Hey Freddie,
Just driving south from Atlanta to Tampa, great time last night, sending a couple of pics hope you get them, first one is the lack of people, but I've got to say, LOUDER than the ACC, unbelievable, of course winning 5-1 helped, but everyone was into it.
Philips Arena kind of reminds me of the Gardens, especially on the one side without private boxes, just straight up with corners appearing out of no where. The other two pics are self explanatory I hope, anyway highlights of the day in Atlanta.
Tour or Coca Cola (touristy thing)
Got ripped off by a Cabbie $26 for two minute ride then wanted a tip.. Ha!
Ended up in a underground shopping plaza, kinda like a mall under the Gardiner expressway - not impressed
Bought a puck head, along with $40 all you can eat wristbands and game tix, yes!
Between me and the boys, 16 Hot Dogs, 14 Nachos, 6 Pretzels, 4 Popcorn, 4 Amstel light, 4 Miller light, 2 Budweiser, aprox 16 pops and we were finished. We ate the least of all the guests. Wow, are they big down here!!
Great game, Ovechkin is pretty good, just not so good on the back check.
Before you say anything, in the all you could eat section I could only get Amstel Light, it reminded me of the beer strike back in the 90's, hey after 4 Amstels I started asking for Grizzlies, remember that beer, now that was a beer.
Anyway we will be all decked out in Leaf stuff tonight with our $12 tix in Tampa. I will be wearing my Lindros, as I forgot my Kordic sweater, walking from St. Pete's Times Arena to the hotel.
Cheers for Now
