Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the Philadelphia Flyers game against the New York Islanders. The Flyers ended up winning the game 4-0 behind a three point effort by Matt Read and a stellar netminding performance from Steve Mason.
The dominant game by the Flyers wasn’t the highlight though of this particular game however, that distinction was held by the fact that this was my girlfriend’s first Flyers game.
Sure, she had said that she had went when she was younger, but that was in a box, away from the energy and passion of this fan base that can be so palpable.
