I honestly don't think he'll do anything. But if he does, I wonder how many people will praise him for giving Philly what they deem it deserves. He could go from the most hated man in the NHL to a God in the eyes of some people.
 
I think he'll just go from the 2nd most hated man in the NHL (after Chris Pronger, who sadly is talented unlike Downie) to...the most hated man in the AHL.
 
It'll be interesting to see the Flyers faithful's reaction if he leaves his feet to hit someone. Will they ask for a suspension? Will they complain? Will they cheer? Will they boo? Should be fun to watch.
 
I could care less about Downie right now, TB needs a win. They always play well against Philly, so hopefully it will come tonight. Glad to see the Gambler has Stamkos and Vrbata going, but now we need Vinny, Marty, and the big names to score too.
 
Cote on Downie tonight:

Asked about the possibility that ex-Flyer Steve Downie, now playing with the Bolts, might decide to enact some revenge for being traded, Cote said, “Downs plays with a chip on his shoulder and that’s a great thing. He plays hard. I don’t think any of us has spent any time worrying about what he might do … If something needs to be dealt with, we’ve got guys on the bench to take care of that … If he wants to prove a point, we’ll prove a point back.”

I look foward to it. I miss Downie on the Flyers, but he made too many costly mistakes. Plus it was a bargain to get Carle.
 
That cycle for the Tampa PP looked promising...1-1 on the Recchi goal.

Asham v. Smolanek

Asham with the take down, but pretty uneventful.
 
Definitely a bad boarding on Upshall, left his feet. I don't think it warrants a suspension, but who knows these days.
 
Biron is a stupid? First of all, the grammar there does it all. Secondly, what exactly is stupid? He didn't mean to mishandle the puck.

If you read my previous post, I said the edit button was not working! When you type fast, you have an error once in a while.
 
Well i still want to know what was "stupid" about it. Like I said, I don't believe he intentionally decided to bobble the save and leave it right out there.
