Flyers Fans Embarrassed the City of Philadelphia!
Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports
Other then the Flyers embarrassing performance on the ice, the Flyers fans in attendance were the talk after the game and not for anything positive. Late in the third period, when the game was pretty much over some idiot fans started throwing the light-up memorial bracelets that were left on each of the seats for the fans to have before the game. This was a bracelet to honor Mr. Snider. The fans had also received T-Shirts as well, I'm superseded that none of those idiots threw those onto the ice. This was just another black eye on the city of Philadelphia. The idiots that threw the bracelets are a disgrace to the city of Philadelphia and shouldn't be allowed to attend a game ever again. I get the fans were frustrated but don't throw anything on the ice that could hurt somebody. One of the bracelets actually did hit a Brooks Orpik as he was getting medical threatment after getting hit by Ryan White. To make things worse the fans booed Orpik too after the hit. During the singing of God Bless America some idiots yelled out F**K the Penguins.

Flyers fans will be watching the game, but HBO will be re-airing its "Broad Street Bullies" documentary Saturday at 8 p.m. A must-watch.

Nittwitts who threw stuff act like idiots when they don't get what they want. Definition of childish behavior and acting like a fool.

Everyone in Philly is ashamed of fans throwing stuff. Well, except for Ryan White. He’d throw stuff too! https://t.co/yt29m6O77e
