Wayne Simmonds Keeps on Going

After another gallant Flyers comeback, after the scrums, the penalties, the coaches standing atop the boards and shouting insults as if they were Jerry Springer guests, winger Wayne Simmonds looked like a boxer who had been soundly beaten in a 15-round fight.

His right eye was so swollen on Sunday afternoon that he could barely open it.

The eye problem had more to do with his taking a puck to the face on Saturday – and scoring a goal on the play, no less – than with his late-game bout with Pittsburgh’s Deryk Engelland.
