not even Unibroue at Le Forum de Montréal??
- Marc D



the old forum has a big sports bar in it but they definitely don't sell anything even remotely close to unibroue. the bell centre had molson's and garbage like that. i got white wine at a hockey game, that's how bad the beer selection was.

i even hit some small bars around town on my own this last trip to montreal, hoping to find some unibroue types i haven't been able to get here, and i couldn't find it for sale ANYWHERE. very disappointing.

Were they banned 2 seasons ago, cause thats when it happened to me...
- RooNosHockey

Banned after the last World Cup when people got all jazzed up on them and U.S. teams realized what a disaster they could be. The playoff season before that the Flyers actually sold them.

Down.. and my fiance doesnt complain to me so long as I do three things (putting the seat down is one of them).

1- Seat down
2-Take out the trash
3- make sure my stuff isnt laying around.

I have a pretty sweet man cave in my new house (and @24 its my pride and joy) where I have my Xbox360 and Beermeister.. she doesnt bother me unless 1-3 are being violated.

- jak521


I would never leave that "cave". I have a two year old daughter so its hard to always watch the game, Flyers or Fresh Beat Band/Dora the Explorer? You probably know what she picks all the time. Im trying to force the Flyers on her, have to do a better job.

I have been very fortunate in life.. My fiance grew up in a "Flyers-Phillies" house. Her brother is now on my team. She is a huge Flyers fan so I have a game buddy every time.. in fact we were on TV a few years ago while at a Flyer-Pens game.. she was loving me heckling Crosby (who she HATES).

My one complaint is that she doesnt like when I watch OTF...

Nashville isnt a big market. The management is saying all the right things but there is noway they can sign Weber, Suter, and Rinne to huge contracts and expect to compete. Where are they going to be able to afford offense at? They wont have any cash to upgrade that area unless they find hidden gems from draft picks, which could take years. I dont know if they will trade Suter bc they will be in the playoffs, but they have to seriously consider it bc their going to get nothing for him at the end of the year. Nashville needs to make that trade to keep themselves afloat with talent, their not going to spend big money in the UFA market.
- stveshdy


I have to agree with you. That team has drafted well at the D position for a while now. But they let Franson go. I suppose they have Ellis and Blum coming on though. I'm sure they move Suter for a couple of roster forwards and try to keep Weber and Rinne as you suggested.

Oh man you're lucky... My "wife" hates when i take over the big screen for some Skyrim or NHL hockey on ps3...

SHe also hates when i leave dishes in the sink... or play on the computer...

Or talk about the Flyers...

- archion113

My wife is a Flyers season-ticket holder. My mom introduced us at a Flyers game 2 years after my first wife died.

We share the TV for Xbox (she plays Skyrim, Fallout games, and even NHL 12 in both HUT and Be a Pro modes). We both leave dishes in the sink and put them in the dishwasher when there's a smell or they overlap the top of the sinkwell.

She shares her laptop with me, allowing me to post here or on Twitter while watching Flyers games together.

I thank God every day and every night.

You know, when I was a little girl there was one tv. And dad's downtime was precious, so he got to decide what was on when he sat down. And we were so desperate to spend time with dad that whatever he watched became our favorite thing.

And I've always been leery of guys who complain about demanding significant others. They did actually meet the woman before they got married/engaged, right?

Please use the Contact Us feature on the Flyers site and let them know. I swear they think I'm the only one who cares. It is better than it was early in the season, but the guy with the volume control went to Gallaudet.
- bodiva88



I've contacted Tilger myself through email. They will do what they want to do, as much as they say they are for the fans, all they care about is the money. they know just like the Eagles they have a stable fan base, even if they leave with 10 left in the 3rd period.
The dancing didn't dance last night, i wish i was there to not see it. Classic!!! I think he's a waste...i would rather see a web cam dance feature. It's been played out and generally people are laughing at him. This is from a diehard old school fan.
But really all each team really cares about is $$$

Oh, wow, do I understand that! I have the same issue. Now (frankin) Diego is on at 8:30, so by the time that is over a normal 7:10 start time game is already in the third period.

I feel your pain, sir.

I noticed at the last game I attended that the volume was up again.
