All we got here today was freezing rain. And now it is starting to heat up, so there is a lot of snow from last week melting. Roads are a mess. My street is basically a lake.

Meh. The $10 tickets are nice (and the price for my season tickets is $15/ticket), but there aren't many of those. The rest are pretty overpriced. And if you show up on the day of the game and attempt to buy a ticket at the box office, they will screw you hardcore. They will say they don't have any $10 or $15 tickets available and force you to buy a much more expensive ticket, then you get inside and the entire upper level is empty.

Really hope the Flyers don't get the Lightning in the postseason. Awful matchup.

Haha, basically. Maybe I am really weird, but I love snow as long as I don't have to go anywhere. And I don't mind shoveling either. Driving in the aftermath is fine also, the problem is the other drivers who go into full-on panic/idiot mode at the first sign of snow.

But I guarantee you nobody in camp can execute the towel drill like he can.

Mark Prior!

Sounds like Chad Durbin will not be coming back. Kind of bittersweet. He's been very reliable for the past 3 years and still appears to be a solid pitcher, so it sucks in that regard. Supposedly he is looking for a multi year deal, so I am totally cool with the Phillies moving on. I could easily see Durbin turning into Chan Ho Park 2.0. The good news is that this almost certainly means Justin DeFratus will get a long look in spring training. I am incredibly excited about him.

Lol the new arena has been open for 15 years. But yes, this had to be done. Many great memories in that building but the property is too valuable.

Weekly occurrence this year. I love snow, but this is starting to get annoying. I liked it more in high school, but now that I actually need to get into the city every day, I am not a huge fan. This one hasn't hit us yet, although it is coming. It is freezing and cloudy. My car was covered in ice this morning.

Then maybe we will all leave and let you have the entire forum to yourself. Should make for some great conversation, eh?

This team becomes less likable every day.

1. MLB Opening Day 2. NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs 3. Any game I have tickets to (any sport, but in this order: MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL, followed by whatever else) 4. March Madness 5. College Bowl Season 6. MLB Playoffs 7. Winter Olympic hockey (I do not care much for any other Olympic sport, to be honest) 8. I guess the Super Bowl

Sweet. Would be a 5 game winning streak if not for that debacle on Friday.

Haha yeah we noticed that also. Pretty funny. But overall it looked like the Hurricanes did a great job hosting (most people who were there have said the same thing).

Team Lidstrom wins 11-10. Patrick Sharp is MVP.

As is Weber (with 4 assists).

Jesus Christ, Lidstrom is a +7 so far.

Wow, 3 Doors Down? When did I travel back to 1999?

Concussion. No Malkin either. Kind of refreshing to see other great players actually get face time.

Pretty cool that the players' kids are on the bench.

I am not going to lie, I thought it was pretty cool. The Anthem, though....gah. Versus on the whole sucks, though. One of the 4 or 5 biggest events of the year for the league, and it is stuck on this POS network.

Not sure why we are posting this in the ASG thread, but this is my favorite Pronger moment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJBBaOTDMcg As for the second video, whatever makes you feel better about how that season eventually ended .
