Rangers and Flyers fans brawl in stands during New York's Game 6 loss at Philadelphia

[Betallsports]

The Rangers had a chance to wrap up their first-round playoff series against Flyers on Tuesday night. They got worked over in a 5-2 loss that forced tonight’s decisive Game 7 at Madison Square Garden.


By the looks of some videos that are going viral this morning, it was a rough night for some Blueshirts fans, too.


In what is breaking news to no one, Rangers fans and Flyers fans don’t like each other. Mix in a blowout, possibly some alcohol, and well, you get this:

According to Deadspin, a couple of Rangers fans got a little overzealous with their taunts through the course of the game. The NY Daily News said the fight was in section 209 in the waning minutes of the game.



Here’s another angle of the skirmish:

The Rangers and Flyers have a long, storied history of disliking each other, as do their fans. At the 2012 Winter Classic, Flyers fans were videoed pummeling Rangers fans, knocking out one who was an off-duty police officer.


So much for this being The City of Brotherly Love.

As a Rangers fan I would have gotten the hell out of there after Simmons hat trick. The guy was asking for it. Suck it up and take the beating(on the ice) like a man.

Now back to Garden ice and hopefully an easy win.

no chance of it being easy.

Yea, you're probably right but I can hope. Time for Lundqvist to earn his "crown".

New York fan fared about as well as could be expected.

Seems like a normal fight for them.

Not proud of this as a die hard Flyers fan. Yes the kid supposedly was being a douche all game long but like you said beat 'em on the ice.

NYR will be tough tonight I know that, I expect Lundy to play much better and Mason will need to be a beast again, we ain't getting a trick from anyone in NY.

This is why I don't wear visitors jerseys at other venues. There is always some douchebag looking to start shit.

BTW, how could the Ranger fan be taunting anyone? They were behind the entire game.

We used to get in the odd scrap at the Aud in Buffalo when we wore Bruins shirts. But these days, you never know who is carrying.

Hope no Philly fans are in team gear acting up the way this game is going. Could be some revenge YouTube vids coming out

In the corporate village called Madison Square Garden? Not gonna happen.
