Wayne to Flyers fans
“Give me a couple of boos. It's only right, especially in Philadelphia. The fan base is just so passionate. To me, it would kind of be an honor to be booed. It's kind of crazy to say”#Flyers pic.twitter.com/5sH2cDEL2O
Simmonds signed a one-year deal with the Devils in the off season.
