When right winger Arron Asham was signed as a free agent two summers ago, many looked at him as just another tough guy in the Flyers' lineup, someone who, while with the New Jersey Devils, slugged it out with Riley Cote in a memorable 2007 fight.
It's always a joy to see hockey brawlers as fairly rounded individuals. Even if most of their interests involve the infliction of pain in some form, be it practicing MMA fights or bringing a tattoo needle down on someone's skin. Still, definitely shows the guy is more than one dimensional. Besides, anyone versed in violence willing to put his mark on you with something other than his teeth, like teammate...
As the NHL season progresses, I like to track the player who is getting regular ice time who has been the worst in the league. Last season, it was Riley Cote of the Philadelphia Flyers who “won” this award. He was a player who regularly dressed in Philadelphia, but played in limited ice time against weak competition and nevertheless rarely scored, while allowing opponents to control the...
Flyers Notes After they were healthy scratches in the first three games, wingers Riley Cote and Arron Asham were in the Flyers' lineup last night against the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins.
It would be easy for Riley Cote to take this year's Flyers training camp for granted. He has been entrenched with the team for the last two full seasons.
With the regular season eight days away, the Flyers have interesting roster decisions ahead of them. Impressive rookie wingers James van Riemsdyk and Mika Pyorala are close to making the roster, prompting the question of whether popular enforcer Riley Cote is in jeopardy.
FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! At least, not tonight. Hilariously, on Twitter Archimedies has seen people asking if Kessel will be playing tonight. For now we'll have to live with the guys after the jump. The Leafs' top four defencemen will be in the lineup tonight along with their nominal number one goalie. Public Enemy # 1 (for now) will not be dressed because Colton Orr got the call. Chris Pronger...

from Jim Cerny’s Rink Rap, This Flyers team is going to be an absolute bitch to play against this year, adding Pronger and Laperriere to the rugged and abrasive group that consists of Daniel Carcillo, Scott Hartnell, Riley Cote, Arron Asham, and Braydon Coburn. But like the Broad Street Bully Flyers of the mid-’70’s, this group is not just filthy. They are filthy good. The team toughness...

Joel Rechlicz is back in Bridgeport now, but the 21-year-old heavyweight finally got the chance he needed to demonstrate his potential as an NHL enforcer and passed the test against Philadelphia's Riley Cote gloriously Saturday night at the Coliseum. The referees allowed their second-period donnybrook to go the distance, and after an even exchange of heavy blows in the early going, Rechlicz took control...
