Flyers and their fans crying (again)

I was going to do a quick post about how the Cryer fans and even some of the Cyers themselves are whining about the series (amongst other things). I also wanted to touch on how classy Flyers fans are - above is a quick example....

The Pensblog already touched on some of the whining going on, so I'm gonna be lazy and just copy some of what they said, and provide a link:

You have to wonder what the referees will do to hand the game to the Penguins today.

Because, obviously, the league wants Cindy Crysby to win the Stanley Cup.

Maybe the referees will create brand new penalty calls just to hurt the Flyers.

Maybe they'll change the rules so Crysby is awarded goals for complaining to the refs.

The NHL hates the Philadelphia Flyers.

The poor, innocent Philadelphia Flyers just want to play hockey fairly and by the rules.

They want to display a kind of technical skill that Cindy Crysby could never match.

And the referees won't let them.

It's really not fair that they let their poster boy ruin the league.

Crosby sucks.

Crosby sucks.

Crosby sucks.

It was clearly the NHL's fault that the Flyers went 4-5-1 to close the season and lose home ice advantage.

The referee's clearly caused Jeff Carter to miss an open net in game two. Marc-Andre Fleury had nothing to do with that.

The NHL has obviously refused the Flyers attempts to sign a solid goaltender.

Gary Bettman placed a blood clot into Kimmo Timonen's leg last year that caused him to miss most of the Eastern Conference Final.

We all know that if he were healthy the Flyers would have swept the Pens.

The NHL just hates the Philadelphia Flyers.

It's not fair.

Timonen after Fridays game - true story

A few quotes from Flyers defencemen Kimmo Timonen:

"I didn't see the refs yelling at their bench at all. Not one time. And I could see them coming over to our bench a few times . . .. It makes you wonder why, but that's for others to judge."

"You see Crosby and these guys going to the refs and talking to them. It looks like they talk to them back, and when we go talk to them, they yell at us."

The Flyers are a product of their own self made environment - they want to be the roughest team in the league. Management (always former players) thinks the game is still played like it was in the 70's - but generally they employee players that don't know the difference between hard play or intent to injure. Then they think the league is always against them. This ignorance by the management is "bought into" by the players (it has to, if they want to play there) and it trickles down to their fans, who are realistically probably the worst in professional sports, because they just don't get it.
Because they are easily confused, they turn to conspiracy theories to help them sleep at night.

Here's a video after the Phillies won the World Series last year....a bunch of Philly fans celebrating together - generally an event that brings fan together:

BAHAHAHA

They take pride in being "the most intimidating fans in the NHL"

I'm thinking the most "ignorant fans in the league"

Look at this video...the Flyer fans are like caged animals....or more accurately zombies trying to get a meal or something:

I know each team has examples of assholes that just go to far - but in Flyer land, they just seem to outnumber all the other teams combined.

I guess the league always needs a villain - it's funny its ALWAYS the Flyers

If a Flyer fan ever read this, the immediate reaction would predictably be to curse me out, and threaten me and my family with violence...lol

Stay classy Philadelphia
