Philadelphia hockey fans loudly and boisterously booed Sarah Palin who appeared to drop the ceremonial first puck at the Philadephia Flyer's season opener against the New York Rangers. That said, Philadelphia sports fans have a certain reputation for being a tough crowd. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd4wQd_gbj8]
I'm not sure what the McCain camp was expecting, especially after a recent blunder by Palin. Last Sunday Palin nearly went for a jog in Philadelphia wearing a New York Rangers sweater with... "Palin 08" written on the back. I can actually kind of understand her logic slightly because local Alaskan star and former NHL rookie of the year Scott Gomez (pictured below) plays for the Rangers, and so she probably is a genuine fan. (Clay, get us a couple tickets man!!!) But then again, she should know when in Rome...
This is purely anecdotal but when I was in the outlier suburbs of Pennsylvania doing voter canvassing there along with my roommate, she spoke to an actual undecided but McCain leaning hockey mom who had five children herself. This hockey mom hated Sarah Palin.
