UPDATE: BSH vs. Japers' and Flyers Prospects Game

by KreiderDesigns on Aug 18, 2010 6:39 PM EDT

We've found out (Thanks to Red Army Line) that the game will be at Kettler Capitals Iceplex at 3 p.m. On ThurFree tickets will be available for fans who RSVP at WashingtonCaps.com starting Wednesday, Sept. 1.

At the last BSH pick-up "game" we kicked around the idea of combining our game against Japer's with a group trip to the Flyers vs. Capitals prospects game. This would mean getting together and carpooling down to Washington as a group. I think it would be a lot of fun, we can all chip in for gas for those that drive.

We believe that the game will be on either the 11th or 18th of September. (I can't find details, if anyone knows when and where it is please post the info in the comments)

So new poll: Who's interested?

On a related note...I think I could get us some jerseys for this game. What would everyone be willing to pay for them and what would you want them to be? (Current orange, old school white, etc.) Just let me know this in the comments, if we get enough interest I can post something else about it with options and such.

Poll

Would you want to go to the prospects game the same day that we play against Japer's?

Yeah, sounds like fun.

No, too much traveling.

I’d probably prefer not to pay over $25. Mind you that isnt an optimal price, but one I likely wouldn’t justify going over.

I would like to be in. Maximum possible notice is optimal. September 18 might be a challenge. The 11th sounds much better for me.

Sept 11 or 18 I’m down since they are both on Saturdays. 30 bucks a jersey sounds about right.

I am unfortunately too far away and busy for the next month or so to be able to make a long trip. Maybe I can make one of ours… or make one against ILWT or Blueshirt Banter or Lighthouse Hockey and I can easily make that!!

Even if I am not playing I would be interested in the jersey especially if it’s a special custom BSH jersey (will they also be personalized?). I’m also for the 25-30 range, and I would definitely want to buy one.

Can I ask for those people who said “No”, is it just that you don’t want to drive that far? Because if we carpooled obviously not everyone would have to drive.

Well, is the Jaspers game mixed, or roller only?

Secondly, the idea of cramming a bunch of dudes who’ve done nothing but sweat for 2 hours into a long car drive seems rather unappealing.

For the interest of an actual game I think we should do roller only.

We’d be going to the prospects game after so there’d be time to clean up and reapply deodorant / make ourselves smell better before returning home in cars.

If its skates only, I’m out. I’m only just now learning how to rollerskate. The last thing you guys want is 6 and a half feet, 265 pounds of muscle and beer skating out of control towards one of our more frail players.

Unless it was MarioD. Then you guys would probably pay for that.

However, 6 and a half feet, 265 pounds of muscle and beer skating out of control towards one of their more frail players could be an effective tactic…

(just kidding, seriously. this is meant to be fun)

Honor is no substitute for victory.

If I get the skates I’m in…also I just had an MRI on my right foot today, so my participation would also depend on the results. Who knew that running for 18mi on a nice Sunday morning could be so dangerous.

If I can’t play, I’d still be interested in heading to the game anyway. I could take pictures. And if I play, and DG is going, she can use my set up to take pictures.

Is this the right room for an argument?

See, there’s the problem….they did an MRI on your foot. What they should have done is a CAT scan.

I'm shut down

For 2 to 4 weeks with a stress fracture. So I’m out for the game, but I may still be in for trip.

Is this the right room for an argument?

I would be interested but I will be in Myrtle for my annual golf week with my golf group. If it changes weekends I will keep looking for updates.
