That was surprising, right? Coming from Sheldon Keefe?

That was a little bit surprising. I haven't seen him rip a player like that in the media. Maybe I'm not remembering that something happened in Toronto, but...

There's clearly something deeper there. Maybe this is like getting into the Torts Cam York territory. We'll get to that at some point. But, I mean, that seemed like there was something there. Like, that did not feel good.

Doesn't that always happen, though? Isn't that always the case?

Everybody plays hard for the new guy.

Well, he seems miserable because of his interactions with the media and because the negative ones get overplayed so much. I don't know if it's fair because he looks like supposedly I've never met him in person. But, you know, people say he's a great, great guy. He's a great hockey guy. So I don't think it's fair to just judge him on that.

But man, it sounds like there was some incident that he had with one of his players because Cam York was benched. He dressed. He didn't play any of that win over Montreal, was it, the other night? And Michkov, by the way, what did he hit the post on a empty net for a hat trick? it's been a rough year in Philly.

Hopefully they get some stability moving forward because they do have some really good pieces there. But yeah, it's been a rough time.

I'm going to tell you why I think it was. I don't know if we have the angle. But there's an angle from behind the goalie where you can see as the shot's coming. And what we just saw right there for those watching on YouTube, that was in super slow motion.

When this was happening in real time, when the contact between Palmieri and Merzlikens happened, the puck was being released at the point, at that exact moment. So even though in slow motion, it looked like Merzlikens, like, look, here's the replay. Right here is where the defenseman, I'm not sure who it is, is shooting the puck. So the puck's traveling, traveling, traveling, traveling.
