Flyers win Stanley Cup
... or not.
On second thought, maybe it’s cruel to throw in the faces of these poor players and fans that they came so tantalizingly close to winning the Stanley Cup and their dreams have been irreconcilably crushed, yet again.
But then, these are the Flyers we’re talking about.
Je déteste les Flyers
Welcome to the party, Les Justiciers. (They brought us this last year.)
You know, I was rooting for a Bruins win in the last round. Partly because coming back from 3-0 would mean stealing the Canadiens’ Cinderella status. Partly because the Canadiens and Bruins have such a rich history. Partly because it was time to take revenge for last year. Partly because I thought our chances were better against them.
But I’m learning to appreciate the value of a Canadiens-Flyers series. We can take revenge for 2008. The matchup has already been billed as Cinderella vs. Cinderella, and made history as the first 7th vs. 8th matchup since the conference system was setup.
And, because the Flyers fans can be just as much assholes as Canadiens fans, it feels good to hate them.
By the end of this series, the streets of Philadelphia will be orange … with blood …
Blood mixed with urine, I guess.

From Jon Lajoie:
Note: Please do not take this literally. Flyers fans are human too. If you see one trying to steal the purse of a helpless old lady, please report the matter to the police immediately and do not — I repeat: do not — beat the person to a bloody pulp.
