** situation, I've been playing for years and have even been called for it and had to watch my goalie get absolutely wrecked because of it.

Gaborik also got the shot off pretty cleanly.

Bob was in net? I had no idea captain obvious. Obviously Bob is a back up to your newly acquired supershakey goalie and they started bob because bryz is a mental case and has no confidence. Oh well have fun with his cap hit for 9 years!!
