Philly Phanatics – THE online community for Philly sports fanatics

Andre Delsol’s run at a world record and a personal goal of seeing 30 NHL games in 30 NHL cities in 29 days continues in the land of Dixie as he moves from Raleigh to Atlanta to take in a Flyers road game. PhillyPhanatics.com covers Hockey on the Fly….

I have never claimed to be a genius. In fact, just the other day, spell check had to correct my improper spelling of “genious”. I’m also a rather stubborn guy.

Andre’s tweets of note:

About the travel: Guy next to me on flight to ATL smells like a lit cigarette. Yaaay!

About the latest in hockey fashion: St. Patty’s day jerseys! These ones actually look decent with the clover on the back. Approved.

(and…) Something I haven’t mentioned yet but seen a lot lately, my pet peeve, wearing a jersey of a team not in the building that night. Just don’t.

PP: Would a Calgary Flames jersey work in Atlanta? How did you feel about Nordiques wear in Colorado?

AD: No to Calgary. Seen a few Atlanta Flames jerseys though. Seems fair. I’m a sucker for Nordiques gear. Fully approve.

Arena rating: 4.11 out of 6.00
