I’m so sick of the “Philly fans are the worst” comments all of the out of towners have. I was at the NJ Devils home opener on Sat and fans were yelling Flyers suck during the MOMENT OF SILENCE. Why was there no story about that? Voracek even Tweeted about it. I was at last nights game too, people spontaneously booed Crosby when they saw his face…no one knew why he was on the screen.

I was there too. What an embarrassment to their fan base…especially since the moment of silence was immediately following a touching clip about the 3 organization members who died. I think it’s also funny how you see children screaming their “suck…swallow” cheer….but we’re the classless ones.

I almost forgot
While standing in a ridiculous line to enter the arena (which never happens at the WFC) some scumbag with his son, who couldn’t have been older than 9 or 10, started yelling at my 8 year old son with the Rangers Suck…Flyers Swallow chant. I took the opportunity to explain to my son that this is a good example of why that child will fail out of school, never go to college and collect money off of the government for the rest of his life while he gets addicted to drugs and/or alcohol. I’d like to thank that man and his child for the educational opportunity.
Yea I was there too, and even heard an “F—- the Flyers” shout during the moment of silence for the Lokomotiv victims. That shit never makes headlines, but Philly fans booing during a PSA is worthy of an article? Give me a break. I’m sick of our fans getting a bad rap because people immediately lose their sense of humor when Philadelphia is involved.
After 10 years, I still can't figure out how Jiri Dopita had a 4 goal game and disappeared.
It’s an unfortunate coincidence, but they couldn’t have given us any other superstars to be representing the fight against cancer?
Stamkos?
St. Louis?
Ovechkin?

Or have each team have representative players involved in the fight against cancer to avoid these situations. Why couldn’t Pronger Giroux and Hartnell do a spot to be shown in Philly?

IMO Toews and Crosby will elicit the biggest and most numerous negative responses. The NHL PR firm needs to do a better job of analyzing home crowds.

We’ve never had a rivalry with the Lightning.
Keeping alive the old Vaudeville joke, "I'd rather be dead than play Philadelphia."
See above, I just blew the 95 series out of proportion, thinking it was multiple years in a row that we met in the playoffs. Probably because that series is one I remember more than most.

There was an article about this on MSN/FoxSports as well. it basically said the same thing. It mentioned that the fans should think before booing. I think the NHL should have done some market research before sending these PSAs out to the arenas, but whatever.
The comments were for the most part pro-Philly and called the writer out for making this into a thing and not mentioning the standing ovation a soldier and police officer received last night.
Its just like how its Crosby-Stamkos-Ovechkin on the loading screen for NHL GCL.
Their face’s print money for the league.
well, at least you went for the full monty of missing and inappropriately placed apostrophes. As redemption, you used the correct “their”.

Or that the Flyers Wives Fight for Lives Charity is the most successful charity in the NHL and I am sure a fair portion of that money goes towards Cancer.
As stated on the charities website.
he money raised during fundraising initiatives has helped the Foundation assist many local beneficiaries such as but not limited to…… Penn Hospice at Rittenhouse, Foundation for Melanoma Research, and Living Beyond Breast Cancer.
The Flyers fans booed Crosby I don’t care if Crosby is saving kittens from Fires his face in our arena equals BOO CROSBY SUCKS.
Selective history at it’s finest to a promote a old narrative. Not a single reference to flyers fans giving a standing ovation to Mario LemIeux when he came back from cancer.
My bad. Already mentioned. I like how dodger fans practically kill a guy in the parking lot, cubs fans jump onto the field and attack a third base coach, and Boston fans chuck beers at hockey players on the ice after games and Philly fans still are considered the worst.
Rangers fans chasing opposing fans through the streets of NY after playoff losses. Montreal fans rioting and burning police cars when they win. Vancouver burning down the city last year. Calgary rioting after playoff losses. (Ok, It’s been a while since this happened but still.)
Waah waah waah.

Years ago I went to Daytona for Spring Break. We met people from all over and when they heard we were from Philly they either stepped back like we were going to hit them, or stepped forward as if ready to fight.
Except for the group from Boston. But they were pretty well baked the whole time.

An old but constant foe
So, with everyone occupying everything, could we maybe occupy Philadelphia’s MSM?
Yes, it’s a tired narrative, as tired as the “horrible Philly fans” one, but man they’re horrible and create more problems than they bring to light. From the baseless speculation and small sample-size riding to the simple refusal to research and false narratives they like to perpetuate, you can’t help but get frustrated, especially when it’s thrown back at you from idiot fans who say they’re fans but can’t be bothered to actually take a look at things for themselves instead of repeating, verbatim, what they read in the paper, saw on TV or heard on the radio.
I know most of you have come to this same realization, but between yesterday’s Daily News Live, some of today’s news articles and the radio, it gets to be too much some times.

24 hour news cycle is the culprit. They run out of things to say and don’t want to pay good reporters/writers the salary they deserve so a lot of lesser qualified folks are in charge of the information dissemination. It’s sad.

OK I have a question regarding Higgins’ goal. When Burrows was behind the net Kimmo went around it to his left to challenge Burrows, leaving Higgins to get into position for the eventual score. Pronger was pretty much right behind Kimmo on the left side. Who was at fault there? Because Pronger’s reaction of slamming his stick on the ice was indicative of someone screwing up something there. Higgins being by himself was another good indicator of someone not where they were supposed to be. I’m curious who was at fault there.
Often wrong, but never in doubt.
by A Flyers Phamily on Oct 13, 2011 9:10 AM EDT reply actions
He can be back there but each D man needs to cover a pole/player. Personally I think Kimmo was trying to cover up for Pronger being less than 100% and going to the side Burrows was on allowing Pronger a few extra seconds to cover Bryz’s left side and they got crossed up and easy goal.
Run on sentences be damned.

The breakdown started with Nodls inability to get the puck out of the zone on a clean break out. Nothing pisses a defensman off more than making a good breakout pass only to have the foward not able to at least bounce the puck out of the zone. There were other breakdowns in the play but I think that was his main frustration, giving up a goal when the puck shouldn’t have even been in the zone.

Ultimately that was the whole play but when it broke down both he and Timmo are trying to get to the same places on the ice and he knew they blew the coverage.

Totally agree. Timo and Prongs aren’t really used to palying together, and it showed a few times when they were out together. Having said that I think they are pretty simple errors that can be corrected as the year wears on.

Ahh it was insane last night! We went from having all the PP’s and a 10-3 shot advantage to them having what seemed like back-2-back-2-back (for a long time) PP’s and it was exhausting to watch at the end. I thought it was funny when one of the linesman was yelling at one of the fans sitting in 121 after a call. The guy was pretty upset. I’m just glad they were able to scratch it out after the Nucks came back to tie it.
Thanks a lot Select-A-Seat! Now I'm in 122!

Haha I missed the linesman yelling at the fan. Was it number 80 Thor Nelson? That’s my boy haha and it wouldn’t surprise me if it was him. A couple years ago a guy from the oilers drilled him with a dump in and then yelled at him to get the f*#k outta the way. His repsonse is youtube gold haha search “thor angry.”
He’s a hell of a linesman though don’t get me wrong, 15 years in the show and 2 olympics. Its too bad all the officiating is ran out of Canada though so he’s been getting screwed out of playoff games for years and years. I do have a game puck from game 6 two years ago in the historic comeback against boston though :)

Oh for sure, that’s me! I watch every one of his games I possibly can. Although I don’t wear one of his jerseys during the game, I do have one hanging on the wall next to the tv. I also don’t think I’ve ever cheered for an offsides call, but I do love to see him break up fights. Especially if the guys are going crazy like when George Parros jumped Ben Eager haha.

So if Couturier continues to play well, what does everyone think the team does? Do they keep him around all season? If so, how does Schenn get into the line up?
Fighter of the Nightman.
Champion of the Sun.
Schenn is Shelley’s replacement – FO just wanted to light a fire under him to get him to realize that he didn’t inherit a chance to be a Flyer, he had to earn it. Plus, Schenn’s injury kind of slowed him down. The Flyers will have to send Shelley down to afford Schenn anyway. So let’s see if FO makes a move after Shelley’s suspension is over.

I thought Schenn got sent down so he missed out on like 1.5 million in bonuses?

It’s not. It’s a fake. Based on a concept someone photoshopped because they liked the old Quakers jerseys. There is a “winter classic” patch on the fake jersey, but it was also stolen from the same concept. It’s not the right patch. But a lot of people thought it was the real deal and bought them.

I know the hideousness of which you speak. I didn’t get your comment. Did you just mean that the people who booed are idiots and thus bought this jersey because they are idiots?

Which is worse: the fake WC jersey or the short-lived orange jersey with the “3-D” logo? I’m torn.

I’ll conduct an experiment. One eye will look at images of the fake WC jersey. The other will look at images of the 3-D logo jersey. A third eye will watch Katy Perry gifs. (why not?) And a fourth eye will look at a blank screen, to be the control group. First one with cancer loses.

A guy the Flyers need to make an offer for: Cody Franson. The guy’s a giant with decent mobility and excellent offensive skills. Toronto’s just parked the guy up in the press box, because their blueline is stacked. Plus his cap hit is under $1M. Don’t know what the Leafs would want for him, but the Flyers could benefit from getting him.

Um, 51 contracts? Flyers would have to do 2 for 1. Then Leafs have 2 guys in the press box?

Hunter Pence did not guarantee a WS, but, then, neither did Carlos Beltran.
I grew up in the Philly area, and lived there until my mid-20s. Only when I moved away, did the full brunt of anti-Philly negativism hit me. At first, I would try to explain the reality of Philly, as well as its sports fans, but it became apparent that it’s a losing battle. People believe what they want to believe, and now that I’m middle aged, I really could care less. I haven’t lived in Philly for nearly 20 years, but I always enjoy going back. Philly and the surrounding area has character, and a unique feel that is missing from so many generic cities in the US.

Slightly OT, at my tailgate for MD football, we’ve decided that the theme of each tailgate will be based on that week’s opponent. (e.g. Cuban food for Miami) So we went Philadelphia themed for the game against Temple and I made soft pretzels and cheesesteaks. Nobody complained about me being a Philly fan that day. :-p

Indeed.

At least the women’s basketball team should still be good, I love going to those games.

I can't believe this is news
If they did this announcement in Pittsburgh with Scott Hartnell speaking, there would be boos.
Vancouver riots after losing Game 7 of the finals. A Cowboys fan in NY brings a taser into the meadowlands and uses it during a Jets game. A person almost got beat to death outside Dodger Stadium. People got shot outside Candlestick after a pre-season game. A Cubs fans is still in exile. But Philadelphia fans boo a PSA and it gets more news.
If you follow English soccer, there is a club named Millwall. They have the well deserved rep of being the worst hooligans in England. They sing a song titled “No one likes us and we don’t care!” I’m not comparing Philadelphia fans to them but the song is the attitude you should adopt when dealing with people bashing Philadelphia. If you travel around country, you hear the same BS about Philadelphia fans. Ignore them.

The only Western Conference teams that travel less miles than Detroit this year are Chicago and LAK. Detroit is right on the league-wide average, and therefore need to quit their bitching.
Keeping alive the old Vaudeville joke, "I'd rather be dead than play Philadelphia."
After reading ‘Nucks Misconduct’s recap ( http://www.nucksmisconduct.com/2011/10/12/2487243/canucks ) on last night’s game, Im so happy BSH doesn’t suck. That whole write-up was terribly unprofessional, and just…ugh. I dont normally care about things like that, but goddamn.
Also, what’re y’alls thoughts about Hartnell? I know its only three games in, and that’s really not a sign for alarm, but after those three games and the preseason, Im a little concerned. I think its safe to say Simmonds has (possibly) taken up his job, and excelled by (possibly) being Knuble 2.0 at the same time. I’ve seen some talk about trading him, (obvs somewhere he’d wanna go due to his NTC), but do you really think that’s the best case? Is the magnifying glass really on Hartnell for the next month or so, to see if he really has a place on this new team?
I view this blog atleast 38763163 times a day, read every post, and regularly follow the comments, especially during games. I think I need to start posting more often…

OTOH, the recap kind of read like a one-man game thread, so maybe that explains it.

Crosby.....
With Crosby cleared for contact I can only guess what rule changes will be made for his first regular season game. I am going to guess they will be along these lines:
Automatic 50 game suspension for a legal hit.
If it’s an illegal hit, automatic crucifixion at center ice after the game. If the offending player is from a heated rival team the entire team will be executed by Bettman immediately and the Stanley Cup will be awarded to the Pens and the rest of the season will be cancelled.
Am I close? ;)
My teams are the Flyers, Phillies and the Steelers. Deal with it.
So not much of a change from before his injury
It's in his wheelhouse!!
Carlos Ruiz, My Nickname is Chooch.
The fans weren’t banning the anti-cancer ad. They were booing the players shown in it. How people can’t grasp that concept (or refuse to to make drama out of it) is just awful.
It's in his wheelhouse!!
Carlos Ruiz, My Nickname is Chooch.
If this had been Atlanta, and they showed Ovechkin’s face on the jumbotron for whatever worthy cause, the 10 fans in attendance would’ve been napping through the thing. Which is why there’s no longer a team in Atlanta. If they showed a cancer prevention ad in Philly last night without the players they chose, the fans would’ve been OK. Flyer fans, go figure, are REALLY passionate about hockey.

Jumbotron Opener Movie Thing
Anyone who was at the game last night, how was the opening video…thing?
I never quite know what to call these, but I love watching them. I wasnt too impressed by many last season, but Im hoping this years first-half one is pretty decent.
Regarding Joe Vitale:
…but as far as I know, this has never actually happened. It’s quite possible it has, but I haven’t seen it. Until Tuesday night.
I’m old enough to have seen this happen in a Flyers road loss back in the 70’s (post-Cup, Billy Collins/ Harvey Bennett/ Dennis Ververgaert/ Blake Dunlop era). Instructions from the bench took too long, linesman dropped the puck on a distracted Flyer whose name I can’t recall. Directly resulted in a goal against. I do remember Bobby Taylor being really pissed about it.
