CoachX Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) So the wife decided to treat me to a cross country trip for my b-day. We are going to be there to see the Flyers take on the leafs (my second most hated team). I got pretty good seats from stubhub. Kinda helps that the team sucks right now. So, help a guy out, i need some info since ive been gone forever.... Where can I get good deals on flyer gear? Is there somewhere in the city to shop for hockey equip (NM is not a hockey mecca)? And where is a good local place to take my wife for breakfast (Bullys pub for dinner) Edited October 30, 2019 by CoachX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can say hey I was there at Jake's last game as a Flyer...seems you pick a not so good time to go with their current issues. But hey i hope i'm wrong they turn it around and you get to see a good game and the Flyers handily beat the Leafs. You never know they are going through some issues right now not sure when they come out of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved out of there about 13 years ago and am now about 60 miles from the city so I don't get there as much these days. My cardiologist seems to think the distance is helping my cholesterol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, I'm likely making a debut trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame during my seven hour layover (nice scheduling, Air Canuck!)
