Uh-oh, Flyers are a member of the Black & Gold Hockey Group "Original Six" (or 14, whatever) ... the favorite teams of the original members who formed the group in it's inaugural season,

. There's also that little matter of the '95 Stanley Cup Finals,

. You may have just committed a bit of a faux-pas,

... but it's always open enrollment in the Group, even for Devils fans,

.

Battle of the Turnpike, round #1, goes to NJ. Congrats,

.

I did kinda' warm up to the Devils when they originally got Parise (MN), though.

Unlike some other Devils fans, I don't have any hatred for the Flyers. I absolutely loathe the Rangers. But, not so much the Flyers.

I only knew two other Devils fans in LA, and they were New Jersey natives working at the plant with me. They have since transferred leaving me surrounded by Flyers and Red Wings fans.

Sorry, by LA I meant Louisiana, not Los Angeles.

Oh, I'm sorry!

No worries. I imagine both places are rather lonely for Devils fans.
