Flyers Fans Trying To Raise $750 Mil To Buy Pens

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Some Flyers fans are chomping at the bit now that the owners of the Penguins are looking to sell.

Yahoo Sports reports that some Philly fans set up a GoFundMe page to try to raise the $750 million the Penguins will reportedly ask for.

Behind the whole thing is a hockey blog called "The Orange and Black Pack."

"Well, we're gonna buy em! We are the Orange and Black Pack, a dedicated Flyers hockey blog. We figure since the Flyers already figuratively own the Penguins, their fans might as well literally own them," they say on the GoFundMe page.

They also have some plans for what will happen if they get the $750 million, including painting the inside of CONSOL orange and black, painting Flyers logos on the parking spots and posting "a giant photo of Claude Giroux on the outside of the building, facing the highway."

The one good thing though is that if they don't reach their goal, they money they do raise will go to charity.
