That was the verdict from the majority of Flyers fans, who have often given their home barn a hostile atmosphere for visiting teams over the years but seem to have lost their passion for the rink itself. Xfinity’s lowest scores were reserved for atmosphere and affordability, both likely somewhat related to the Flyers’ five-season playoff drought.
