I've been to away games as a Pens fan in MSG, the Verizon Center in D.C., and Wells Fargo in Philly. Take a guess which one was the ONLY place I had a problem.
Was not aware that they changed the balk rule in baseball....thanks for the heads up! And by seniors, I meant I literally went with senior citizens (3 guys...65, 67 and 70). I didn't say anything bad about being blue collar....I come from a blue collar middle class family. There's just a larger percentage of working class people at Flyers games than anywhere else I've ever been for a hockey game and I think that drives the intensity of the arena. MSG is like 80% corporate clients so you aren't going to get that atmosphere. Pittsburgh is somewhere between NY and Philly in those regards.
And yes I'm an anti-dentite. I also club baby seals and push down women and children while running from fires.
Very well said. I am a Pens fan. If I went to a game in Philly, I would not wear any Pens stuff, for the same reasons you stated you didn't. Went to the game at Heinz Field last season. Sure, we chanted Philly sucks, but I would never be abusive to Flyers fans, or use abusive language. There was a Flyers fan in front of us with twin boys, about 7 years old, so we especially tried to be respectful. I doubt a Pens fan in Philly would get the same consideration.
Don't forget, though, that those teams were not true club teams from the Russian league. Both Russian teams had 3-4 players added from other teams in their league. Kinda like the Canadiens of those days adding Bobby Orr and Bobby Clarke to their roster.
Based on the agreement with the North American side, CSKA was reinforced with Alexander Maltsev, Valery Vasiliev (Dynamo Moscow) and Slava Solodukhin (SKA Leningrad). The Soviet Wings had four ringers from Moscow Spartak. The results of the series were sensational in a way that both sides were able to celebrate emotional victories. The Soviet clubs dominated over the NHL clubs with overall victory (5W-2L-1T). The NHL claimed that the face-off between the NHL and USSR Champions, Philadelphia vs. Red Army, was won by the North Americans. The same happened in the game between the leagues' vice champions when the Sabres won in Buffalo.

Interestingly, one of the logos the Red Army used later, as I recall, was a penguin....

Time for my story about going to a Pens-Flyers game in Philly. I went with my (grown) son, a big Pens fan, who wore his Malkin jersey but I dressed neutral. The Pens scored a goal and, I made the mistake of standing with my son when it happened. The guy behind me poured his beer on me. I really didn't understand it but he probably felt a 60-something wouldn't do anything about it and sadly, he was right.
You want intensity, watch the Caps-Jackets series....
I'm still a bit tired from Tuesday night--thankfully you can pretty much get anywhere in Columbus within 25 min, so we were in bed by around 1 am.
I have been watching it (and rooting for the BJ's)...... and that's what I was expecting from the Pens/Flyers......
I completely miss understood. I am now not offended!!!!
In that case one of seniors should have asked could they "f#%$ her c#nt#
I hate that PPG doesn't let you bang on the glass. Drives me nuts.
Don't feel bad about pushing women and kids. I did that yesterday multiple times. But if you are anti-dentite I cant be seen with ya!

Simmons has been a complete non-factor. He is always the guy that gives the Penguins fits. If I could take one guy from the Flyers and add him to the Pens, it would be Simmons. Imagine having him and Horny as your bangers in front of the net on both Power Play units? Definitely a guy you hate because he's on the other side, but one you would welcome with open arms to your team.
Simmons was mixing it up a lot last night and looking to agitate the Pens, which is nothing unusual. But our guys simply skated away every time. After nobody took the bait the first 2-3 times, he kind of gave up and was a complete non-factor the rest of the game.
If it wasn't my son's wedding I would knock your teeth out you SOB
So was I. I think the Flyers wore themselves out getting to the playoffs, while the pens know how to manage a season and the long grind it is.
And some of the comments that have been made that the Pens are old and the minutes played by their star players are bunk. Crosby looks fresh and he is playing less minutes in the blowout wins (and losses). The Pens have some very young players that get big minutes, such as Maatta, Dumoulin, Runt......, and their "old" players are not very old - Letang and Crosby are only 30.
This thread is way too complicated. The Pens are a MUCH better team than the Flyers. I don't believe for a second that surprises anyone. The Pens were going to win this in 5 or 6 from the start. Philly doesn't have the goaltending needed to beat a team like Pittsburgh. Nor do they have the offense or defensive core but goaltending trumps all. Same reason why smart money will be on Pittsburgh (if they advance) to beat Columbus or Washington. Bobrovsky's nightmare is playing the Pens and the Holtby/Grubauer platoon isn't good enough to steal 2 games.
In theory, anyone can beat anyone...often times it's just very unlikely.

Well, the Golden Knights finished with 109 points and allowed 22 fewer goals than the Pens. They just swept the Kings as well. Just amazing for an expansion team. I expect them to give the Sharks some real trouble.
Fleury's issue was never and will never be performing on the big stage. His problem was a weak defensive system that consistently hung him out to dry. What he did against the Kings wasn't surprising. That's the goalie he always was. A goalie can only bail out a defense so many times. Fleury's performance during the 2017 playoffs proves this as well.
Disagree 100%.
The NHL owners allowed their teams to be fleeced when Vegas entered the league.
If they'd been forced to follow the 'traditional' role of expansion teams, Vegas would probably NOT have been competitive at all until year 4 - 5.
With my best Langer rasp ... Its a Hockey Night in Pittsburgh!
Times are good for fans of the Pens. We are so spoiled.
Sorry Philly it is just not your time. Better luck to the Flyers next time. The Devils and Jackets knew what they were doing in game #82 of the season.

My opinion is that most Pens fans are decent people and great fans. Unfortunately, you don't seem to be one of them.
I don't know about PSUHusky, but Lion8286 was banned for being too cordial.
Welcome to America, where we all have a right to an opinion. However, speaking as one who has attended many games for the Flyers, even at the Spectrum, I know of what I speak.
I'm afraid it screams "blue collar".
About 4 years ago, a Flyers/Pens game in Philly was on national tv. There was a pic of a young lady, maybe 24, who lifted her shirt to show an arrow pointed to her nether regions, and written on her abdomen was "Crosby is a..." with the arrow pointing to the answer.
I thought about that young lady's parents and cringed.
You just classified a huge section of the city and half of the State of NJ as uneducated. That doesn't seem like a very intelligent opinion, but whatever fits your agenda I guess. Not to mention that Flyers fans are spread out across much of the city and suburbs.
Just because it's an opinion, doesn't make it correct.
I know very well where Flyers fans come from. I lived in that city for a number of years, and I bet I attended more of their home games than you did.
I guess it doesn't matter. I haven't admittedly been to a Flyers' game in Philly in at least 5 years. Maybe they are all Penn grads at their games these days.
Or, maybe not.

She smells like a dead fish.
Sis would never go there.

I find it funny what some people's moral compass is.
I'd rather have that as a daughter than some nerd on his phone that has no clue what is going on. But maybe I'm just too blue collar so I'm uneducated.
