And I am going. Anyone else?

http://www.stanleycupbuckscounty.org/

Bill Clement will be there. Also maybe in attendance might be the Watson brothers, Larry Goodenough and John Leclair.

Admission says it will be cheap and $20 to get your picture taken with the Cup. Main reason I am going.
slitz
i refuse to get my picture with the cup until after they win it in my lifetime
Eggplant
Might have to go to that! (Jamison's only 30 min from me)

ohmy.gif John LeClair? I want to go sad.gif
The Rifle27
Please do not touch it.
MSP
If someone with the same name as me is already on it, can I still touch it?
slapshot
I might be able to make it. I have to work that day, but I might be done in time to see it. If not I had my picture taken with it and the Calder cup too.

i might head up there. i saw the cup once but didn't get a picture.

I'll be attending with my daughter and sister-in-law.

I was hoping someone would know more about which alumni members would be attending. Bill Clement said during the Flyers/Lightning game on Saturday that 9 alumni members would be there. Keeping my fingers crossed for Hextall.

Not to burst your bubble, but I doubt Hexy will be there. Being out in LA might make it not happen. sad.gif

Your name is Wayne Gretsky. What a weird coincidence.

Eh, I can dream can't I? I just hope LeClair comes through. Plus if I could get another couple autos toward my project, it would be well worth the drive.

Sweet! biggrin.gif

Luckily I picked up a 12 pack of pucks and a LeClair stick. Does anyone else have trouble finding pucks with the Flyers logo on them? I may have to pick more up for the game on Sunday, but I can always buy them at the game anyway.

Go Flyers!

I know i'm still a noob, but it would be nice to meet a couple boardies.

I didn't see him. No jokers with masks on. Couple of weirdos with those paper orange hats. I had a good time. My dad and I got a picture with Bill Clement and the Cup. Pretty cool. Also got Bob Kelly and the Hammer's autograph. Don Saleski was there but I didn't really want to get his autograph. One of the Watson's were there but by the time I got to Schultz and Kelly , he was up at the Cup and people were getting pics with him with it.

And yes, I did touch the Cup. Bill even told me too. I had too, I might not see it in Philly in my lifetime!!!! tongue.gif

I think I was too starstruck that Clement was right there. It was way cool though.

Thats Blaspheme! You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking that! Now go to your room and write 500 times "I Believe the Flyers will win the Cup in my Lifetime!" rolleyes.gif

Yea, you probably didn't notice him because he never shows what he looks like.

He was there but I didn't see him. Lady Neat said he was there. He had his mask. What a tool.

Wish I could have this...

Funniest thing I heard: "Do you want Bill (Clement) in the picture with you?"

Does a bear squat in the woods? Why wouldn't we want Bill in the picture with us? I thought my sis was gonna lose it when he put his arm around her and told her to put her arm around the cup.

Best thing I saw that wasn't called The Stanley Cup: While we were standing in line to get in, my sis points out someone's Flyers tat to me and I did a double take. I looked at it, looked back at my sister, and when I turned to look again, he was right next to me. lol It was Flyers written out and signatures of some of the 74-75 team. He goes to signings and asks them to sign his leg, then goes to a tattoo artist and gets them tattooed on.

Boooooooooo:

LeClair not coming until 3 and I had to leave at 2 to pick my wife up from work. BOOOOO So I bought and carried around a stick for LeClair to sign and didn't get his sig on it. But, I got The Hammer and The Hound to sign it anyway. Little yay for that, yay. lol

Watson being MIA when I finally got to the front of the autograph line. BOOOOO He was signing when I got there, but I wanted to make sure I got the pic of my daughter with the cup before I went for autographs. So, my 74-75 autograph project isn't any closer to being finished.

All in all, it was definetely worth the drive for me, regardless of the boos. My daughter actually smiled for the pictures (she has a history of not smiling for pictures) with the cup, Bob Kelly, and Dave Schultz which was great. I can't wait to get her to the Wives Carnival in February. Would have liked to have met some of the board members there, but maybe tonight at the game.

Go Flyers!

What do you look like? Odd sounding question? Because I got my pic with Clement with the Cup too.

6', stocky 290 lbs. I was wearing a pre-Reebok Forsberg jersey and a black Flyers cap and I was carrying a blue and white, LeClair model Sher-Wood hockey stick. Had a little girl in tow wearing a blank, white Flyers jersey.

Alot of people got their pic taken with Clement, it wasn't a real rare thing while I was there. He spent most of his time around the stage except when I went back to get his autograph, then I couldn't find him anywhere. lol

Bob Kelly, Dorny, Jonesy are always at Flyers games walking around. In the past, the Flyers would hang out in bars with fans. How cool would that be?
