Re: Big Red Hockey: Fearless... and Intrepid - 14 years ago
CowbellGuy Dpperk29For anyone who hasn't been to it, the Intrepid Museum is wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone, even those who aren't necessarily military history nerds. Agreed. Just watch your head. Seconded... people must have been shorter in the 40's...by Dpperk29 - Hockey

Jeff Hopkins '82 They make an announcement at every Flyers game about abusive language and profanity being grounds for ejection, loss of season tickets,etc. But it's never enforced.

Re: Penalties question - 14 years ago
lhayes Can anyone explain what happened with the Kennedy and R Nash penalties at 12:32 of the 2nd period? At 12:06, Gallagher and Bourgea had gone off with matching minors, leaving us at 4 a side. At 12:32, Kennedy and Nash went off for holding and slashing, respectively. Since we can't have fewer than 3 players (and the scoreboard only has room for 2 penalties a side), they only put Kennedy'sby Dpperk29 - Hockey
"Compose" section width - 14 years ago
This is pretty minor thing. With the old software the "compose" section at the bottom was restricted to a certain width. Now it expands to the width of the forum. This may be intentional, but it is sort of weird when you have the window maximized on a large wide screen monitor. I suppose I'll get used to it. Firefox/Vista (soon to be 7)by Dpperk29 - Hockey

tretiakLet me ask you this, have you ever really given it a shot? ever been to multiple games in a short period of time? ever made an effort to understand it?
