Get Used To It Philly

from Rich Hofmann of the Philadelphai News,

But when it isn’t even December and you have had four players suspended for on-ice stuff and the rest of the league combined has had only two, you know what people will think. When you lead the league in penalty minutes and majors, you know what people will think. When you are the Flyers, and even if you are so far removed from the old days that some current players are young enough to be the grandsons of some of the original Broad Street Bullies, well, you know.

You know what people will think - and the Flyers had better get used to it.

The whole “Hartnell was slowing down” argument makes me laugh. How many players run full speed into the boards? Everyone slows down at the last minute to take aim at the player they are targeting. Don’t make it seem like he was being virtuous in delivering a head shot to a guy on his knees.

Ya, how thoughtful of him.  “I’m going to slow up so that I don’t separate my own shoulder on the boards, and as an added benefit I will just concuss this guys head with my hip, rather than exploding it like a water melon.” Colin Campbell really makes you wonder sometimes (all the time)
