   I'm curious which writer has the thing for the Philadelphia Flyers.   
   I'm a Flyers fan, so I've noticed a lot of Flyers-related jokes over   
   the years.  Like this episode's team being named the Bar Flyers (and   
   having orange uniforms) and Moe saying he used to work as a bartender   
   in the penalty box at the Spectrum.  Plus the voice work by Dave "The   
   Hammer" Schultz (sorry, DAVID "The Hammer" Schultz).   
      
   I was also amused that one of the teams in the little league hockey   
   tournament was the Toronto Maple Leafs.
