RALEIGH, N.C. -- After winning their second game in two days, the Flyers were in a particularly jovial mood Monday night.
Perhaps it was because of their 2-0-1 record on their trek through the south, or maybe it was just relief that theyd soon be back at homebut there were a number of funny moments as they packed their bags for their charter flight back to Philadelphia.
Porno stache
Jaromir Jagr is generally amiable with the media, but after the victory over the Canes, he was particularly personable.
Jagr was discussing his contribution to Movember, a Fu Manchu that's received a lot of positive feedback from Flyers fans. Jagr said he elected to go with the Fu Manchu because hed look kind of funny and badas opposed to just bad, which he figured hed look if he had only a mustache.
Then he added: "If I had only a mustache I'd look like that guy."
He was pointing at Inquirer writer Sam Carchidi.
Jagr grinned and added, porno!
NHL
Were not sure about that onebut it did result in a lot of laughs from both players and media. Moments later, Jagr walked past Carchidi and gave his stache a little tug, to an eruption of laughs from the rest of the reporters.
Color wars
Jakub Voracek was asked by a reporter what it is that's made the Flyers' penalty-killing unit so successful (they've killed 28 of their last 29 penalties).
Before he had a chance to answer, though, Braydon Coburn yelled out his suggestion from across the room:
"White jerseys!"
Chicks dig scars
Max Talbot received 12 stitches and had to make a pregame trip to the dentist following Sundays high-stick to the face in the win over the Florida Panthers. That parts not so funny.
When asked how he was feeling, Talbot smiled as much as his swollen lip would permit and asked the only female reporter presentthat would be yours trulywhether she liked it. That was all that mattered.
Talbot scored yet another goal in Mondays win, so it was obvious the injury wasnt taking away from his on-ice performance.
Its far from the heart, its far from the legs, he said of his busted lip. Its just the face. Its all right.
