It's funny, I always liked the Penguins. It's always been the Rangers, Devils and even the Caps that I hated more. Despite the fact the Flyers and Pens played an epic 7-game series in '89, I always liked a lot of their players. I'd go to games and whistle at Jagr, but I thought he was great. Lemieux was the greatest player I've ever seen; I went to a game at the Spectrum that was his first game since coming back from cancer, and we gave him a 2-minute standing ovation.
Of course, the Flyers have a historical reputation for being a rough-and-tumble team, and have been Public Enemy No. 1 in the NHL for decades.
It says a whole helluva lot when Rangers/Devils fans are rooting for the Flyers.
