Everyone is ripping on the penguins.
Way to go Tortorella!

I finally can agree with torts about something. that hit is Bush league and an obvious intent to injure. Maybe the league can finally understand what got the Flyers all worked up against the pens in the last meeting. Two flyers get hurt in that game, a ranger goes down in their game against them and two coaches go off snapping on Bylsma? See the smoke? Sure there is fire somewhere in the neighborhood!

any footage of the hit?

[Where's the O?]

Just to recap the pens last 3 games...

Phi V Pit -- Vitale hit knee-to-knee on Grossman (injury)

Pit V Bos -- Asham hit knee-to-knee on Boychuk (injury)

NYR V Pit -- Orpik hit knee-to-knee on Stepan (injury)

Bounty? I guess that's one way to tilt the scale in your favor going into the playoffs. Or it could just be a coincidence

no idea if he even has a time table for return

jesus christ, I think its obvious the penguins are coached to do this knee thing. I watched the Stepan video, and you can clearly see him lunge his knee forward. Checked youtube, and found ANOTHER example:

in the replay you see him clearly poke out his knee

Stepan video for reference, same thing evident:

Since tomorrow has now become meaningless standings wise, the flyers should call up some goons from the phantoms and just have some fun.

As I said, time for some AHL and ECHL players to get some NHL experience.....

Either way that was the best 20K spent in the NHL this year....that's probably the only time I've ever liked Tortarello!

I hate torts but he hit the nail on the head. Sidney "cry baby" Crosby and geno "magically misses penalty time" Malkin have benefited from bettman. We honestly have to be careful of suspension if we ever so slightly **** these guys up a little today. I can see it now bettman is calling shanahan right now and telling him to get the papers ready to screw us for the playoffs.
