From Sam Carchidi:

The Flyers will give out light-up anniversary bracelets to fans. The last time they gave out similar bracelets, about 100 fans littered the ice with them during the third period of the Flyers’ 6-1 playoff loss to Washington.

Bold move, Flyers. Bold move. We all remember what happened last time. Maybe it’s best to just to set us up for success and rather than handing out plastic projectiles, give everyone a soft, cushiony rally towel or pillow. This is Philly, and if there’s one thing we like better than defending ourselves, it’s ironically perpetuating our own stereotypes. All it takes is one knucklehead to start reigning down an ungodly fucking firestorm of wristbands and then you have Lou Nolan scolding us again and a bunch of talking heads bashing Philly for having not known better. I’m not sure I see the upside here, unless we just want to make this an octopus thing, in which case I’m fine with it.
