    What is more fun?

    I just returned from a huge playoff win for my Pittsburgh Peguins against the Philadelphia Flyers in Philly. It was an exciting game that the Pens hung on to win and silence the very loud home crowd. Since many of you just returned from a big Force win on enemy grounds my question is: Would you rather see your team win at home with a full stadium of fans to cheer along with or would you rather see your team win an away game and silence an entire stadium of fans?

    As much fun as it is to be cheering in enemy land and win, I think I'd still prefer to be part of the home town excitement. But that may be beause I haven"t been home for many years.

    My favourites have been the away wins because we got to celebrate with the team.

    Tough question if you have not been to an away win though.

    Tough choice, away win is great because there are so few Force fans and everyone kind of comes together and the boys are so appreciative that you've gone the distance to watch and that they could pull off a win and have people their to celebrate with them. Plus its so much fun seeing the faces of the majority of the crowd who aren't supporting the winning team
    But then home games where the majority are supporting the Force and we get the team song played and everyone is happy and in a good mood is also heaps of fun. Sea of blue looks much better too.

    Every win is pretty good, but the away win in Canberra will stick out for some time for several reasons

    Any time you can celebrate with the team that is a win!

    There's not many fans who get to enjoy that.

    haha..there's always a little of that when they play!

    It is reviewed at the league offices in Toronto, my guess is that Crosby never really hit Biron, I haven't seen any replays other than at the game.


    Notice how when they play the music for the chant where the Philly fans normally yell "Let's Go Flyers" when they play the Pens, it's changed to "Crosby Sucks" ... they actually think that that affects Crosby! well it probably does but in the opposite way that they want it to. Crosby averages almost 2 points a game against the Flyers, in hockey that's a huge number.
