We've spent the night celebrating the Flyers trip to the 2010 Eastern Conference Championship, as many around the city and the region have also done.
After the jump, in similar fashion to the time capsule we put together following the Flyers' miraculous Game 7 win against Boston, we take a look at how the media covered the Flyers' Eastern Conference title on game night, how the fans celebrated, and how the opponent suffered. Clicking forward will be display a lot of images and will be bandwidth heavy, so beware.

The CSN video reaction is F**king Amazing

I really hate the Flyers, but really, right now I hate the Hawks more.
Everyone has them as favourites for the cup now, but I hope the Flyers give them hell.
Flyers in 7.
Why do newspapers in foriegn languages always make me chuckle? I don’t know what a “votre burger” is, but I WANT ONE.
My French is a bit rusty, but I think that section roughly translates to “Useful spices for your burger.”
Honor is no substitute for victory.
You need to use paprika in combination with other spices.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
The other problem with paprika is it needs to be good paprika and not 10 year old paprika that’s been sitting in the back of the cabinet. The fresh stuff actually has flavor, as a kid my mom always complained paprika had no flavor and it’s just because she never bought the good stuff.

This is why I love this site. Not only do I get to shoot it with fellow Flyers fans, but I get to learn fun facts about paprika!
On another spice-related note, I suppose that now that the Montreal series is over I can resume using Montreal steak seasoning, which is great because that stuff rules.
Begin the embargo on deep-dish pizza!
I’ve been embargoing deep dish pizza since I first tried it.

Proudly supporting a Flyers team with "no honor."
I concur. It’s not like I’m giving up anything special.
The same thing happened when the Phillies played the Rockies in the playoffs. I attempted to think of something from Colorado that I could boycott, but all I could come up with was Coors Light. Not drinking that piss-water was the easiest thing I’ve ever had to do.
Once you’ve been to Italy, or had proper pizza, there ain’t no going back.
Shit, if you airlifted me into Rome and dropped me onto the Via della Conciliazione, I could find you the best pizza you’ll ever eat in about 5 minutes.
/wants to go back to Rome
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
Oh no you didn't!
You can say what you want about our team: Cabbie punchers, curse magnets, rats, weasels, thugs, etc.
But don’t you dare take shots at our pizza!

I think my issue with Chicago-style pizza is that I’ve never found a place that does a good one. They always seem to wind up being really greasy, to the point that setting it down on a pile of napkins, the grease from the bottom will soak through five or six of them.
Honor is no substitute for victory.
Have to politely disagree. Lou Malnoti’s rocked my world when I was out there.

I was rewatching the highlights – after Richards took the Prince of Wales Cup over to the team, did my eyes deceive me, or was Asham patting the trophy?
Honor is no substitute for victory.
He definitely did, and I can’t tell for certain that Gagne didn’t do so as well…. he looked like he went in for a high five with Richards, and might have taken a pat at the trophy too.
I’m all for it, honestly. They know there’s still work to be done, let them have their moment. For me, I think they should go ahead and celebrate a little, not excessively, and then move on with “This feels good, but that one’s going to feel a lot better, so let’s go get it”.

I’m all for them partying last night and getting back to work (late) today. It just caught my eye that Asham was patting the trophy.
Honor is no substitute for victory.
So I missed the first period of the game, had a softball game…but I made it to the bar to watch the beginning of the 2nd through to the end. Sadly only one other guy at the table was a Flyers fan and the bar did not have nearly as many people in it as I would have hoped but all in all it was a good time.
The last 5 minutes were just crazy intense. I literally drank two beers in those 5 minutes and had I not had to drive from the bar I wouldn’t have stopped. I needed something to call me down. I thought my heart was going to fly out of my chest and onto the big screen but it was all worth it.
There is something special to be said about this Flyers team. They don’t win with finesse like the Pen’s, they don’t win by playing boring trap hockey(although they have employed the trap this playoff run), they don’t win with a ridiculously talented offense, they win in typical Flyers fashion. They physically break teams down, they kill penalties, they beat guys to the puck, they take on 3 guys in the corner just to kill 30 seconds off the clock. They block shots with amazing consistency and never think twice. They are lead by their Captain who leads by example. They are relentless in every sense of the word. They are the 2010 Eastern Conference Champs, and I couldn’t be prouder of them.

Flyers, I’ve followed you since the 1972-73 season – yes, the one before the franchise won it all in 1974. I’ve followed you every season since. I am as proud of this team as any other Flyer teams I have seen suit up. In fact, I’m prouder now in many ways than many of the past teams that have made it to the Finals. The only way I can be any prouder of you and for being a Flyers fan is for you to win it all this year – and I know you can.
Please keep the faith that guided you through the Rangers, the Devils, the Bruins, the Canadiens, and every doubter you have had this year. If you do, I know you will walk together forever.
We’re all behind you – make your history!

awesome game last night. I was yelling for most of the 2nd period and rejoicing after the game was over.
the next series is going to be extremely tough, but today is not the day to focus on that, today is a day I’ve been waiting for for 13 years….

Question: Who’s the one over here that posted on one of our threads that Chicago is a horrible city and then said they have never even been there?
I noticed on Second City that they are saying a Flyers fan posted it somewhere on BSH. That’s the ignorance that makes us look stupid. Plus I am from Chicago originally and it is the greatest city in the US. Sorry Philly, but Chi town is amazing. Anyways, I just wanted to put that out there. Also, Chicago is my Western Conference team during the regular season, although my love for them is NO WHERE NEAR my love for Philly. I hope we can crush them and I can rub it in all of my friend’s faces! Congrats boys!

Eh, that fan was immediately smacked down, but it’s in the same vein as all the Chicago fans calling Philly fans the worst fans ever even though they have tons of bad fan happenings in their city. Battle lines are drawn and people overreact with hyperbole.

Side note
Did anybody watch SportsCenter the night of Game 5? If so, I hope you noticed just how biased the show is – not ‘was’ towards the NBA. They spent 30 minutes breaking down Game 4 of the Boston-Orlando series, then maybe a total of 10 between Game 5 highlights and predictions about the Cup Finals.
Having finished my rant, I’ve been a Flyers fan since I started following hockey in the 1994-95 season, my last year living in Philly full-time as it were. I’ve been waking up at 3 AM to watch the postseason on AFN (I’m deployed to Afghanistan at the moment), and as much as I’m looking forward to getting back to a normal sleeping rhythm once this is all said and done, I’m most looking forward to missing yet another victory parade down Broad Street!
GO FLYERS!!!
Working with rivals
It is also worth noting that one of the lieutenants in my company is a Devils fan, and two captains in my unit are Penguins fans. In typical Philadelphia fan fashion, they haven’t heard the end of it from me, and when we win it all they won’t hear the end of it until we redeploy – right in time for the 2011 playoffs, as it were! LOL
First off, thank you for what you are doing for us. Secondly, you rule! Thirdly, Never stop making fun of them. Ever! That’s an order.
Let’s Go Fly-ers!

Well, the one from Jersey I never let up on. Ever. I rarely let an opportunity to take cheap shots at Jersey go by… sue me. LOL
The two from Pittsburgh are a little tougher to deal with, especially come football season, but I get my seven chuckles at their expense whenever I can. Baseball season provides ample opportunity to do that.
All I know is, I saw these neat Eastern Conference Champion hockey pucks on Yahoo Shopping, so I’m hoping they come out with a Stanley Cup Champion version if/when we beat Chicago. If they do, I know four desks those are going on!

Had a friend that was at the Frankford and Cottman celebration.
He had his wallet stolen in the middle of it all.
The following should definitely appear on Jeopardy...
ANSWER: They were invented in Philadelphia by the city's favorite icon Benjamin Franklin. However, they are very rarely used by people in the city and its surrounding areas.
QUESTIONS: What are logic, reason, and rational thought?
Well...
That can happen any time you have large gatherings. I had a friend who had his stolen in the middle of Times Square on New Year’s. Always opportunists out there who have to ruin the fun for everyone.

Well, to be fair, when I say "invented," I mean "mastered them as an art form."
But you do see the point of my sig, yes?
