She should make the circuit!

Dallas would love her, I'm sure!

[kesg]

Go Rangers! I never thought I would ever say that in my entire life, but for this game I’m making an exception.

Islanders won in 1980— Flyers won Cup twice, the seasons of 1973/74 and 1974/75. ;)

“Didn’t the Philles win in 1980?

That’s their last championship, I think.”

Try only championship (WS), and Pete Rose doesn’t get the credit he deserves.

First fight! Rupp and Goddard!

Pens Goddard drops Rupp! 5 for fighting! Woo hoo!

I love this game! Even though 1/3 of the team are new players.

Sounded like an equal mix of cheers and boos.

That is encouraging since Philly is a hot bed of liberals--you hear them ranting about Bush on the sports talk radio shows

[airborne]

I was including all Philly teams. Only one championship from all 4 sports! LOL!

No wonder the fans are so miserable!!

You know your team sucks when you’re talking about politics on the sports channel!

THere was a story posted here the other day about this. Apparently the Flyers’ owner is a hugh McCain/Palin booster.

The MSM story groaned that there was nothing the NHL could/would do to deter Gov Palin’s appearance. Real sob story.

[scott says]

Pens are the team to beat in the East this year, no doubt.
Montreal has extra motivation this year- 100th year as a team.
I hope they can get past the second round for the first time in 15 years! Rough patch for my team—
Pens are a great team-—hope to meet up in the East Finals!

1983 Sixers was the City’s last championship.

IMHO, “Charlie Hustle” got a raw deal.

Too bad he wasn’t a black drug dealer. He’d have a statue in front of city hall.

[kesg]

Thanks much!

[scott says]

I know- well maybe the Phillies will do it this year—I do not really follow baseball much. The Eagles had some great teams in the 90’s but could never get it done.

But it was OK when Kerry tried to throw out the first pitch at the Red Sox game in 2004

[Canedawg]

4-0 Rangers

If it’s any consolation, they were booing the Flyers as the first period ended. LOL

Philly fans boo like we breathe.

[airborne]

You are correct! How could I forget about Dr. J?
