what did you expect? It's funny, but with all the grief philly fans get about being a bunch of jerks, we at least understand the time and place for it. Other cities try to emulate us but usually always get it wrong.

Theres always one

I attended the game where we did the Mario farewell tribute.

Philly gets it right at the right times

Bunch of inbreeds.....

 

[Flyotes]

I remember when the Ranger fans called Flyer fans "imbreads."

I wouldn't condemn the Penguins fans--- there will always be some crass individuals in every group.

 

[Rebels57]

They use the word "yinz" as the plural for "you." That's all you need to know about those vile scum buckets.

I love malapropisms....

I will never ever see a game at MSG again in my life. I went once and could not stand being around them..including my cousin. Wanted to punch them all in the face....including my cousin

Back in the old days I dumped more than one cup of beer on a rags fan down in the crowded bathrooms between periods in the old Spectrum. They smelled like they needed a bath.

I've heard them pronounce "wash" as "worsh". I heard a full sentence of "yinz gon' worsh your hands?"

It will never leave my brain

Having previously lived in Pittsburgh for a number of years, I couldn't agree more, but it's tough to pit the moronic cheers of a few following that dumb comment against the full crowd. Most of the real Pens fans I know respect the gravity of the loss.

Priceless!

I wonder if the Flyers will go the route of making this patch a permanent part of their jersey. I'm a Kansas City Chiefs fan and the patch honoring the AFL and Lamar Hunt is now a permanent part of their uniform. Same sort of thing with GSH for George Halas on the sleeve of Bears uniforms. Maybe at the very least a helmet decal if the organization does not want a permanent shoulder/arm patch.

 

[Flyotes]

I'd support that.

 

[Striiker]

I think it'd be better on the helmet. (Long term, right now it should be on the jersey)

Love the tribute. I do wish they went with "ES" instead of "EMS"... maybe even a "Mr Snider"... perhaps his middle name was important to him. The Harry Kalas tribute patch was HK despite his middle name being Norbert as he signed everything as "Harry Kalas" the same way Mr. Snider signed everything as "Ed Snider". Either way, a great gesture. Looking forward to seeing the team play with it now and hopefully find a way to incorporate it into their jerseys permanently.


EDIT: Hate this sort of disrespect coming from it.

Let folks disrespect in their moment of silliness. Buzzsaw comin

 

[StateOfHexcellence]

I think the helmet patch works for permanent solution.

 

[The Shovel Penguin]

I just wanted to stop by and offer my condolences on your loss. And what my fellow Penguins "fan" did was shameful. Good luck against Washington.

Would not want Wayne Simmonds extra P.O.'d at my team. Or Gudas. Let's hope for clean and hard fought like the old days (well, hard fought anyway).

It's trite to say "Win One for the Gipper" it's not that kind of world anymore. But for an old school guy like Mr. Snider... who knows.

 

[Sawdalite]

I was thinking yesterday that the Flyers should include in their jerseys some sort of tribute to Mr. Snider... each and every Season and PostSeason, every Jersey rendition... But something more subtle than the one they will be wearing this PostSeason... starting next Season. Maybe his initials or 'Mr. Snider' on the bottom hem of their jerseys, or worked into the design somehow... or another nod alluding to him.

Up until this First PostSeason Game, Mr. Snider has been with the Flyers in one way or another... a real icon... IMO he should stay a part of the Flyers in he Games gong forward... each Game... every Game. I suppose on he helmet is fine, but I'd rather it be the Jersey itself.


... I kind of like the Flyers to be Ed Snider's Flyers like 007 James Bond is always, Ian Fleming's... and they also always incorporate Cubby Barcoli's name in the Films, even after his death... To me it will always be Ed Snider's Flyers... although I do understand how they couldn't bill it as that... [ Or could they? ]
