Philadelphia at Washington 2/1/13

Mark Messier would have been proud of that elbow. That's a major, gamer, ans suspension. But no, the ref doesn't even call it? Really? I'm confused, I really am. Then they throw out 2 guys who fought because the puck didn't drop. Wow, just.....wow.

Win Rinaldo, he was pissed and probably hurt his and more than Hendricks but easy win still.

Horrible cheap shot by Erskine, that the Flyers need to address in the next meeting with these guys.

Good to see Rinaldo throwing with intent there, even if he wasn't landing much. It sucks they were thrown out, since where they were lined up, they couldn't probably see that the puck wasn't dropped before they fought.

Why the **** is everybody so surprised that they got tossed? It's been a rule for years.

everyone was more or less pissed cuz the refs did like a fake puck drop before that fight happened. But even tho its a rule and has been it still pisses everyone off as it should. Its a sign of things that things are still going down hill for hockey

While I think it's pointless to complain about a rule that's been in place for years (minus the instigator because of how inconsistently it's called) I get where your coming from. It seems like the refs are doing the false faceoff **** a lot this year. Don Cherry is dead on when it comes to the officials.

Win Rinaldo

Bottom line is the team has too many young guys, small skill players and euros to not be dressing a heavy every night. Ideally Jody, Sestito and Rinaldo should be suiting up nightly.

Fedetenko is an absolute complete waste of space with no role that I can wrap my mind around.

Wow, that was a major league elbow by Erskine. Just a dirty play. And what a pathetic response by Philly. You can't blame Rinaldo too much though...Erskine would have beat the sh!t out of him.

Rinaldo gets the win over Hendricks, but Erksine gets away scott free. Flyers fans have got to be angry about that glaring lack of response.
