The Flyers are unbelievably dirty

Exhibit A:


Exhibit B:


Exhibit C:



That's one crosscheck to the face, a player jumping to hit a guy up high, and now a player drilling another after staring at his back numbers the entire time. The kicker is that all three incidents occurred within a span of just 32 days. I don't think I've ever witnessed a single team open the season with (what will be) three suspensions for such malicious nonsense. This is getting to the point where the organization itself should be penalized either through fines or loss of draft picks because its pretty evident that several of their players simply don't respect the game and don't respect their fellow participants. Those antics don't belong in this game, and it is time the NHL makes sure the Flyers understand that.

one of those was preseason which makes it even more crazy - who runs a star player in a preseason game?! - i think they are trying to be edgy, especially as a way to put it in the mind of people that they can't be pushed around which should help protect guys like briere

but this has gone a little far - the suspension have been in line and the flyers cut one of the guys

read in the republic this morning that they have been put on notice by the league that any further head shot incidents will not only earn the player a suspension but will result in disciplinary action against the organization .............. whatever that means
