I'll be blunt: I hate the Flyers. Can't stand them. I don't like the fact that I hate every Philadelphia team that exists, but I really really do, I can't help it.
Now at first, I was excited about Jagr's return to the NHL, but I slowly became uninterested and realized he, in my opinion, won't be nearly as good in the NHL as he used to be.
When I heard on TV he signed to the Flyers, my ears nearly popped off my head.
I feel that the Flyers signed him because they wanted a veteran, or someone to make them seem bigger and badder. I don't think he'll fit in well though, he won't look good in orange anyway.
For Jagr, he says he felt Philly was a good fit and all, but I, like many others, feel he signed for the extra million. As much as I despise Pittsburgh, he was meant to go back there. Now he's made an enemy of a whole lot of fans.
Where I go to college, there are plenty of Philly fans. ( In Lawrenceville NJ )
Many of the friends I have there that are Flyers fans don't like this signing as much as I don't. These are the ones that actually love hockey. Others, like my roommate who says he is a huge hockey fan but only watches because the majority of friends do and because there is a Philly team, thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread because he's a huge name on the team. He didn't even know who Jagr was prior to the signing.
