There are a lot of numbers connected to a hockey game.

Most Flyers fans are likely reveling in the Flyers second straight win over the hated Devils. Simon Gagne's goal in overtime lifted the Flyers to a 3-2 win to give the orange and black a sweep of the home-and-home series.

But that's not the number that fascinates me. It's this one: 5,580. That's how many people actually made it to the Meadowlands in the teeth of the Blizzard of 2010. The place holds 17,625.

Gotta love hockey fans.
