Jersey Devils fans have a really hard time understanding why anyone would root for a non-Jersey hockey team, like the Flyers, if you could just route for the Devils. It’s a good question…

Enough of the Jersey population lives close enough to Pennsylvania or New York that they end up being die hard fans for the football teams of New York and Philadelphia. But regardless of who you root for, you have little to no time for fans that root against your team.
