text: Actually, Perfessor (How are you?), people love to hate them! The Flyers have been, for as long as I can recall, a bunch of huge brutes (very talented brutes, mind you) that have been near, or at the top of hockey. I respect them - but my allegiance to the NY Blueshirts prevents me from doing any more than that. I don't hate them, though. Those that do hate them are probably just jealous, especially in Toronto. Can you imagine... a team from Philly consistently kicking the butts of a team from the birthplace of hockey. Oh, the humanity of it all!
