I Was In Philly

For the game last night.

I attended and sat in the stands with a good friend. I paid a visit to Ed Snider, owner of the Flyers and his family. I visited with my son and his friends from U Penn who also attended the game.

The Flyers fans were very nice to me. I sat in row B. There was some mild trash talk but overall the experience of sitting in the stands with the fans was a lot of fun. There were several Caps fans sitting near me. Thank you for being so supportive and protective as well. Go Caps!

We played a very good game last night. Very tight defense with no penalties to speak of and no power plays either.

We came back from a 2-0 deficit in the third period and tied the game to grab a standings point. We lost in OT but I thought the game was well played at a high tempo. We are short-handed on offense and our coach did a great job in utilizing all of our players in a creative fashion within the new system. It was great to see Alex Ovechkin score, too, basically right in front of our seats.

We played a good game on the road against the team with the best record in the NHL. Onward.
