Philadelphia Flyers humor

So during the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, a guy from the Washington Post ran an op-ed talking about how bloodthirsty and uncivilized Philadelphia Flyers fans are.  (To be fair...we are.)  One of the comments he made went something like:

"The average Flyers fan looks like they could be working as bouncers at a Megadeth concert, and I'm just talking about the women and the children."

Imagine my amusement, then, when what did I find on the Flyers website today but the following:

Unfortunately, we're currently down 3 games to none in a best-of-seven series against the vile Pittsburgh Penguins, and even I must predict that we are done like dinner.

Stupid Sidney Crosby.

Watching Game 4 just now, a promo spot for the Flyers just aired.  And had you been in my livingroom, you would've heard me yell:

"HOLY ^$#@!$% THAT'S DAVE MUSTAINE!" 

Wearing a Flyers jersey.

And cheering on my (unfortunately done like dinner) beloved hockey team.

"Hey Philadelphia, my name is Dave Mustaine and I'm the lead singer of Megadeth. I read what they said about you in the Washington Post and I'm here to tell you that you can work security for me anytime."

(See, I was such a little headbanger in my high school days, that I'm just losing it right now.  :-))

That is just too cool.  Thanks Dave, you rule.
