    Just never really cared about hockey in general. 
    I get it.  I cared about basketball when I was a kid but haven't much cared in 20 years or so.  I thinking living amongst Lakers and Kobe fans soured me.

    Remember when Kobe died and everyone acted like the world was ending...then the actual world was ending via a global pandemic and no one gave a shit?  Good times

    Yeah....I almost was beaten down many times debating Kobe and the public idiocy during the whole Kobe Raper time.  

    Laker Flags.

    Not sure if people who didnt live in SoCal at that time can understand.  Perhaps there is a comparison of a bandwagon fuckdom an entire city got on, but saw nothing like it before and not anything close since.  How many times I sat on the freeway in LA and thought it might be best for a nuke to take us all down, looking out at the sea of vehicles with Lakers flags sticking up from them.  Gag.

    Every other car....like this:

    Sixers flags just like that were everywhere back in the few years they were good when Iverson was here.

    I mean it's the Lakers, though....in Southern California. Makes sense to me.

    Also, hockey is for the nerds. Ya ever meet a strictly hockey-Flyers-only-sport-fan. Fucking weird people. (says Pearl Jam nerd on an internet forum ::pushes nerd glasses::). Hockey's fine during the playoffs, and I love Philadelphia things. So, go Flyers, go Gritty.

    It was EVERYWHERE.  Awful.
    People who did not know anything about basketball loved Big Shot Bob and wanted Kobe to stay in their hotel.

    If I could go to every game of a team throughout a playoff level season, for free, and in style...Hockey wins going away. 
    I like Flyers fans - bought a season ticket package a few years ago for my wife and I to enjoy and the fans were great.  Very....Philly....but good hockey fans.
    We are weird but I would not have called hockey fans "nerds."
    Not that I care - I love sports but also music and books.  For sure happy to be a nerd or dork in many ways.

    There is a distinct look and feel to a Flyers-only fan. Like their own first or last name on a gargantuan oversized Flyers jersey.

    When I worked there this dude would show up the moment doors opened and pace the concourse until the game.  Also, think he is/was a delivery guy for Slacks in Port Richmond.

    :lol: 
    Gots to love it!

    I am glad Wells Fargo is not in Center City - it was lethal to roll out of a Kings game and into one of the badass places right there. 
    XFinity is ok once in a while post-game, I guess, but just no comparison.  Better to get on the Broad Street Line.
