NHL looking into alleged Sestito hair pull
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.
- Coburn is old? The guy is 26 for cryin' out loud!
Hard to argue the league is against the Flyers when the Flyers have drawn something like 30 more minor penalties against the opposition than ANY other team in the NHL. That is a HUGE discrepancy of calls in our favor.
Lastly, if the NHL has it out for the Flyers, why did they severely weaken the division-rival Devils by punishing them for the Kovalchuk contract with a 3mil fine, loss of a 1st and 3rd round pick, and forced the Devils to take on a much bigger cap hit to sign him? And yet, the league did nothing to the Flyers for the Pronger and Richards contracts. Yes, the league is trying to destroy this team. Come on man, keep it real. - "The NHL is looking into allegations that the Flyers’ Tom Sestito pulled Brandon Prust’s hair during Sunday’s loss to the Rangers", lets see the guy wants to drop the gloves, then about 30 sec into the fight he hugs Sestito and can't be pulled off of him, all Sestito was trying to get some space to pound him a little more, lol and the NHL wants to investigate that ? Man I hope they don't tun the NHL into a wussie league like the NFL....
— JudgeDredd - Lets talk about hockey... who cares about NY / Philly is better... ? Shouldn't you guys be calling into sports talk radio and filling up the air with boring noise?— sendhelp
Sestito won all three (3) fights and Brandy Priss is of no consequence.- Lets face facts, the Rangers have never had a true enforcer. Dave "The Hammer" Shultz wore an orange sweater.
— Atlee - He fought Bickel, Dubinsky and Prust...not bickel twice...and not sure he won all 3, or any, but showed well. I've always liked his game, even in Adirondack where he was one of the leading scorers on the team.— philly thug
- ...and Kirk, you may not like Prust because he's a Ranger, but if you know anything about fighters, he's one of the toughest sob's in the league. A middle weight at best who dominates heavyweights regularly...Been a fan of his sicne the calgary days and wanted him over shelley, but what do i know...I also want Halak— philly thug
- The league and officials seem to be paying extra attention to Rinaldo and now, Sestito. Although I don't usually criticize the officials, the officiating of the last two games has been horrendous! Don't know how Lavi keeps his cool. Bryz has to come up big tonight; no soft ones!— dogman5
- I hear a lot of bashing from ppl on this page. Funny thing is none of u would go head to head with these guys on the ice. Talk is cheap. Walk it! Since some of u claim to hate Flyers so much stop whining about them. U act like u care! lol— Flyers_70
- OMG Philly.thompson837 you are right! Separated at birth...— Pamela Edmonds
- I love having Sestito and Rinaldo and Shelley on the roster. This is Flyers hockey. You don't want tough guys go watch Cammi Granato highites on youtube.— Ferrell31
