Over the weekend, I thought of posting a question asking which Flyer would be the next to earn himself a suspension. We may already have our answer. If the haters covering the NHL in Canada and elsewhere have their way, Riley Cote may become the latest member of the Suspension Club. Cote came hard with an elbow in Saturday's loss to the Stars, and deserved a penalty for the hit. But that's all. That's why there is such a thing as the Elbowing penalty call. Not surprisingly though, TSN.ca speculates not only that a suspension may be in the works, but also that there may be some kind of penalty against the Flyers for the repeated offenses this season. The latter could be pure speculation, as no sources are mentioned. We're not aware of any such penalties being levied in the past, but stranger things have happened. E.J. Hradek thinks the Cote suspension may hit double-digits. Reactions abound at the Fanhouse as well. I've been watching hockey a long time, and I've seen a lot of hits just like this one that didn't receive all the gasping commentary...
