You live in Philly right? They're the most rowdy fans in all of North America. These guys threw the bracelets handed out in honor of their deceased owner on the ice because they were getting their ***** kicked by us.
I've been to many venues on the east coast, not just Philadelphia.
The reputation of Philadelphia fans is far worse than the reality (at least outside of drunk Eagles fans and bandwagon World Series Phillies fans).
I was at the bracelet game. The bracelets were not in honor of Ed Snider. They had nothing to do with Ed Snider. They were simply for a pre-game/intermission lights shows for their post-season opener. It just so happened that Ed Snider had recently passed away, so there were also Ed Snider-related ceremonies.
