As my friend John Gonzalez likes to put it, Flyers fans are special. It's hard to argue. They packed the Skate Zone in lovely Vorhees, NJ when the lockout first ended and thousands of them will pack into the Wells Fargo Center tonight to watch the orange and black practice. We are indeed talking about practice.
The open skate coverage will be televised on Comcast SportsNet and streamed online for those outside of the Delaware Valley.
So, Flyers fans. Who is excited to tune in and watch practice?

As an aside, this photo of Claude Giroux's name being pained on the Flyers Captain's wall is pretty damn cool.
