Finally, the retribution for my Leafs loss to the Flyers on that ill-fated trip to Air Canada Centre(January 19th, 2003 to be exact). Not that I really wanted a Leafs win, I did hope for Flyers success to complete the X-mas gift to Laurie. We had seats suitable for royalty. The Wachovia Center was electric. I have a new profound appreciation for the fans from the city of brotherly love, there was a spell when they abused the priviledge to be a fan by seeming disinterested in the game.... that has evaporated. I honestly felt a chill when the Flyers fans showed resounding support during a time-out called by Hitch with 30 seconds to go, their team within 1 goal. A solid 3-2 win in regulation, it renews my spirit as a Maple Leaf fan despite their paultry season.
