Score?

By the end of the Stanley Cup Finals, who will score more: the Flyers or the Phillies?

I might put my money on the Flyers. Last night's game was quite entertaining, even though there was not as much scoring as in Game 1. I pledge allegiance to the St. Louis Blues and generally despise all things Blackhawk...but the Blackhawks have the coolest uniforms in all of professional sports. The Indianhead on the sweater is so neat to see.

Being an old stick in the mud, I'm getting annoyed at all the comments about how loud the United Center is. Do they not remember Chicago Stadium, 1800 West Madison? That was a madhouse. The United Center is a modern arena that looks like all the other modern arenas just like the ones in Philly, Boston, Washington, Columbus, St. Louis, take your pick. They are all the same and you cannot tell where you are unless you pay attention to the dasher boards and the signage in the arena. They are functional and utilitarian and they stink.
