Philadelphia Flyers vs. the NHL: the Battle is on!

Today marks the fourth time that a Philadelphia Flyers player was suspended this season. Scott Hartnell will be held off the ice for two games following his hit last night on Boston’s Andrew Alberts. I’m not going to sit here and debate the length of the suspension, since I believe it’s basically a moot point that two games is horribly short. What needs to be shown though, is the proof that we have a new incarnation of the Broad Street Bullies.

Here is the score as of today:

Philadelphia: 49

Rest of the NHL: 23 (and that’s counting Mark Bell)

Is that something to be proud of in Philly? The Flyers are almost making it their job to get suspended.

You can credit ingenious commenter Nick for the idea.
