Philly fans trash Canadian's car

[TZ]

PHILADELPHIA -- This, perhaps, was not the best way to treat a visitor.

When veteran Montreal hockey writer Pat Hickey went out to his car after Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Sunday night, he found that fans had covered his car with trash, slashed one of the tires and stolen his Quebec license plates.

Curiously, they also ripped a bug guard off the front of the car, a 1999 Honda Accord with about 351,000 miles on it.

Way to live down to a reputation there...:eyes:

1. Well, a city that cheers Michael Vick...

...surprised this is all they did.

2. The Habs fans don't do that shit.

They don't care whose car they're burning. :)

3. Time for the Habs faithful to retaliate

although it'd be hard to top the stunt one of them pulled the last time the two teams met in a playoff series. Then, one or more Montreal fans snuck up to the famous Rocky statue at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and dressed it in La Sainte Flannel!

5. That's excellent! It's too bad that sports/fan pranks can't all be like that

But, I guess it's more fun to just smash something...

8. Oh yeah that series...

I think that picture pretty much tells the story :evilgrin:

But for the record, I don't condone damaging and stealing the property of opposing fans-or rioting every time you win a playoff series.

4. Did they steal his binoculars too? n/m

6. Makes me proud to come from that special place.

Was at a concert at The Spectrum (James Gang, Boston and Foghat) in '74. Three people died in various ways (including a swan dive from the catwalk) and the crowd booed at the inevitable delay. Just special. Oh well. 2-0 Flyers in the 3rd.

7. Sixers fans toasted the Bullets' team bus one year. nt
