Philadelphia Flyers honor founder Ed Snider with banner, memorial

PHILADELPHIA -- The Flyers honored founder Ed Snider before Game 3 of the playoffs against the Washington Capitals in their first home game since his death last week.

There were reminders of Snider on Monday night all around the Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers hung a banner outside the arena with Snider's picture and the caption "A Flyer Forever." His silhouette was inside the Flyers logo for the customary playoff T-shirt giveaway, and some fans left flowers and cards at a makeshift memorial next to the team flag.

"EMS" -- initials for Edward Malcolm Snider -- were painted on the ice behind each net.
