NHL looking into alleged Sestito hair pull
options
 

The NHL is looking into allegations that the Flyers’ Tom Sestito pulled Brandon Prust’s hair during Sunday’s loss to the Rangers, according to ESPNNewYork.com.

"That's something you don't do," Prust said, according to the report.

However, Prust seemed surprised that the league was looking into it and said he did not care whether Sestito was fined or suspended.

Sestito was involved in three fights in the game, including two with defenseman Stu Bickel. Sestito was given a game misconduct for his third fight, the limit for one player in a game. He collected 25 penalty minutes, nearly six times his actual ice time of 3:48.

    Season hasn't started yet dummy. Ranger have 1 cup in the last 70 years, an embarrassment to the original 6.

    embarassing time to be Phila fan -Flyers can't win on the scoreboard with their jokers in goal and can't beat anyone up and still get all the penalites and suspensions...meanwhile Phila will continue to be loser-city until Eagles get a qb and a coach, Sixers get a legit star scorer, and Phils get a g.m. who has a clue and after they are free of a $125 mil. contract and can rebuild and get a cleanup hitter -- until then watch cities like NY, Bos, Chic, LA, Det, etc get the championships

    What championships will Det, LA, and Chicago get? I know the Bulls won't win the NBA title, LA won't win anything unless you're counting on MLS and Detroit won't win anything in the next 5-10 years at least. By the way besides the lucky fluke the Giants just went through, NY won't win anything any time soon. Yanks are more overrated than the Phils, Knicks are a mess, and the Rangers will get booted in the 1st or 2nd round...happens every year in the NHL

    Sestito fought Bickel once. Third 'fight' was with Brandon Dubinsky, who pulled a 'what did I just start?' and just held once he realized he was in a tussle with Sestito. Rangers were gunnin' for Sestito in retaliation for his pre-season hit on Ranger farmhand Andre Deveaux.

    The Flyers can't even field decent goons anymore. Slewfoot Rinaldo and Yank Sestito are total wastes of roster space. And even worse is what's waiting in the wings - Jody Shelley - the man with dual girl names. None of them scare anybody.

    You might want to do a little research on Rinaldo, he is a fighter and has "Heart", Sestito also has heart and can throw the hands just like Simmonds. As far as your comment of Jody Shelley ??? as far as fighters go he is a monster 6'3 230+ he has a many 1 punch knockouts, another one who has heart that throws his body into the mix for the Team.....

    Can someone explain to me, injuries not withstanding, why Sestito is even on an NHL roster?

    Main Reason to Protect the Flyers "Stars", they have a roll on a professional team, as in any league.

    sorry cjh - I don't like NY either but they are likely to win championships before Phila in all 4 sports; other cities at least in 1... all 4 Phila franchises unlikely to win anything with their current ongoing issues -- for Eagles this coach and qb are hopeless; Phils g.m. is most overrated g.m. in sports (anyone else with a $170 mil. budget could do a half-competent job --he is clueless) and they are now contractually stymied from getting a legit cleanup hitter for next 5 yrs; and Flyers with $51 mil. commitment are further than ever to ever solving their goaltender woes...ironically best chance may be Sixers as their g.m. Rod Thorn at lest seems to have a clue and if they somehow can land a legit star (as Thorn knows he has to) in next few yrs, the field is open.. and I agree with schnitzelboy Flyers don;t even scare anyone anymore - would prefer a team to at least do some physical damage if they're gonna get embarassed anyway
