I'll be at this game as well. We're flying from Philly to Raleigh that morning and staying over. Should be a great time.

I'll be at the game in Columbus.

I don't know how many other Flyers fans will be there though.

i'll be there. flying to chicago for the game on 12-26, then flying from chicago to c-bus in the morning of 12-27 for the game there

I think dube on here is going to Columbus, as well.

Count me in for the games in DC. Living down here makes the Flyers arrival a twice annual holiday!

I will be at both games in DC as well

What is the Verizon like?

I may go, not to see the Flyers, but as I'll be in DC for a couple of days, they are playing the Pens and I'm staying really close by.

It's a nice venue...we usually get really decent seats in the lower level; I've never sat more than a few rows behind the glass and have never sat in the upper levels at Verizon. I think the pens-caps game would be a decent game to catch (other than philly). Capitals fans are difinitely not my favorite fans to watch the game with...most are not very knowledgeable about hockey and that can be a bit irritating. However, I'm pretty sure they don't like Crosby and co., they should be pretty pumped, loud and obnoxious...plus you'll get to see Brashear Caps fans are okay, but they get pretty quiet if they are not winning, so hopefully they will have reason to cheer.

If I was in DC and staying close by, I would definitely try to get some tickets just to see Ovechkin go after Malkin and/or Crosby a few times, but I can always catch it on the tele. Let me know if you need more specific info about Verizon...

Edited to include: I have to agree with DC games having a great Flyers fan turnout...

Disclaimer: my comments are my opinions and mean no offense to any caps fans, just my experience at the verizon center

I thought the Pens and Caps would be a good one to watch! I have tickets to see the Caps in Philly, but the only ones available for the Pens game are the $50 + additional fees.

Thanks for the info

I'll be there, too.

Possibly catching this one, trying to schedule it. I do know a couple people that I met at the Montreal game said they were going to this as well. I think I read that Dancin' Shawnie was trying to make this one too! Sounds like there could be a good pre game in the making!! When I find out if I can make the game I will try to organize somewhere for some pregame beers!! I'll keep you guys posted!

That'd be cool. I hope the Flyers will have a large presence! I'm going with my friend who's a Blue Jackets fan.. He's been trash talking me ever since I got the tickets!

Hotel BOOKED! Tix on the way! Columbus here we come! There's a place called 'R BAR Arena' on Front St. I tried the website and it says they are moving locations could be a great place to pre game. It says the bar is owned by hockey fans and has a "great hockey atmosphere!" I will try to contact them soon to see if they are open yet. CALLING ALL FLYERS FANS GOING TO THE COLUMBUS GAME!!

Alright sounds good and I'll def be there!

dont worry about contacting the R bar people. go to hfboards.com. there is a subforum for the blue jackets (there is one for every team). in the blue jackets subforum there is a thread for "visiting columbus". the owner of the R bar is constantly unpdating the progress. I guess it would be easier if I just posted the link huh?

http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=496242

lots of good travel info in there

Also, since I only live like 45 minutes from Columbus I can go up there and find some good places..

One week left until the Flyers are in Columbus!!(Me Too!) Anyone hear of any other fans making the trip to Ohio?? I will be contacting that bar this week as we get closer to the game, from what I hear it may be open by then. Thanx for the link slitz. As soon as I know where I will post a gathering point for pre-game beers. If you can't make pre-game I think we should gather on the concourse at section 120 before the game! (safety in numbers! LOL!!) Any other suggestions feel free. See ya Saturday!!

didja like todays game capsy?

Goin to the Garden on March 15th - Sunday afternoon Game on NBC

This will be incredible - my first visit to MSG.

Not to mention - the Flyers play the Rags at HOME the day before (Sat afternoon at 1) making it the second part of a home and home.


I was at Verizon Center a few years ago and that was 'blah'. Simply boring. I just got my authentic Richards orange retro jersey and can't wait to wear it in the big apple. The Flyers Fan Club is also going to this game so I'm sure there will be a lot of orange in the crowd.

Goin to the Garden on March 15th - Sunday afternoon Game on NBC

There is 'supposed' to be a group from this Forum going to at least one the Sunday games @ MSG, maybe both, myself included ...

*February 15th and The Ides of March

2nd game is probably best for weather reasons, but I may consider doing both anyway.

I'm really hoping to make the pre-game! It all depend on what the 4 people I'm going with want to do.. they're all Columbus fans! I'll def make it to the concourse though, I need to meet up with more Flyers fans

See you there!

March 1st in Newark, see ya there

March 28th on Long Island hope to see everyone!!

Hoping to get a ticket for the Leafs game at the ACC in April when they go on sale.

Anyone else?

I would love to get to a game in Toronto, although I don't think I would be going to that particular one. I may however possibly be going to that Buffalo game in March.

Go, I HAVE to meet you in newark March 1st

Could be there, not really sure yet. I generally don't plan those too far in advance.

I might go to that March 1st game at the Rock but I have to wait and see with work (and money).

I'm actually consider it...

Awesome. Might see you there then



Awesome

nice taunt mats sundin lol. i say we beat them up more this time and they don't have luongo. give mats a nice welcome back to the NHL.

Sorry guys no luck with the R BAR. I couldn't contact them but if they are open my girlfriend and I will definately be there for pregame beers, probably around 4 or so. If not then we'll see you in front of sec. 120 before the game in my new Richards 3RD!!!! GO FLYERS!!!

I'm glad I stumbled across this thread, as I have been wanting to make my own for a bus trip I am hosting, but I don't have enough posts to make threads yet. Here's the details on the trip, and I would love for some of you guys to go.

March 28th, 2009
Bus trip to Nassau Coliseum
Philadelphia Flyers @ New York Islanders

Cost Per Person - $55

The cost includes your seat on the bus up and back, your ticket for the game (on the side the Flyers shoot twice), your tip for the driver and your contribution to parking. In other words, it covers everything you will need. Food and drinks (including alcohol) are permitted on the bus but are not included.

The bus is a 56 seat charter bus. It is climate-controlled with reclining bucket seats, high-definition TVs showing Flyers DVDs and a bathroom.

Bus will depart NE Philadelphia at 3:30 PM. Game starts at 7 PM. You can expect to be back in Philadelphia around midnight.

The tickets are in section 338 and 339. If you would like to go on the trip but want nicer seats, I would be able to upgrade you. Alternatively, if you were planning on going to this game and want me to get you tickets anywhere in the arena at the group discount (which is pretty hefty) I can do that as well.

I just want to fill up the Coliseum with as much Orange and Black that I possibly can that day.

I saw this on Facebook and was considering it.

You gonna come all the way down from Toronto?

I will be in Philly from March 5th to March 15th, not 100% sure I will be still there by the 28th though.

Hey guys how are you all doing, sorry i haven't been on in a while, all this traveling is making me crazy, we got back from ohio this morning instead of going straight to vancouver, we came home to go to the birds game (and what a heck of a game it was) now were on our way to vancouver but we have to stop in seattle, i hope our boys can start picking up some wins. Get better Kimmo, Harts, and Carle too.

Wow, a lot of travelling going on there. Have fun

well chicago was ok. weather was crappy, but thats expected. went to a cool hockey bar a few blocks from the rink

columbus was great. i encourage all of you hockey travelers to go there next time philly is there. great time

What's the two cities like?

We are going to the vancouver game. What other members are going and would anyone like to meet up somewhere?

What is the bar called? I went to a game at the United Center before but it was before I was 21 so I was probably not searching out spots to check out. I do plan on returning there for a game next year and I would like to see what it's like then.

There was a pretty cool hockey bar right near the Joe Louis Arena when I went out there to see the Flyers battle the Red Wings. It was either called "The Post" or "The Hockey Post." I can't remember.

Ill be there

Thanks for the tip. I will be checking this out next season.

Anyone interested in going to the Capitals game on the 6th? There's a block of 10 tickets on StubHub for $37 each, or they go as low as $25 each for smaller quantities.

I'm looking to come back the same night.

If there was a group of people who wanted to carpool, it would be a pretty cheap trip.

Hey guys just arrived here in LA and it is BEAUTIFUL out here. This is my first time in California and I don't wanna go back home haha. Left Philly and it was 20 degrees, its 70 out here just a very relaxed feel to the whole entire city, completely different from Philly.

Anyone going to be at the Anaheim or Kings game out here?
