2013-2014 Philadelphia Flyers...

the fans of the teams of the city of Philadelphia are notorious for being passionate about their sports teams... at the Vet,they actually booed Santa Claus,and lustfully cheered when Dallas Cowboys' Hall of Fame member Michael Irvin got his neck injured,and carted off the field(he shortly retired after that)... during the glory days of the Flyers,and the days,of "the Broad Street Bullies",the Soviets refused to play a game(during the game),because the rough and tumble play of the Flyers... the Soviets did walk off the ice,and into the visitors' dressing room,but came back,and finished the game,under protest... at the ECW arena(basically a bingo hall,in South Philadelphia),the fans were so rowdy that they even brought something into the arena to let the wrestlers bash each other with,during matches,and then cheer for blood,screaming,"ECW,ECW,ECW",in the process... during the 1974-1976 seasons,in which they won the Stanley Cup,a player(noted earlier,in blog)set the NHL record for most penalty minutes in a season that still stands(472 penalty minutes)... the Baltimore Ravens even refused to play a exhibition game,at the Vet,because of the condition of the Astro Turf was so bad that pieces of the turf came up before the game and the seams were so bad that head coach Brian Billick simply refused to play,so game was cancelled... i bring that all up as a prelude to the current team... the Flyers have been known as a physical team throughout the years,and with Wayne Simmonds,and Jakub Voracek on the team,that will not change... Claude Giroux,and new Flyer,Vincent LeCavalier head the offense,and should bolster their offensive scoring,and Kimmo Timonen,and Mark Streit anchors the good,unknown(as having very few players known outside Philadelphia),and physical defense... in goal they have Ray Embry,who was 17-0-1,as the Chicago Blackhawks' backup,last season,and then promptly got traded... he should be the usual Philadelphia Flyers' goaltender,rough and tough,and refuse to take any guff... teams who play the Flyers should,and will be,in for a rough night in Philly...
