Tony DeAngelo Given the second chance, maybe even more

DeAngelo has had some on and off the ice issues, making him a not so well-liked player, from other players and the media. Let's talk about a few of those incidents.

On January 1, 2017, while with the Phoenix Coyotes, DeAngelo was suspended for three games for physical assault of a referee during a 4�2 loss to the Calgary Flames the day before. The incident occurred towards the end of the second period, when DeAngelo was being steered away from a scrum and shoved away the official's hands.

Despite serving on the top defensive pair with the New York Rangers with Marc Staal, Coach Quinn benched DeAngelo for two games in a row due to what he said was a "maturity issue" stemming from a game against the Philadelphia Flyers.[35] DeAngelo was also part of a high-profile incident in which he knocked Kyle Okposo of the Buffalo Sabres unconscious in the third period of a 6�2 Ranger's victory. Okposo was later diagnosed with his third concussion in as many years. On opening night of the 2020�21 season, DeAngelo took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that Quinn called "undisciplined", and he was subsequently benched for the second game of the season. General manager Jeff Gorton later said that DeAngelo "wasn't able to move on from that" incident, and that he was told that, if there was another behavioral incident, he would be placed on waivers.[41] On January 31, 2021, following reports that DeAngelo had a physical altercation with Ranger's goaltender Alexandar Georgiev following a 5�4 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Rangers placed DeAngelo on waivers

DeAngelo is now with the Philadelphia Flyers where has a new opportunity to prove he is a role model on and off the ice. Can he start to become that player finally?
