Pep rally outside Wachovia Center

Need to get out and enjoy some fresh air?

The Flyers are inviting fans to a free pep rally outside the Wachovia Center on Friday from noon to 2 p.m.

In addition to Flyers alumni appearances and free hot dogs, fans can pose with the Prince of Wales Trophy and buy official Stanley Cup merchandise.

Fans can continue to purchase Flyers souvenirs and Stanley Cup stuff at the large-size tent outside the Wachovia Center from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Sunday.

Mayors make bet. Mayor Nutter and Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley announced Thursday that they have bet on the outcome of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Whether the Flyers win or lose, Nutter will volunteer in a community garden with the Mayor's Office of Sustainability.

If the Flyers win, Nutter will donate food grown in local gardens to Philabundance, the region's largest hunger relief organization.

If the Blackhawks win, Nutter will donate the food grown to the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

Chicago's mayor wagered a large assortment of local Chicago food, drink and other products. If the Flyers win, Philadelphia will donate the goods to charities.

Comcast rivals bet, too. Comcast SportsNet networks in Chicago and Philadelphia, respectively the homes of the Stanley Cup-contending Blackhawks and Flyers, also have made a wager to defend their hometown pride in the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals.

If the Flyers win, Comcast SportsNet Chicago will serve Deep Dish Pizzas from Giordano's to Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia employees.

Should the Blackhawks win, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia will serve Philly cheesesteaks from Campos to Comcast SportsNet Chicago employees.

More bullies on TV. With the Stanley Cup Finals set to begin Saturday in Chicago, HBO has added additional playdates for the hourlong documentary Broad Street Bullies, a look at one of pro sport's most polarizing teams, the Flyers Stanley Cup championship teams of the 1970s.

The increase in ice time for Broad Street Bullies on HBO includes telecasts Saturday at 11 a.m. and Tuesday at 7 p.m.

The documentary can be seen on HBO2 on Saturday at 9 p.m. and Sunday at 11:30 p.m. It is also available through HBO On Demand until June 7.
