Anyone in the London area going to the game? I'm in Section 105, Row D.

I went to the Flyers - Caps pre-seasoner at the JLC before the 03-04 season and it sucked. Aside from Jagr, most of the star players sat out and the game was lacking in intensity, aside from some spirited tilts, it was a rip off. I'm assuming they are charging about the same amount for a ticket again. Hopefully the game is better this year...

According to Hitchcock, all hands will be on deck for every pre-season game this year. I'm not sure the Forsbergs and Gagnes will play a lot of minutes, but considering the number of new faces on the Flyers, they've got to give these guys playing time to work out line combinations.

It's KILLING me that I'm not going to that game....... for those who are -- I want reports!

I kinda agree with you. I went to that game too and there were too many big names that did not dress.

One thing that was funny in that game: Alex Henry tried to fight with Brashear (with predictable results). Henry went down after a couple of punches and Brashear pulled him back up and hit him a couple more times.

Perhaps the NHL has mandated a better showing in these matches, but I have my doubts you will see a real game out there. I think I am gonna pass

I wouldn't be caught dead paying the prices for this game at the JLC. I've actually heard that they're having a rough go at selling tickets for this game, just for that reason.

Turns out I can't make the game. :cry: If anyone wants my ticket at a cheap price just let me know.

Section 309...deadcentre on the end. Flyers skating that way twice.
