Just got a ticket. I’ve never been to one of these so I have no idea what to expect. I live right outside of AC but I don’t really go to casinos much. Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing who we choose at #21. The email also says that some “Flyers players from our young core” will be there. Should be pretty cool! This season has been such a fantastic ride.

Tbh, I’ve been off of hockey for the last couple of years, just because I haven’t had any way to watch. But I got to watch this entire season and it felt so amazing to be back into Flyers hockey again. They’re #2 on the list of things that have kept my head on straight this past year. Found out my wife’s been cheating on me. So we’re in the process of a divorce. And man, it sucks.

But seriously, the effort that these guys gave and the chemistry they developed over the course of the season really brought me up when I was down low. There have been moments during games when I’ve been elated, enraged; I’ve shed tears watching some of these playoff games. Hard to say at times whether what I was feeling was because of the hockey or because of my life, and hard to say how different the two are. Ups and downs. Bullshit calls. Trust, actions and consequences, what it means to love. I love hockey. I love the Flyers. My daughter loves Gritty. She’s #1 on the list. I can’t wait to teach her how to play hockey.

Sorry I really didn’t set out for this to be a rambling diatribe of emotions lol. Thank you to the Philadelphia Flyers for one hell of a season. Let’s see what you got next year!
