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.

Seriously? Is that you COVA in disguise? 
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 to be had at all today!

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.

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...
