Minimoret gunned it out there like Dewey did when some unlucky soul tried to go first to third.
Is there anything to the fact that there are so many day games being played today? Is it because of Columbus Day?
Just an observation from the game toady. I know it was his first game (sorry I don't have the name) but when 88 got the first goal and he announced it, it sounded like he was subtlety announcing an away team goal, or reading a eulogy. It was his big chance to make a splash and it was a total whiff. He must have got a memo during intermission because goal #2 was much better, but the hatty was meh as well. I don't go to the games for the PA announcer of course, but it stood out for sure.
It was Pete McKenzie from the 100.7 WZLX morning show Karlson, McKenzie and Heather. I happened to be in the car and catch the last 10 minutes of their show today when he was talking about it. He said he was nervous as hell and wasn’t really sure if he’d go for over the top excitement or stay subdued. I thought he did the Ted Green tribute well which was played on NESN. Can’t really hear the goal calls through the TV but they did sound kind of lame. I think you need to find a cadence that works and run with it, and I don’t think he had that figured out. Not sure if he has any previous PA experience other than doing ad reads and such on the radio.
There has to be a pun based on this but my Italian isn't good enough.
Pasta e fagioli means pasta and beans, which is sometimes known as pasta fazool (see "That's Amore done by Dean Martin) and we are dealing with "Pasta" and beantown. "In town" in Italian is "in città." So maybe you could have pasta fazool in città???
Tribute was solid. All the typical announcements were just fine. I was I had tape of the first goal. He also said Pastrnak from Pastrnak on the first goal. Jitters for sure.
Love the final score, love to hear that Pasta had a game. Annoyed at myself for not paying attention to the schedule and didn't realize it was a day game. Ugh.
It's a big, it depends. My loge 18 row 4s and 317/4s were fine. Dare I say, better, but I didn't sit in either of them today as I took my spoiled son and wife to the SportsDeck. But, I went back to row 10 in the loge 18 where could see the change and it was bad. My knees (6'1") hit the seat in front of me, and that seat had a little "play" in it, such as my knees moved it forward with nobody in it. Someone comes and sits down and that person is going to be jolted back. Then row 11 back were all pretty tight, again in loge 18. Cup holders were random throughout different rows and sections. Could not find any pattern to them. The balcony sides looked to be just fine as the elevation changes in the rows are so steep that the seatback in front of you is barely at your shins. Maybe the trouble spots are the corners?
Had 2nd row behind Zamboni. Loge 15 row 12. It’s tight, but I’m 6’4” and north of 250, so it’s always tight. Row in front of us didn’t recline much, thankfully.
