^^Ahem, it will be in New Jersey. :glasses: Lol some guy I follow on Twitter made a good post earlier today. He said that everyone thinks the Super Bowl and Statue of Liberty are in New York, and everyone thinks the cast of Jersey Shore is from New Jersey. We can't catch a break!

You could play the game on the North Pole and the stadium would still be sold out and tickets would be going for thousands of dollars. I don't think the location of the game will change a thing.

People are going to watch no matter where it is played. Non-football fans, of all people, care the least where the game is played. If they are tuning in for the commercials or half time show, I doubt they care what the wind conditions are, or how difficult a time the quarterback is having throwing the ball, etc.

Paul Hoover surprisingly cleared waivers, which is a huge deal IMO (as I mentioned before). Also, mark your calendars. Roy Halladay vs. Josh Johnson on Saturday.

Jesus, Brian Boucher recovered quickly. He will probably be backing up Leighton for this series.

And if we get another New Jersey winter in 2014 anything like last year's, it's probably 50/50 as to if there will be 20 inches of snow on the ground or if it will be 75 and sunny.

Here is to hoping we don't face another knuckleballer this year...

Yeah Rosales FLIES around the bases.

Yeah. Don't waste your time with it.

Nah I'd only boo him if he was a native South Philadelphian.

I have a feeling I will hate Dustin Byfuglien by the 1st intermission of game 1.

It is about time a northern non-dome/retractable roof gets a Super Bowl.

Well, I wouldn't say the Flyers struggled against the Bruins. I thought they dominated that series despite the fact that it went 7. Also, a couple interesting side-stories in this series. Patrick Kane was the first overall pick the year the Flyers had by far the worst record in the NHL but wound up losing the lottery (ala the 2010 New Jersey Nets). Also, lets not forget the Flyers literally giving Patrick Sharp to the Blackhawks a couple years ago (I think we got Matt Ellison, some plug who never played in the NHL here). Also, Michael Leighton was originally a Blackhawks draft pick. I am probably missing a few.

Lulz.

Well, I wouldn't say the NHL playoffs are "more marketable" than the NBA playoffs because in this country there are way more NBA fans and their postseason will always have higher ratings regardless. However, I agree that the NHL postseason is by far the best in sports, and I think most people who are fans of both the NBA and NHL agree.

Would have loved to have been there....I live on a budget, though.

Apparently I need to get out more, but HHH is registered on 2 sports forums and doesn't even like sports! But really, keep trolling jagov.....I DON'T CARE TONIGHT! EASTERN CONFERENCE MOTHER[expletive]IN CHAMPIONS!!! WOOO!!!

Never have been prouder to be a Flyers fan. What a [expletive]ing run.

[expletive] YES!!!!

I am going to read every review possible and then re-watch the finale. Actually, I plan on watching the entire series again this summer if I can.

Brian Schneider activated from DL and Paul Hoover designated for assignment. Kind of sucks because I am guessing he won't clear waivers since there are a bunch of teams in the market for a backup catcher. The Phillies have absolutely no catching depth so losing him will kind of suck.

Well, the Flyers may be the "dirtiest team in the league", but at least they are only [expletive] holes on the ice, and they don't have all around pieces of [expletive] like Scott Gomez on the roster. http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/flyers/20100524_Canadiens_sharpen_stories_about_Flyers__skate_issues.html#axzz0os6xRaAA As for tonight, same lineup as game 4. Dan Carcillo will sit again.

Well, he's been as good as he's needed to be. I don't think he's been tested that much yet, but he has made the saves he's needed to make which is all that can be asked of him.
