Oh Boy. I hope you are wearing a Pittsburgh T shirt today.

Wearing my FLYERS t shirt and my FLYERS flag is at my front door.

I remember when there were 6 NHL teams and none south of NYC. Now 10 of the 31 NHL teams are located below the Mason Dixon Line.  Didn’t see that coming.

They fly around on an oval, do a lot of bumping and rubbing, run the others into the wall, and hit each other with sticks. Perfect game here.

It's happening, @FISH !

My classic team of choice were the Hartford Whalers, love the look of the jersey and the team of the mid-80s was a lot of fun with Ron Francis and  Sylvain Turgeon with Mike Liut in the net. But would Whalers be considered an inappropriate name today?

@FISH  My Pens jersey and my T-shirts are all dirty and in the worsh wash basket.    Plus, unlike the stereotypical Yinzer, I don't wear that stuff 24/7.     You would never see my cousin without some sort of sports gear on though...even at a funeral.    Just sad.

@Zetaspeak  I dig the Whalers.  Playing home games in a mall always seemed weird to me.  One of my friends is from Connecticut and shared some stories about going to games.  Overall he thought it sucked.  Oh...by the way...No love for Kevin Dineen?  And no...the Whalers name is not inappropriate...I think.

How can you talk about the Whalers without at least a passing mention of Gordie Howe’s contribution during their first season?

@GravitySucks  Well then how can @Zetaspeak do the same!!???  The mid-80's team was referenced.  I was just going by my own experience of following/seeing games.  I think Gordie was gone when I started following hockey.
