Uggggh! Just got home from watching the Flyers go down 0-3 to the Pens in the Conference Finals. I went with my dad and we had a good time basically, pretty much until the game started. The Flyers didn't come out with the jump I thought they needed. 5 minutes in Pittsburgh went up 1-0 and a couple minutes later it was already over....they were up 2-0 and the Flyers weren't showing any signs of life.
Before the game we took our turn at the dunk tank - I dunked the Penguin in 2 shots. Then we went over and shot on a Penguin goalie. He was pretty decent, shut out my dad and me both the first time around. Then we got back in line and he shut my dad down again. I stepped up and put a wrister low to the stick side and then on my final shot I backed up a couple steps and let one rip to the same spot - low stick side for a 2-0 victory over my dad. I ALMOST rode a mechanical bull. I gave my dad a multitude of excuses why I didn't do it. Right by the mechanical bull we saw Chris Therien, Al Morganti and Steve Coates. If I only had a marker!!!! I didn't get a sinlge autograph. Last time we were down - Game 3 of the Washington series, I was able to get autographs from Bernie Paretn, Gary Dornhoeffer and Bob Kelly. Not a very fun night in hindsight. They had a good run, they're banged up on the blueline, they've abused Kate Smith. Like Hillary Clinton is saying, it's not over till it's over. But I think it's close.
