My prayers have been answered (sort of)

I.can't.believe.it. It's not pink. It's in real team colors.

My parents are the greatest ever. They fully support me in my little foibles and major obsessions. Mom mentioned maybe getting me something Flyer-ish for a present. (I smell Christmas!)

Mom: Although this is promising, don't buy it for me just yet. Because...

NHL merchandisers: I knew you weren't totally lacking in functional brain cells. But...screen printed?

C'mon, give me a real sweater! Quit flirting with separating me from my hard-earned $$. I'm begging you to let me give...it...to...you!

But in return, I want the real thing.

I mean, a girl's gotta have standards, right?

Leaving no hot dog un-turned: AYCE hockey?

Kristin at eager to go psycho detailed some of the issues related to potential ring-around-the-rosie games awaiting (unfortunate) ticket holders that will surround the former goalie judge seats.

Feeling left out because you can't afford that? Don't worry, Comcast-Spectacor at the Wachovia Center is taking care of you.

A limited number of "All-You-Can-Eat" tickets will be sold for the Flyers' 41 home games. That's right, for an extra $20 - 40, depending on where you normally sit in the cheap seats, fans will be making unlimited trips to two concession stands for up to four of the following each time:

• hot dogs
• soft drinks
• popcorn
• nachos with cheese and salsa

Staff say they're "always looking for new ways to enhance our fans overall experience when they attend an event" and that ayce was a suggestion they received.

While I'm in favor of not having to bleed $$ every time I need or want to eat something at a sporting event, be warned - I will cross-check you if you (a) make me get out of your way too many times or (b) you spill anything on me.

Well, you know, unless you bring me back a soft drink, hot dog and nachos with cheese until I cry uncle.
