Because every year the same trivial, anal posters decide to try and guilt everyone else if they happen to forget their red, or what have you.

You're forcing it. The C of red is (was) special because it was spontaneous. It was the perfect storm of a big playoff run after 7 years of drought, everyone getting excited about the team that year, and new, sexy jerseys.

The 'dome could just give free red t-shirts. But as I remember, the "white-out" in Philly (?) and Tampa, among other teams, made fans here claim an illegitimate atmosphere, as they should.

And yes, I do wear red to every game.

Sure, the same way I'm a better Flames fan than you (or 95% of this board) simply because I've been on CP longer.

If you were such a huge fan, you wouldn't have moved to NYC, started wearing vintage clothing and bought a fixed gear bike.

What I find funny is that you think I have an apartment big enough to hold a bike at all.

I blame you for making the 'Dome so quiet tonight.

How big is your apartment ... and what does it cost if you don't mind me asking? I've always been curious about the NYC rental market. Also, where abouts is it?

To make a long story short WHERE DO YOU LIVE!?!?!

Wheelie shoes...now we're getting warm!

Nik, let's just say my apartment is so small that in 7 years of living here, I have never had the privelage of having a coffee table or a dining table ( I have an eating sofa!). Clearly, I'm going places!

Clearly they lost because I wasn't a good enough fan tonight. I noticed Iggy looking at me in the stands tonight without my Jersey on during warm up. I could tell he was mad, should have known right then he was going to tell the rest of the boys to shoot wide all night.

Sorry guys.

THIS!

Although I'm disappointed the red ones didn't have A's on them.

There were some ######rs selling fake ones on the +15 before the game.
