It appears that the league in an effort to put the issues with the Reebok jerseys behind them has introduced alternate uniforms for a select group of individuals.

The league mandate will allow the uniforms to be mixed within a team to allow opposing players to know which players need to be kissed before they can be checked.

Colin Campbell applauded the move, and even demonstrated how the “kiss before check” rule would be applied in a 60 minute video sent to all the teams. Mr. Campbell starred in the video along with some of his “favorite” players. I also heard that Scott Burnside made a few guest appearances in the video by checking that the tutus were fitted properly.

The Philadelphia Flyers returned the video to Mr. Campbell with the message:
FN Colin

Seriously, if the rules continue to be applied in an inconsistent manner, then I only see more problems for the league. The suspensions, penalties, etc. to the Flyers is not what I have a problem with, but rather that the assessment of them has NOT been consistent. If everybody plays under the same rules, then I am OK with it.

This inconsistency displayed by Mr. Campbell is troublesome, since he is giving the impression that he either has some bias against certain players / organizations; or he is just a FN idiot.

I am not sure why Ed Snider would have even considered him for the GM position based on his past performance as the coach of the Rangers.

Bottom line is that the league (especially Mr. Campbell) has not been consistent when they are administering suspensions.

The question that I ask myself as a Flyers’ fan is “Do I want them to play soft like they played last year, or do I want them to continue to play with an edge?” The answer is a resounding “Carry on Boys”. There will be no tutus in the Flyers locker room.
