Someone I knew had an extra ticket, and so I went to see one in the late 1990's.

I sat down, looked around, and thought, "How is it even possible in Philadelphia to assemble a crowd that looks like this?"

The game was exciting and fast moving, etc., but the crowd was really freaking me out. I've seen a lot of crowds for a lot of things in Philly - including the Mummer's Parade, which has historically been pretty darn white - but I'd never seen anything like a Flyers game before or since.

And as I was looking around in awestruck wonder, I kept looking to see if anyone was looking around the same way, and everyone was just acting like this was normal. It was like being in a zombie movie and realizing that you are sitting undetected in the middle of a crowd of zombies.

Don't play Oh, Canada on American soil!!!! Cut their VISAS! Only American Hockey players can play on American teams!

Maybe I better shut up and not give the Dotart any ideas.

that the team captain isn't American.

Or Russian.

What a petty baby

That should be Pleased to inform...

But I took it as he is now averse to the letter "D" because it connotes "Dotard". He'll need to legally change his first name. Maybe "Ronald" for his favorite clown?
