Flyers fans voted most disruptive
ESPN.com polled 193 NHL players on all 30 teams on a variety of questions. One of them concerned which fans in the league were the most disruptive.

You know who won.

In a landslide.

Fully 24 percent of the players surveyed said that Flyers fans were the most disruptive fans in the league. Next closest were Montreal fans, who received 13 percent of the vote. Detroit, aka Hockeytown, got only 3 percent of the vote.

Maybe this will help the clowns on WIP comprehend that hockey is a big time sport in this city, and thus give it a little more air time. I am so SICK of hearing the non-stop Eagles talk and, even worse, the Sixers meriting discussion. Face the facts -- the Sixers stink and football season is over! Move on already!!

Umm burholme... if 25 of 193 are flyers, that is only about half the required votes to make 24 percent...

Most disruptive apparently doesn't translate into Stanley Cups. What is it, 33 years now?

About Rich Hofmann
Rich Hofmann arrived at the Daily News in 1980 for a job whose status was officially designated as "full-time, temporary." A senior at Penn at the time, he was hired to fill in on the copy desk during a staff illness. The notion of him covering the Eagles or being a columnist did not exist in anyone's imagination. It was supposed to be six weeks and out, but he never left. It is only one of the reasons why so many people have concerns about him as a potential house guest. Rich has blogged the postseasons of the Flyers and Eagles.
