Elsewhere.
Philadelphia lost to Montreal tonight, but they made news up north anyway. The original article is here, though it's more an editorial than a news story.

Goon culture lingers in Philly, by Hugh Adami.
Despite suspensions, Flyers take hammer to Broad Street Bullies tag, Canadian Press.
Naturally, MK feels otherwise.
"They're isolated events," said Flyers forward Mike Knuble.
Still, they woke up Thursday morning to find a story with the headline "Goon Culture Lingers in Philly" in a local newspaper, which reflects a growing suspicion that intimidation is once again part of the Philadelphia game plan.
"I think it's comical," added Knuble. "We saw the article and we all got a chuckle out of it.
"It's like the team is promoting a mentality to brainwash players into doing things on the ice. Those are incidents where they all happened to be wearing the same uniform. It's unfortunate they happened, especially the last one. No one feels worse about it than Randy.
"But there's no underlying thing going on here."

Knees? Goalies? What?
Yeah, I just like to make myself laugh sometimes. I don't know of any other goalies who've had knee problems.
Anyway, Jordan Sigalet should be in view tomorrow evening, subbing in for Manny Fernandez. Not new news, just my last post for the day. We know how I love the underdogs.
And Michigan/Ohio grads.

Esrever ni klat s'tel.
Four days later, even people who don't really watch the Bruins are still talking about it.
Randy Jones earned only a two-game suspension. The heck?
It was announced post-game that Patrice has a concussion and a broken nose, and, amazingly, nothing else immediately appears to be wrong. Though time will tell. And concussions can suck.
Jones issued an apology during the game, read by Rob Simpson. So you knew he knew he did wrong.
It took fifteen minutes that seemed like more to stabilize Patrice, cutting away part of his pads and uniform, and get him off the ice. That "I'm okay" wave you were hoping for through the applause didn't come.
So Saturday afternoon Philadelphia Flyer Randy Jones clocked Patrice Bergeron, sending him face-first into the boards. If you saw the game, you saw Patrice go unconscious. It was beyond disturbing. Paul Kariya, Steve Moore, Patrice. I'm set with that. I never want to see someone pass out on the ice again.
