The Philadelphia Flyers earned perhaps their biggest win in more than a decade on Wednesday night, but that didn’t stop the Broad Street faithful from booing one of their own teams.
No, the boos weren’t for the Flyers, who earned a 1-0 overtime victory to edge out the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Instead, they went to the Phillies, who had a suite, as their game against the San Francisco Giants was postponed.

Members of the Phillies appeared on the jumbotron at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, and since the baseball team has one of the worst records in Major League Baseball, the boobirds were quite loud.
Philadelphia lost 10 games in a row before finally breaking the streak last Saturday, but that didn’t stop them from relieving Rob Thomson of his managerial duties.

Fortunately for the Flyers, showing the Phillies wasn’t a bad omen. Despite the ice being tilted for virtually the entire second, third and overtime period, Flyers goalie Dan Vladar stepped up to make 42 saves in a shutout, and Cam York scored the game-winning goal in overtime.
The Flyers will now face the Eastern Conference’s top seed: the Carolina Hurricanes, who swept the Ottawa Senators.
The Phillies’ 10-game skid was their longest since losing 11 in a row in 1999, and it’s a battle between them and their own NL East rivals, the New York Mets, for the worst record in baseball (owned by New York by just half a game).
