calling me a "big Flyers fan" does not come close to encompassing my fanaticism.

I am a freaking maniac where the Flyers are concerned.

if you ever watch their games on TV, and you see those crazed fat guys from Philly brawling in the stands? I am in the thick of it. Everytime.

with a massive gourmet Italian sub miraculously surviving the mayhem untouched.

You know that's not the correct term for it. Stop translating for them.

I sure wish that someone knew how to make salami, bologna, and pepperoni over here.

I think that an authentic Philly deli would make money hand over fist.

Glad to assist Sdiver. By the way do you recall any Michigan teams involved in College this past year. Wings fans were left to waiting for the Tigers to start playing ball. Or were they left waiting for the Lions to play. The only reason they are still in the NBA hunt is because of that home grown Colorado kid!

This lock out added a couple more years to Sakics and Blake's careers. Let's drop the puck.

I am sure that they could, but you would not want to know what the ingredients were.

Its like the secret masonic handshake - we never say hoagie first, or in a loud tone. Hence, during the game when someone, with no outward markings of an opposing team yells "Hey Theadore if you're going, could you purchase me a sub"? They might as well have a shirt made of chem lights and a strobe on their wig, cause the Broad St dance is about to begin......

Just because Ilitch is loaded.... everyone wants to hate the Wings The Tigers, umm yeah anyhow, we have a really nice new stadium though. I'm from far enough north to be raised a Packers fan so I don't have n e thing to do with the Lions. The Pistons.....whats basketball?? I prefer to follow mens sports.

Mathieu Schneider was on the ice before one of my recent games playing with an elite-level adult league team. He looked really rusty -- several turnovers and a blown assignment leading to a goal within the 5 minutes I was watching. I don't think he's been playing much at all.

The Wings have not re-signed him, IIRC.

Rangers fans, or Maple Leafs fans, in particular, get welcomed to the City of Brotherly Love with an old-style smack-down.

And we laugh when the teams from California try to play "physical" with us.

When the Avs come to town, though....we take them seriously.

And when the Devils come from Jersey. No love lost, no mercy shown.

There have been some outright brawls between the Flyers and the Leafs. Tie Domi....could not walk down the street without a PSD detail from Zapata.

Used to like the Islanders, when Ken Morrow played for them (went to college with Kenny). Since he retired, I could care less.

NCAA hockey is real hockey. Not a bunch of thugs looking for a reason to toss their gloves on the ice.

I prefer to patronize fights where occasional hockey games break out.
