Flyers winger Riley Cote recently became the fifth Flyer to be suspended this year, and the NHL has warned the team to stop hitting players in the head with sticks.
Let’s just quote the rest:
Scott Hartnell on Nov. 26 - Hartnell was suspended for two games for a dangerous hit on Boston’s Andrew Alberts, who was kneeling on the ice.
Randy Jones on Oct. 27 - Jones was banned for two games for hitting Boston’s Patrice Bergeron while chasing the puck. Bergeron suffered multiple injuries, including a concussion that has kept him sidelined.
Jesse Boulerice on Oct. 10 - Boulerice received a league-record 25-game suspension for cross-checking Vancouver’s Ryan Kesler across the neck.
Steve Downie on Sept. 25 - Downie was suspended for 20 games for a leaping shoulder hit to the head of Ottawa’s Dean McAmmond in an exhibition game.
And now the team is fighting itself at practice. Looks like things are slowly getting back to normal.
