Ever Wanted to Punch a Senator?
Published by Julia Volkovah under chris pronger, Flyers on 8:33 AMCrossingBroad - For only the second time in his NHL career, Jeff Carter got into a fight. Well, it wasn't so much a fight as it was what happens when your Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em robots would get stuck together and feverishly pounding on the buttons did nothing more than get them even more tangled than they already were.
His was one of just many last night. Claude Giroux, Scott Hartnell, Sean O'Donnell, and Jody Shelley all threw down in what was a wild third period. The Flyers won 6-2, but this game was all about the fights.
Our friends at Crossing Broad have this covered perfectly. Nice to see the old school Broad Street Bullies style in town last night. Great game for Flyers fans. Pronger returned, they won by 4 goals and extended their points lead over Pittsburgh, and a bunch of 5 minute fighting majors were handed out.
Check out the above video for the fight-night recap. Especially around the 2-minute mark when Shelly v. Neil starts.
