I'm a last minute 'in' for dinner!^

Wait a minute...we have to get tickets at the Ritz? I thought it was at the actual location of the Game?

and uh Chiffy...text me and I could arrange a pick up but 12pm is too damn close...

Yeah, I set a pickup locale that is convenient to the majority thanks to the large number of folks staying in the Penn Square/City Hall area.

PM Me your # and yeah, you know I gotta make a grand entrance :D

Can we pick our ticket up at the Arena? We're leaving Jerzey at 9am so not factoring for traffic and et cetera...I would appreciate it very much...Miss USA18DCA is already giving me a headache about driving 2.5 hours south :rolleyes: .

i love to go
 

love to go :)

Seriously? Is that you COVA in disguise? :D

I'd like to thank CM for organizing such a fun DO! The Devils won so hell didn't freeze over in Philly just yet!

Have a good flight back to SF SFOGate and It was a pleasure to meet everyone, the Missus had an excellent time and there was no :rolleyes: to be had at all today!

I also wondered if it was COVA :D

I had a great time as well meeting more members of the Box. Both at the Hockey game, at the Hyatt Suite and at MWG's house celebrating her birthday. I literally JUST got home from it all. :D

Thanks for coming out, everyone. I had a great time, aided in no small part by the lights-out play of Johan Hedberg. Food and company were great, and I promise next time I'll know my subway and stadium entrances and exits better. :o

Thanks again CM.

But LOL...to your credit, we did not get lost; and no one was left behind!

Myself (and possibly gbryan84) were sad that we did not get to see a fight.

Fighting is a piece of hockey, and if you want to see out-and-out violence masquerading as hockey you would be best served by going to a Philadelphia-Pittsburgh or a Philadelphia-Ottawa game. Both would be excellent choices if you want to see blood on the ice and sit through numerous delays of the game thanks to referees having to sort out multiple players earning multiple penalties at the same time. Philly and Ottawa combined to set the NHL record for most penalty minutes issued in a single game...IIRC it was north of 500. When you pause to consider that penalties are handed out in two, five, and ten minute increments to individuals...

wow...500 minutes!! that must be a heck of a rivalry.

I was distraught!
