RIP Mr. Snider. I don't think we will truly and fully understand what a gift you were until a some time passes.

Best owner the city ever had, best fan the Flyers ever had or ever will.

Sad news, Philly fans.

After watching you guys end the season and in honor of Mr. Snider, I am officially changing my postseason plans and rooting for the Flyers this year.

My favorite Ed Snider story...

I remember Rod telling that story and laughing but knowing it was true Mr Snider. He was definitely one of the best owners and the players and fans are always going to call him Mr. Snider. He earned that.

That Brindy story is awesome

Keith Jones told the story of the 1999 playoff loss to the Leafs, when LeClair got called for the penalty at the end of the elimination game.

Jonesy says after the game Snider told him they got hosed by the refs, and to "Say whatever you want. I'll pay the fine."

Afterwards, Snider joked to Jones that Jones owed him. After all Jonesy only got fined $2 grand. Ed got hit for $50K

Correct. Awful, awful call.

Indeed.

The story of him going after Bryan Lewis after the Leon Stickle play in 1980 is even better

Nashville and Philly end the season with identical 41-27-14 records. Two very different teams staring down the barrel of a tough playoff matchup.

poop it wasn't Bryan Lewis, it was Scotty Morrison

"Anybody who's impartial knows we took a screwing today. The officials who come out of Montreal and Toronto don't want us to win . . . The problem with this league is (supervisor) Scotty Morrison. He should be shot."

that's really a trip

teams that on paper should be way ahead of the flyers are tied with them or very few points ahead
