Thoughts From Section 209, Weekend of 2/28 and 3/1/2009!

Ah I had to say something about this nice little weekend of hockey we had here (though I still contest whoever thought it was a neat idea to have back to back home matinee games on a Saturday and Sunday… he should be pistol-whipped to a near-death state… or be forced into a Weekes-like exile!!) … but when lack of sleep is all you got to bitch about…. it’s a hell of a weekend!!!

The Good:
– Me thinks Andy Greene had one HELL of a game on Sunday here (I’ve been talking about to the Greene-Machine to people I trust the hockey knowledge about…. and to be honest, people give Greene a lot of shit because he’s an average player on what looks like a VERY special team, and people don’t get it! Lyle Odelein…. HE was a bad Devil…. Ken Klee…. BAD DEVIL…. Kevin Dean… BAD DEVIL… Phil Housely… HORRID Devil…. Andy Greene… you’re ok buddy!!!!)
– MB30… what can I say… he was FINALLY tested in the Flyers game and came up big, more so in the 3rd period… and boy did he shut up the Phailure Phans en MASSE, I did like the WHY SO QUIET chant too!)… I still would have felt better if Weekes had played on Saturday… i’m paranoid… deal with it!
– 2 games and a 10-2 win margin… yeah we likey!!
– Zach Parise… man the MVParise wagon is GROWING, and those Zajac and Langenbrunner guys are pretty good too!!
– Power play and pk clicking… defense… offense… goaltending… this team seriously has it all! it’s scary to think how far this team CAN go this year…..hell even attendance is awesome (too many people in the place for MY liking :p)

the Bad:
– Cameron the shirt tossing pile of AIDS is not only still alive but it was tossing shirts on Saturday and I will not be happy until it dies savagely! (OH MY GOD I just found we pay it $2000 a game FOR THIS… fuck meeeeee)
– There was an awful lot of players falling on that blue line all weekend… I’d almost swear they greased that bastard up for the game!

the Funny:
Some highlights from the weekend:
– One of the 209ers decided to buy a ton of dollar hot dogs and share them with the section… and he did… and in mocking the 40-year old shirt tossing pedophile, he was tossing hot dogs across the section… which was awesome… until he hit an unsuspecting 8 year old in the face with one… ah screw it… it was hilarious!!!
– “The Wheels on your house goes round n round…. round n round… round n round… the wheels on your house go round n round….all the daytime long!” Ahhh… it’s been a while!
– Good God there was so much insanity and I’m kinda winded (and have a month in review to write on my snow day I’ll just say show up at Sun Tavern in Roselle Park on Tuesday Night and just JOIN IN!!!)

    I was sitting in 211 today. Have to say I enjoyed you guys’ craziness VERY much.
    “The Wheels on your house goes round n round…. round n round… round n round… the wheels on your house go round n round….all the daytime long!”
    ^ Had me crackin up with that one. And the “Turnpike South” Priceless.

    “Cameron the shirt tossing pile of AIDS” also works for the Washington Capitols from what tons of people were saying on Saturday..1 guy even said that Cameron was seen on the NHL network during a caps game….We boo’d him away from 233 and some even started a “back to wash-ing-ton” chant at him….i just sat and watched..i wanted to save my energy for the flyers today….

    They have looked really good the last three games. But seriously, Brian Gionta need to get his money back from CCM or Bauer, or whoever makes his skates. That guy cannot stop himself from falling all over the place.

    No, Greene gets ragged on because he doesn’t do anything particularly well and he does make a ton of mistakes, plus the sixth d always gets scrutinized anyway. The last couple games he’s played very well for a change, I’ve been wondering who was in his jersey lately.

    Our sections were priceless yesterday. I was wondering if one of the Flyer fans in front of me was going to start when he was whining about the ref suck chant not being funny, but he and his buddies got pretty quiet later in the game. I think they were just resigned to their fate (again)!

    Cool flyers fans? Isn’t that an oxymoron?
    The ones behind me were pretty bad. I enjoyed yelling at them to go home after the game.

    REDUCE!
    REUSE!
    RECYCLE!
    GO GREENE!

    I always liked Andy. If it weren’t for his broken hand, he might’ve rivaled Mike Green this season. A guy can dream can’t he?

    Dana, I’ve dealt with enough cousin loving r-tards in my time (and we did have a few of them too…. hence that kiss your sister chant)…but the three by us were pretty tolerable

    well except that one chick and you know this type of fun, the fan that wants to show you they are GOOD FAN by yelling the name of whoever has the damn puck…. that level of annoyance is usually saved for fraud fans in LA and Anaheim which made it more embarrassing :p

    This team is playing so well it’s scary!

    all flyer fans are toofless hilljacks

  9. Mouse on Mon, 2nd Mar 2009 3:58 pm 

    I yell the name of whoever has the puck when I’m not mad at someone. That said, I’m usually busy yelling things like “pass it to a person” or “play your point”

  10. Mouse on Mon, 2nd Mar 2009 3:58 pm 

    Lately though, I haven’t had many complaints, it’s confusing

  11. Scott Mackie on Mon, 2nd Mar 2009 4:04 pm 

    Well that’s different

    yelling a guy’s name because he has the puck and you want to show YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE

    that’s moronic :p

    I may actually be in attendance tomorrow night at the Sun, Scott. Maybe even bringing someone, too. Fingers crossed.

  13. Scott Mackie on Mon, 2nd Mar 2009 5:48 pm 

    Woot!!
    i’ll be there regardless because my hockey rink is obviously snowed all over!!

    bring em on!!!!!!

    No promises, but hopefully it’s at least myself and my formerly Arron Asham-loving friend. Haha.
