I do not buy anything at the Giant Center. Food prices there are higher (some items significantly so) than every professional sports venue that I go to. It should not be that way. 

We go to Red Robin before the game.

On back to back nights the Red Wings trailed in the final minute. Both nights they tied it, both nights they won it. 

And then they get eliminated because the team they wanted to win was forced to pull their goalie in a tie game because that team had to win in regulation. 

Pretty cruel ending for the Wings. 

I love Red Robin.  Afraid I would be too full of the unlimited fries to do it before the game though.  LOL.    The irony of the Red Wings situation is crazy.  If Torts knew he probably does not pull the goalie though Caps may still have won in OT.

Another scenario (improbable, and would not have happened regardless of coach) was that if the Flyers were putting on pressure in the final minutes to NOT pull the goalie and see if they could tie it 5 on 5. The Flyers are simply awful with a man advantage and I personally think they could have tied it without pulling Ersson. 

Again though...in reality, that just would not happen and even if they did it was admittedly a very low probability. 

All this thinking has me stressing for fries now. LOL

How much is beer now in Hershey? Philly venues are pretty much in the $13 - $16 range this year. 

Chicken and fries is what I remember costing so much in Hershey. I paid more for that 10 years ago in Hershey than I just did on Opening Day in Philly.

Not here, it is wet :-) 

I haven't looked out since 9am, at that time the sun was shining with only some high clouds around. I was stunned this morning - it was beautiful!

Cloudy here as well - looking at CTP's future radar map, I'm going to get a shower here in the next hour and that might be it until Friday. 

HRRR has quite a bit of shower and storm activity over the next 12 hours.   3K more scattered.

And the Flyers lost to the Montreal 9-3. SMH. Oh well, headed in the right direction as an organization.

The Rangers.  Rangers had the best record in the league but if the Caps can slow down the game they can make it interesting.   Caps offense is woeful though. 

That is what I thought. Should be a fun series. I think the Caps will give them a good series. And it is playoff hockey so anything can happen.

Sorry for the off-topic post. But I was trying to figure out whether Pennsylvania is the best state, and I noticed that U.S. News and World Report has us at only 40th best [in other words, 11th worst]. Do you guys think this is a fair ranking? Why is it so low? Pennsylvania is the 5th most populous state, has plenty of natural beauty and a mild climate.

Have not read but rankings like this are generally an exercise in absurdity and not worthy of anyone's time.  Like, how do you even begin to rank something as complex as a state and all that comes with that term?  Based on what? And according to whom?  Silliness aimed at driving clicks.

Anything that starts with US News and World Report usually falls into this category.

States should be ranked based on their Red Robin availability. How far does one have to drive to get to endless fries and campfire sauce?

That or tiddy bars.

Show me that ranking.

And further...personal preferences are what matters to me. I know there are some that won't visit let along move to Florida. I'd move there in a hot second once my wife greenlights us. Most of my family will be there in the next 3-5 years.

It would be more like a Hot 9 months but I catch your drift.  LOL
