Philadelphia Flyers fans were treated to another embarrassing loss last night at Wells Fargos Center by the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
There wasn't much to cheer for losing 6-2, but that wasn't what everyone was talking about after this game. Instead it was the benching of Flyers defenceman Tony DeAngelo and the possibly volatile situation between DeAngelo and Head Coach John Tortorella.
Both have quite the reputations of being hot heads, however DeAngelo seems to have changed since his time as a Ranger. Torts was asked why he benched DeAngelo and refused to comment. During the post game press conference, reporters were waiting to ask DeAngelo about the benching to which DeAngelo replied:
Nothing was good. Everyone gets sat, but I respond trying to get ready for another game and try to get better." - Tony DeAngelo
I gotta give some respect to DeAngelo. Sure he had some turnovers but was he the only bad Flyer last night? DeAngelo decided to take the high road instead of get into a shouting match with Torts that would of only made the situation in Philadelphia worse.
