Oh wow..... sounds like fun.

I didn't go because I am raging sick, but I saw the game on TV last night. Dave Samson was interviewed during the second intermission and I heard our famous "Dream On" video playing in the background. Dave Samson was there with his little girl, it was cute.

 

And they showed footage of Samson and his daughter coming out before the game with the trophy on the ice and stuff.

But i found out about this a little while back when i received my panther email. sorry everybody
