If the Flyers win the Stanley cup, will the fans riot and burn Philadelphia down to the ground?

They already almost did it when the Phillies won a few years ago. Can you imagine the reaction if the Flyers make another comeback to win the Stanley cup just like after comming back from 0-3 with the Bruins. What do you think will happen? and why?

Update:

CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE WHAT THE FLYERS FANS IN PHILLY WILL DO??

    Maybe some small time rioting will appear but that is probably it..

    Celebrations broke out all over the city in 08 when the Phillies won the World Series. None of these celebrations could even remotely be classified as riots. I was there. I wasn't watching the slanted ESPN coverage. We have tough, passionate fans that know how to support our teams. Some take it too far, but that happens in every city. By and large, we are just out to have a good time.

    sure!!! they have the main suitable danger what have they completed recently fior Philadelphia, lots, it particularly is the two the flyers or vancouver canucks there particularly reliable, the Flyers have the main suitable offense contained in the league in the back of Pittsburgh, the Flyers have the 2d maximum suitable protection , pronger and timonen, and have an remarkable rookie goalie, the canucks have a poor offense!!! however the main suitable protection contained in the league with an amzing goalie, I say stanley cup flyers take it in game 7 over the canucks

    I already filled a couple of gas cans, collected a nice pile of softball sized rocks. Joe and I are going to meet at the steps of city hall and give it to the first cop car we see.

    There were 76 people arrested out of the 5 million people at the parade in 2008. The numbers were comparable on the night they won as well. I will put that percentage up against any other city's championship celebration.

    Congratulations, you know how to take what you see/hear on TV and report it in writing. Nothing goes on in this city that doesn't go on in other cities when a team wins a championship. In 2008 the Phillies broke a 100(4 combined teams) Philadelphia championship winless drought. In LA they riot when the Lakers win a championship, In Montreal they riot after their team wins a playoff series, in New York they riot when the Giants win the Super Bowl. They barely did any damage to the city after the Phillies won in 2008, nor will they if the Flyers win it this year. Take your head out of your *** and educate yourself, it's easy to give into the media hype. BTW, the quality of your questions are getting worse and worse, you need to step it up.

    Scott(nitwit) - You're barely telling the truth, I have never seen the city riot when they've lost a championship. Learn something, bye.

    We almost burned the city to the ground when the Phils won the WS in 08? 76 arrests were made and 10 businesses were damaged..doesn't sound like burning the city to the ground but just believe everything you read..

    No we won't burn the city to the ground, even though the media and fans like to portray us an animals, we are human and we do like to celebrate when(If) our favorite team wins a Title, just like they do in NY, Chicago, Montreal LA Detroit etc..

    They will burn it down either way, either in excitement or rage.
