1 2 3 4 yeah the fly guys come knockin at your door

celerywench: KNOCK KNOCK
intomorning: Who's there?
meiface: That would be the Philadelphia Flyers.

God, I have been trying to make this post forever but I keep getting overwhelmed with feelings or distracted by vids so bear with me here - there might be a lot of words and words are hard.

( Under the cut is a gazillion more reasons I love the Flyers beyond how much the obnoxious orange has grown on me. WARNING: THIS POST IS MEDIA HEAVY. )

So I'm going to start with the super shippy vid just to convince all you non-hockey people to give this a shot, yes, maybe? If you watch no other vid in this post, watch this one:

( The Brioux Family )

( Claude Giroux, easily about 50% of this post. )

( Danny Briere )

( Scott Hartnell )

( Brayden Schenn )

( Sean Couturier )

( Jaromir Jagr )

( Max Talbot )

( & Co. )

( Ilya Bryzgalov )

( Laviolette )

( In conclusion... )

This post made possible with the enthusiastic cheerleading and link-finding of celerywench and the love of 2naonh3_cl2 who started it all. ♥
