Already booked hotel and tix for Nov. 15th in Montreal! 8 hour drive from S.Jersey! (Down The Shore!!) Is it almost October???
** Post Game Update**
Got to Montreal Friday around 12:30 p.m. checked in
left to find Bell Center and walked around to a few different pubs.
around 6 p.m. at a place called "Grumpy's" I was surprised to see someone else walk in(5 people inside including my girlfriend and I).
** jaw dropping** Chris Therien ex Flyer, radio announcer extraordinaire sits two stools down.
After a few mins I get the oppurtunity to say "Hey." (busy making plans with Coatsey on the phone.)
I tell him we drove from South Jersey for the game and he replies" That's really cool, I hope you guys have fun and get to see a win."
We chatted for a bit and he say's "I can't promise but if you guys give me your names I'll see if they will let you in to the morning skate."
I scribbled names on a bar napkin and handed it over. He left to meet up with the guys and we were psyched.
next morning we get up and goto the Bell Center to see if we can get in. Laughing, the security guy says "Yeah he left your names," and hands us the same napkin back.
"Hold on and I'll get you passes."
Needless to say practice was AWESOME front row. After practice we get to see the guys coming out of the locker room to the bus. Great Pics, Great time and we still get to go to the game!
Game was great Flyers 2 Habs 1.
Thank you to a real class guy for rewarding two loyal fans with the experience of a life time. Its nice to have met such a cool guy, have a few beers and talk hockey! There is no other professional sport where I think this would happen. Class act all the way!!
GO FLYERS!!!!
