Just dropped in to give my condolences Flyers fans.
As a Toronto sports fan, I've been shocked by the outpouring of grief you guys have shown. My city is blessed with teams that I love despite their mediocrity, all owned and controlled by massive multi-billion dollar corporations. Our figureheads are largely unknown, bottom-line, business first guys. While Mr. Snider was a successful businessman, the type of connection he had with the City of Philadelphia and the Flyers fans is something completely unknown to Toronto guys like myself.
With my team pushing for Auston Matthews instead of a Cup, I hope you guys can make a run for him. It's only justice for how much of himself he gave to the team you guys love. I'm glad you all recognize how lucky you were to have an owner who loved the game so much. I'm proud to be a hockey fan today.
RIP Mr. Snider, there won't ever be another one quite like him.
