At the bottom was a hole that was 1.001 puck widths wide and 1.001 puck thicknesses high. The contestant would shoot from the opposite blue line and try to get the puck in the net. After the first few times, the fans would boo the announcement, "Now it's time for the Atomic Tire Giveaway". One woman slid the puck along, and it hit the hole but didn't go through. She got rousing cheers, but the final announcement, "That was the Atomic Tire Giveaway" got more vicious boos than usual. <br /><br />Anyway, Let's Go Flyers! Boom-boom-boomboomboom. Let's Go Flyers!

And we should have a better chance at this than the 2016 Olympics, but I digress...<br /><br />What I wouldn't do for tickets to the first two games in Chicago.

They should be able to celebrate on home ice, and the infamous Flyers fans would taint the presentation. I'm not sure I can take a Game 7 - my veins aren't as young and flexible as they used to be.... <br /><br />Off to look up calming mantras and breathing techniques.
