Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01	Ok, it starts out like any other Ranger-Flyer confrontation. Six fights and 112 penalty minutes in the first 2 periods. Then, during the second intermission, they begin to broadcast President Bush's address on the scoreboard. So far so good. Then it starts to get weird. NYC Mayor Giuliani gets mentioned along with NY Governor Pataki and gets applause and cheers from the FUC crowd! Ok, maybe with everyting going on, we can let that one slide. But then, the 3rd period is about to begin, and they take the address off. The crowd boos and demands for it to be put back! So they put it back on, and the crowd, and both teams on the ice, watch the entire address. Then the final bizarro world act of the night, after the address the crowd breaks into USA USA chants and generally cheers the address. Then the Flyers, and the hated Rangers, decide to call it a night after two periods, shaking hands in the middle of the ice and going home!! WTF!! In seriousness, though, an amazing story about where we are as a country right now. Bravo Philly. James John Maceiko Jr. United States Citizen Resident of New York City, Manhattan

O&A Board Regular Registered: Mar. 01	even Flyer fans, as bad as they are, are americans, and they showed a side to themselves i don't think anyone has ever seen. i'll never do this again, but Bravo, Philadelphia. Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will shepherd the weak through the valley of darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00	I love to bash Flyer fans. But I have to give them credit for the class they showed last night. "Cry havoc...and let slip the dogs of war!"
