from David Pollak of Working the Corners at the Mercury News, I can provide a little insight into why Flyers fans can get worked up into a frenzy at times: A videoboard operator who must be under orders to replay every perceived missed call that goes against the home team. Then replay it again. And again. And again. In the second period, cameras caught what appeared to be a high-stick by Benn Ferriero...

from Eric Stephens of Ducks Blog, Wisniewski said he got injured midway through the third period when Flyers forward Daniel Briere checked him while he was on the ice as the two went after a loose puck in the defensive zone. Days later, the hit still leaves the defender miffed at Briere. “He decided to finish his check while I’m lying on the ice,” Wisniewski said. “Well, my...
