    Even though a loss, HUGE crowd.
    Hockey fans having fun, family friendly. A reasonably priced good time.
    The improvements to the Bay Center, especially the video are impressive.
    The sound system still is terrible and it my understanding plans are in the works to address this.
    Go Flyers !
