When Laperiere got hit in the head and was gushing blood during the NJ series, some of their fans were cheering. Nice. I've been to Shea numerous times when I lived in NJ, and saw some of the worst behaved fans I've ever seen. Fights would break out every 5 minutes or so. I've been to Flyers and Eagles games, and there are always a few idiots, but Philly fans are no worse than most other major metro city fans. Heck, the Chicago fans are guilty of cheering through our National Anthem, which is nearly treason.

Yes, the Flyers played better in the playoffs than in the regular season but the magic wore off toward the end. Carter had an easy shot to win it and took the collar, and he was pretty much worthless in the playoffs. He is their leading scorer, but he also takes way too many shots (led the league I believe) when he could carry it in deep and set up a play instead of firing a perimeter shot that any goalie can stop without any trouble.
