Mark Madden did a piece on the Flyers last Monday. I actually heard it as I was driving out to Monroeville to pick up my tickets to the "shirt of your back" game. Now, I hated MM in the past but I do enjoy him a bit more now after I heard him talk about the Flyers.

To sum it up: he basically said Flyers style of hockey (being rough, physical and intimidating) doesn't work obviously, because they haven't won a Stanley Cup since the mid 70's. Also, he mentioned that their fans keep thinking they are the best team even though they can't bring the cup back home and continue to exit the playoffs with disappointment. He said that they are some of the worst fans in hockey. He then concluded after going on and on that the Flyers and their suck by stating that if a Flyers fan has a gun, he or she should shoot and kill themselves.

So therefore, one can conclude that MM thinks that the Flyers are a terribly awful team and all their fans should shoot themselves.

He said all of this on the air and I had to LOL a bit.

Let's go PENS!!!!

He aslo said that we would dismantle philly if we meet them in the playoffs. Hope he's right!!! When is the first game? I heard someone plays their first PO game mid week????

Lol...no problem.

I like versus, they have hockey on all season. More than I can say for another certain four letter network...

Flyers choked when it counted most. Played like it didn't matter with home ice on the line. They will pay dearly in 5 games

GO PENS!

I was thinking the same thing ... Pens hockey just isn't the same without Paul & Bob or Mike and Bubba!

Watch games on Versus without sound and tune the radio to the X for the game
