Flyers fans hurl commemorative bracelets on ice during lopsided loss
The Philadelphia Flyers suffered a 6-1 loss to the Capitals on Monday, leaving them one loss from being eliminated. As you can imagine, this didn't sit well with Philadelphia fans.
As the game was drawing to a close, some fans decided to express their displeasure by hurling bracelets onto the ice. One of the bracelets, which were given out to honor late founder Ed Snider, hit Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov.
Things got so bad that the Flyers were assessed a two-minute bench penalty for a delay of game despite public address announcer Lou Nolan warning the fans.
And it looks like these bracelets had some weight to them.
The Flyers have just been assessed a delay of game due to bracelets being thrown on the ice.
