My first real memory of watching Philadelphia Flyers games was watching games on TV with my Dad when they played the Boston Bruins during the 1978 Conference Finals. Just before that, I had attended my very first sporting event in person, a Phillies game in late April of that same year for my eighth birthday.
I had taken a mild interest in sports before that because I was constantly around it. My Dad was always watching the Flyers on TV and was hilarious to be around when he was watching them. The yelling and screaming at the TV, screaming in to his hands to keep from yelling too loud.
