JessLovesColdplay Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 That really sucks. I'm sorry. :( But look on the bright side' date=' you still have the rest of the team. :)[/quote'] really sucks? or... is really cool? :P Ha ha! I didn't even realize. Ooh, 40 minutes to go until the game. Now if you want to see the craziest hockey fans in the league, you should watch a little bit of the Oilers/Stars game. We're going to bring down the house in Edmonton! My prediction is 4-3 for the Oilers. Let's see if I'm right again. *crosses fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 oh i've been to some crazy flyers games. not recently, because they've raised ticket prices so high that ordinary fans can't afford to go to games anymore (including me). but before that... and especially back in the spectrum before we got the FU center... yeah that could get pretty crazy sometimes.

JessLovesColdplay Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Ha ha ha! Did you say 'FU center'? I'm assuming it's an abbreviation but it still sounds funny. We've had the same bloody arena since the franchise started. There are a lot of good memories in that place. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 hehe yeah it's the First Union center. that was the joke, when they first named it that (it used to be the Corestate Center but Corestate merged with First Union bank so they changed the name) that it was so perfect for Philadelphia. you know, us being the worst fans in the world and all :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessLovesColdplay Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Well, at least they knew about it and it wasn't an oversight. Our arena used to be called The Coliseum because it looks like the Coliseum in Italy. Now it's called Skyreach Center after a construction company. Go figure! :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 yep. not many places around anymore with real names. i think my favorite ridiculous-sounding corporate sponsor name is the National Car Rental Center in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessLovesColdplay Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Yeah, that does sounds pretty bad. I think my favorite would have to be Toronto's Air Canada Center. Air Canada is quickly going out of business here in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 hehe so it might not be that for long... well the Houston Astros used to play at Enron Field until last year. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessLovesColdplay Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 8 minutes to go. This better be a good game because I'm sacrificing precious studying time just so I can watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 hehe maybe you should have studied before the game during the time you spend on this message board. ;) the bruins are leading the devils 3-0 tonight. staying alive...

JessLovesColdplay Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Nah, I timed everything out correctly. I studied for about 9 or so hours today. I'll just study late into the evening and get up early tomorrow and study some more. Study. Study. Study. That's all I ever do anymore. I haven't been out of my house in....... *counts fingers* .... 4 days! I don't even know what day it is anymore. It's Tuesday, right? In any case, I'm losing my mind. But at least I have my hockey. Oh, game's on. Talk to you next time, Tom. :D Go Flyers Go! Go Leafs Go! Go [insert team here] Go! GO OILERS GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny how around playoffs time every year everyone in Toronto becomes a huge Leafs fan and drives around all decked out in Leafs stuff. Although I do like it. I also like the little boys who wear Leafs jerseys :) GO LEAFS GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
