Syntax said:Is it just me or have the Phili Flyers taken a chapter out of the Anaheim Ducks style of play during last year. What I mean to say is that this year their team has become a lot more physical to the point where it seems that their players are there to take out and or injure others by checking those who may not have the puck etc..
Honestly, I'm sick of people saying this. I know Syntax is a smart guy, but I hate people who think every hit is dirty just cause someone gets hurt. Ok, Downie's hit on McAmmond I'm pretty sure he hit with his shoulder even though he left his feet. Plus Downie was trying to make the team and stuff, but he's still an idiot. Boulerice, that was a bad hit he deff. shouldnt have done that, but what pisses me off is people coming at Randy Jones.
Randy Jones hit Patrice Bergeron into the boards, and everyone said he's a dirty player which is bull. He is a stand up guy, and the only reason the hit was so bad is because instead of cycling through around the net like you're supposed to, or bracing INTO the boards, Boulerice STOPPED SHORT of the boards. Jones wasn't ready for it so all he could do was brace himself and since Boulerice was stopping his head was lower, plus i think he's shorter than jones, and jones accidentally pushed his head into the boards. Anyone who cant realize this is just a hater. The Flyers arent as dirty as you think.
