Off day thread: one last one because I feel like I have to do it today

(and I’m back from my temp ban for posting a video of the 2010 Rangers-Flyers shootout on r/rangers after we beat them last week.)
I got to go to the Wayne Simmonds games which was awesome. He wanted a few military members to be there as a part of his Wayne’s Warriors initiative from when he played here.
A few of us got to meet up with him in the Shift 4 Club before his press conference, which was awesome. He was SO nice and talkative and just genuinely happy to be there. (I got a jersey and my uniform hat signed by him) Wayne was super chill, took as many pictures as we wanted and was an all around pleasure to meet.
Afterwards we got to sit in on the presser, which was super cool! Briere, Hartnell, JJ, Lou Nolan, Al Morganti and Bob Kelly were all right there. I talked to Lou, JJ and Hartnell for awhile before the press conference. I tried to see Briere but he was in business mode for sure.
Then we got to watch the game from the 100s with Shift 4 access tickets…which was also pretty crazy after only sitting in genpop since the 90s. Picking up a thing of crab fries, a beer and a plate of steak tenderloin for free was pretty crazy. Also bumped into Bundy down there, too.
All and all, I had the coolest Flyers related experience in my life.
…and then I went to the game Tuesday and it ended with my son crying the whole way to the car.
