His new buddy who sat next to him, "GothCanes", just couldn't understand why they were booing Orpik every time he touched the puck. His main focus in life was to scream "Let's Go Canes", which was roundly ignored with the exception of the 5 year old girl.<br /><br />I was there one time a few years ago when Flair came out on the ice during intermission. After about 5 seconds, the crowd mostly turned their back and resumed whatever they were doing.<br /><br />As I said though, the game turned after the no-goal call. If the Pens get that call, we would have had a great finish, maybe with an overtime and/or shootout finish.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517937579047958866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35318886.post-75446290514080096942006-11-13T18:44:00.000-05:002006-11-13T18:44:00.000-05:00Good recap!

Anyway, I was the guy with the Straka black jersey with the Triangle Pen logo on. I was down there at the pre-game skate and say Cairns and Roy clowning around. I think the Pens appreciated us there giving them our support.<br /><br />That game was brutal! The Canes fans are gay! The venue was ok but the sound was way too loud and Rick Flair is an ass! I traveled in the bloody rain on Sunday too and was lucky to get home alive.<br /><br />One thing that stood out as completely ridiculous is the Canes Fans booing/Cheering Jordan Staal when he broke his stick on a shot with a few seconds remaining. I mean they were up 6-2 and were giving the game by the refs and they have the nerve to boo their golden boys brother that is only 18 on a shot that didn't mean squat!?!?!!? Pathetic fans!Rychsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222703537653993695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35318886.post-31803831172184891532006-11-13T16:07:00.000-05:002006-11-13T16:07:00.000-05:00That guy was on crack...

Let me add a few things. The Pens didn't get the benefit of any doubt last night. It was freakin' ridiculous. Thibault sucks...period. I don't think he gets fooled...I just think he sucks. When you get beat gloveside by a wrister going about 5 MPH, it's time to call it a day.<br /><br />Jordan Staal was a non-factor for whatever reason, that ended with a slapshot late in the game in which he broke his stick on the ice...embarassing.<br /><br />I despise fans of hockey that really have no clue what's going on. For example, when GothCanes fan sitting next to me said, "Why are thy booing?" and I said, "Well, it's because he checked Cole." He said, "Aren't they supposed to?" I said, "Um, don't you remember when Cole got hurt last year?" He said, "Oh, HE DID IT!" I said, "Yeah..."<br /><br />From that on, he booed, as though he knew it all along. My right ear drum is still ringing from his "Let's go Canes" chants. He tried about 10 times to start the chant. The only one that followed was a five year old girl behind us. Nice job GothCanes fan. Try not to take a gun to school...mmK?<br /><br />The Pens have some scrappy players, and it was nice seeing Malkin and Crosby together on the Power Play, and Malkin on the PK. He's going to be special...pojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11681568940540039916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35318886.post-70222396158566027602006-11-12T17:53:00.000-05:002006-11-12T17:53:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517937579047958866noreply@blogger.com
