Yahoo! Sports says that when the Rangers and Flyers take the ice this afternoon no one will need to remind Philly of what happened in their last visit to Madison Square Garden on Jan. 16 when Sean Avery one punched Matt Carle and Brandon Prust blasted Kimmo Timonen into the boards in the closing seconds of the Flyers 3-2 win.
Danny Briere took a swing at Prust from the Flyers bench after the hit on Timonen and was fined $1,000.
Peter Laviolette said this after the game…
“I think what’s frustrating is we had lots of guys that wanted to have a little dance with Avery but he wouldn’t respond,” Laviolette said. “That’s what’s frustrating about the whole thing. He goes after Matt Carle. I don’t think he has any fights in his whole career. We’ve got lots of guys that wanted to do it, (Avery) just didn’t want to respond.”
Yahoo! says to expect the Flyers to dress enforcer and former Ranger Jody Shelley and agitator Dan Carcillo.
…good, I hope the Flyers come in more concerned about Avery and Prust than beating the Rangers. Amazing how Avery after all these years is still able to get under teams’ skin.
…and who are the Flyers to say anything about Avery fighting Carle? Do those guys even remember Carcillo fighting Gaborik?
