Unless you live in South Jersey, who cares about Philly fans? A few of them trek here for games, but not a huge amount. And they may have had a team of dirty goons in the past, but with a couple exceptions, their current makeup is a pretty likeable team, unfortunately.

I would wager 25%+ of the NYR fanbase lives in North Jersey. Trust me, if the Devils win, we hear it.
The Flyers and Islanders rivalries have cooled down in recent years. Fans who pick them are still living in the past.
Caps and Boston? When was the last time we had a rivalry with them?
The game changes. Keep up.
