How is asking for verification trying to embarrass you? After all, it is the Internet.

He wasn't trying to embarrass by asking for verification.  It was the fact that after receiving all the verification, he never put up any money like said he would.  So, the conclusion to be drawn isn't that he really wanted to pledge but was doing his due diligence before hand (which is what we all should do), but rather that he was being a ****.

Well, Dater just tweeted that Wah's brother has deleted his Facebook page.  So it may not be a done deal...

As a typical away fan (I go to Sharks games in full Wings regalia)  I can offer this small bit of advise...

 

if your team wins (not gonna happen)  leave early or wait till all the drunks file out and have left.  The main exodus is when bad things happen, especially when the away team is the winner.   With kids in tow, I suggest waiting it out in the arena for 15 minutes and then make your way to the car. 

 

The other option is to stay close to other families, as you wont be a target with more children. 

 

This is more of a sports event suggestion in general, but during playoffs between blood rivals, it's much more important to keep in mind.

 

Win or lose, I hope you guys have a great time and enjoy the game without the worry of drunks and such. 

This is great advice.  I live in Denver, and go to every Wings game here.  Even if your team loses, don't file out with the masses.  It's the drunks that will cause the problems.  I've never had trouble with the Avs fans (even back in the day when the rivalry was real).  Keep the chirping good-natured, and have fun!

Mute Button.  Turn on Ken Kal.  Problem Solved.

I try to do this every game I can.  I live in Colorado, and for some games Ken Kal (streaming thru my computer) is 5-10 seconds ahead of the TV broadcast.  I was thrilled that for last night's game, he was spot on, and I got to hear him call Game 7!

Woo!!  On to Round 2!!!!  I'm in for $65!!!  So happy to spend my money this way!!
