Game 22, Overflow Thread: Where'd the Offense Go?

Remember how these teams scored 25 runs combined in the first game? What was with that, man?

Sox up 1-0 thanks to a DMac double, Marco Scutaro single, and Petey sac fly.

Excellent

The Canes started out HORRIBLY, practically killing any chances of the post season by January. Yet the still sold out games as the year went on. Now there was an influx of youth and winning, but even the bad games had an almost packed house. The RBC center is a fantastic place to see a game, always filled with energy. Hell even opposing teams have been quoted as saying they love playing here because they never see that intensity at home.

I will say though, that fandom is not spread out state wide. It’s mostly concentrated in Raleigh-Durham area (where the Stadium is) and Greensboro, where the Canes played the first few years.

There are still people with their Whalers gear down here

And whenever the Bruins come into town there is a flood of retro jerseys. I even saw one transplant family with toddler Whalers jerseys. They do not give up easily :)

Nice!

Nope, Whalers’ fans never die, LOL.

I see plenty of people donning Whalers gear here, even kids who never saw the team. Probably cause their parents did.

It's sad that Winnipeg got their team taken away.

It’s not like anyone in phoenix cares about hockey. For crying out loud, the team is owned by the league.

maybe something Sox related, or a picture I took myself since my family finally got a digital camera

the current one is from some random person who happened to take a picture with me in the background and posted it on Japers’ Rink.
