Listen, i didn't make this up. Here's what I do know. I've been to hundreds of sporting events and concerts in my life. To my recollection, I've been in two altercations. The first was with an asshole in Tampa wearing a Hextall jersey while surrounded by Lightning fans in the 2004 (I believe) playoffs. The second was at PJ 2016 at Wells Fargo with a guy who refused to leave my seat, until he saw the other six guys I was with. Maybe it's cliche, maybe there's some truth. Either way, there's a lot of dogging of Panthers fans around here from Flyers and Kings fans. Neither are known as A+ in the world of sports.pjhawks said:

Agree on the PJ statement. I always go to Philly shows for just that reason.pjhawks said:
we are no worse than any other east coast fan base. and the best fan base for PJ so that helps.mrussel1 said:
Nah, the outcry would have been, "Look, more proof at what total assholes the Philly fans are". We've all sat in seats with Philly fans. We know how they are, even when they are the visiting team.pjhawks said:
as a Philly fan I can only imagine the national outcry that would occur if the Philly fans booed the Conn Smythe. I guess when the fan base sucks like Florida it's ok though.mrussel1 said:
This is my view too. Bobrovsky played well game 7. Now he had great help and a great effort in front of him, but he did what he needed to do. He also played great just about every game other than 4-6. So I don't blame the Panthers fans for booing that Smythe decision. I would have too, if I just watched my team win teh Cup on home ice, and the award went to the losing effort. That's a total buzzkill.tempo_n_groove said:
No. When it mattered, the last game, McDavid did not deliver.pjhawks said:
Yes but Bob's games 4-6 were not good. Close call but I think they got it correct.mrussel1 said:
If I was a fan, I probably would have booed that call too. Bob probably should have won it. McDavid didn't have a point the last three games, if I'm not mistaken.pjhawks said:
Can't have a game 7 with like 1/4 of the building being fans of a team that is 7,000 miles away. Booed Conn Smythe award. And when they aren't great in a few years the building will be empty again.g under p said:

Grant you when I go to games down in Sunrise the Bruins fans show up in droves. The Panthers played so well against the Bs. Their goaltending was simply outstanding 👏.
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 FLORIDA PANTHERS.

edit - last two games he was held pointless.
Happy for Paul Maurice. He has been around so long he coached the Hartford Whalers. Pretty crazy.
As far as no worse than other NE (not east coast) fan base... I don't know man. Philly fans seem to be more of a problem than Islander and Caps fans for sure. Rangers and Bruins, maybe as bad. I think NY fans have more class than Philly or Boston.
While you may have an argument with that statement, you know damn well what the reputation is. And it's Philly is the worst. Whether that's reality or not is different, but having a jail at the Vet and throwing show balls at Santa creates a rep.0 -
Ok you convinced me. But by your logic I should condemn Vegas fans because a guy snuck in my floor seat in 2003. Or ft worth fans because one guy was a dbag in the Uber line. Or St. Paul fans because they got annoyed I stood up during Corduroy .mrussel1 said:

All of that... they all suck. Only good fans are Cleveland fans. We only throw batteries at the Bengals.pjhawks said:

I've never had someone refuse to move from my seat. That is unheard of...0

I think the Panthers fans were booing more of the decision and they thought Bobrovski should have gotten the Conn Smythe. I give them the benefit of the doubt that they were not booing directly at McDavid. They aren't jaded and angry in Florida like they are here in the northeast and midwest.
I used to get super angry at these non-traditional cities with NHL teams. I have gotten over that, once many of these teams exceed 20 years old, and also how Nashville looked like it was going to die, they got a few playoff runs, and they created one of the better/rabid fan atmospheres in the league. They also understood and helped make one of the greatest All Star dramas in history with the John Scott thing. I also see in Buffalo that many years of a shitty product will drive the most loyal of fans far away. My son has also met a lot of really good hockey players all over the country, who probably would not have started playing hockey if it werent for some of these teams.
I never had this feeling before, but I really do not think they should award the Conn Smythe to a losing player. That creates kind of an awkward thing, and to-a-man, I wonder if McDavid actually wants the Conn Smythe with the bad memory of losing Game 7 of the cup finals (unless there is a bonus tied to it that is).0 -

I guess when you break a single playoff record for assist, that was held by some guy named Gretzky, you win the award?
I don't think there would've been too many complaints if Bobrovsky won it? (I don't)
Well, answer this question: Has a player won the Conn Smythe before from a losing team?=LOL

I love this Philly talk. Incidentally, I was watching a YouTube this morning where Husker Du were on some Twin Cities morning show. The host asked Bob Mould if riots ever broke out at their shows. Bob said, “always in Philly.” Not a bad thing!If I had known then what I know now...

the snowballs at santa thing happened almost 60 fucking years ago. it's lazy and stupid to bring up something that happened in then 19 fucking 60s. i mean try to at least get something of reference in this century since we are almost a full 1/4 through it already.mrussel1 said:

i can't think of another city where people refer to things that happened at games in the 1960s to criticize a fan base. if you can come up with one maybe Ill stop getting annoyed when people bring up things from the 1960s.Post edited by pjhawks on0 -
Listen dude, you were the one that made the quip that if it happened in Philly they would blame the fans. Well why would that be? You said, "as a Philly fan I can only imagine the national outcry that would occur if the Philly fans booed the Conn Smythe. I guess when the fan base sucks like Florida it's ok though." Did you say this because of the incidents that everyone knows, or are there more contemporaneous examples we should be using? Please tell. I'm happy to update the national "philly fans are assholes' talking points if they need to be.pjhawks said:

I made the comment because I knew if it happened in Philly the moron media and apparently some moron fans would kill us for it and use the tired cliches of Philly fans. And you have 100 percent proved my point. Well done sirmrussel1 said:

Haha, touche. I guess that's markedly different than your super fresh, original take on hockey fans in the south. Great job with your OG thought as well. Doesn't your comment against the Panthers fans sort of prove the cliche of Philly fans, just a bit?pjhawks said:

Yeah but he did zilch in the stanley cup. He had 2 good games. They played 7. That to me outweighs his previous exploits. McJeezus should not have won.cutz said:

Not sure, but I do kinda like it better than the OG purple and green ones though. Although those were pretty solid jerseys I thought back in the day.tempo_n_groove said:
