Hockey is my #1 passion. I've grown up going to games all my life, I worked at a hockey rink, and I even started to play when I was younger. I'm that crazy fan who has the hockey tattoo on her leg and wears it proudly. If you read my last post, you saw that I'm a Flyers fan. For those of you who don't know much about hockey... Flyers fans are known to be the worst in the league. We are absolutely brutal.
I went to my first hockey game in Philly some years ago with my Father. It was actually for an AHL game though, so you figure it wouldn't be as bad. The team that plays here in Norfolk was playing against Philly in a playoff game so we decided to go. Mind you, neither of us had been to a game in Philly before. We were there to support our team... so what did we do? We wore our teams jerseys. We quickly found out that was a huge mistake. We got opened ketchup packets thrown at us, beer thrown at us, cursed out, and any other horrible thing that could happen. And that's where my love for Philadelphia blossomed.
I know you're probably thinking I'm a crazy person. But to me I saw an arena full of people who cared passionately for their team. If you wore anything Philly, you were accepted. But god forbid you wore nothing sports related or a different teams stuff... they were literally going to kill you.
I am a very intense hockey fan. Nothing comes between me and my hockey.... except this lock out. Come on guys, let's get it together. While the owners and players feud...the die hard fans, like me, are about to pull our hair out. Want to know why they are feuding? There's $1 billion extra in revenue and they are trying to decide who gets the cut of it! Come on now! How about you just shut up and play hockey! I end up going to Philly for hockey at least once a season. I already had my game for this season picked out... and now they just want to crush my dreams.
If there is anything that have learned from this post... I hope it's to never go to Philly with a different teams shirt on. You won't come out alive.
