Update: Here's the video. They definitely turned the music waaay up to drown out the boos. Considering the game was in Philly, this was probably a best case scenario for Palin. Also, please note, this was an NHL game, not an Obama rally. There were also no discernible calls for violence or accusations of mass murder and treason.

I guess this proves that all different kinds of people dislike Sarah Palin.

Update: I just watched the puck drop, and there was definitely a lot of booing, at least from what I could hear. The Flyers had the music up extremely loud the whole time, drowning out the crowd. We'll have to wait for some of those fan videos to get the real scoop. These are Philadelphia fans, so I expect there will be some raucous ones.

I received the following via email today, from PuckYouPalin.com:

It's time to hip check the right wing!

Join PuckYouPalin.com on Saturday during the Rangers/Flyers game and chant... PUCK YOU PALIN!!!!!

With the announcement that VP nominee and self professed "hockey mom"Sarah Palin will drop the puck at Saturday's Flyers/Rangers game, puckyoupalin.com is getting inundated with emails. The web site has heard its fans and will post video of hockey fans chanting PUCK YOU PALIN from Saturday night's game.

The game starts at 7pm EDT, so I guess we'll find out soon how big their email list is. I can't stand hockey or Palin, so I'm not sure I'm exactly their target audience.
