The last thing the Flyers need is to give the Capitals is motivation to end the series. Alternatively, the last thing the Capitals need is for the Flyers to get under their skin. You decide:

Coach Barry Trotz said he discussed the check with a league officiating supervisor:

“I think it’s a dangerous play. I think it should not be in our game. And any player who’s looking to try to wreck a guy’s knee or injure him, especially when the play is dead, that definitely should be out of the game. Every player on every team will tell you that’s disrespectful if they watch it. They’ll just say that can’t be in the game.”

Forward Tom Wilson echoed the sentiment and said they’ll use it as a little extra bit of motivation:

“I mean, that’s a pretty dangerous play. We’re just going to kind of play within the rules and hopefully send them home, send them packing.”

If the Flyers win another, this could get nasty.
