I was late getting home tonight from my high school baseball game [yep, I’m a coach, and we’re in first place…], and I was listening to the beginning of the Flyers-Capitals playoff game on the radio. The Flyers paid tribute to their late owner, Ed Snider, with an amazing video tribute that I felt through the radio into my veins. It was surreal. I can’t explain it. Then, the Flyers went out and scored in the first minute. You can’t script this stuff. Except, maybe with the Flyers, you can.
Here’s the video tribute to Snider, along with the moment of silence and Lauren Hart and Kate Smith singing “God Bless America” together:
And here’s the Flyers’ goal that followed:
And the light show was awesome:
