NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has had enough of the Philadelphia Flyers "Broad Street Bullies Redux".

Bettman warned Flyers GM Paul Holmgren that the next on-ice incident involving a Flyers player would result in hefty fines for the organization.

League disciplinarian Colin Campbell handed down a three-game suspension to Flyers goon Riley Cote for his head shot elbowing of Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Niskanen during Saturday's Flyers-Stars game.

Holmgren acknowledged that as of now his club is "under watch", and for good reason. This was the fifth incident involving a Flyers player dating back to late September.

As per TSN:

So far this season, the Flyers have had five players suspended for on-ice acts of violence: Steve Downie got 20 games for a head shot on Ottawa's Dean McAmmond; Jesse Boulerice got 25 games for a crosscheck to the head of Vancouver Ryan Kesler; Randy Jones got two games for a hit from behind on Boston's Patrice Bergeron; Scott Hartnell got two games for hitting Boston's Andrew Alberts' head into the boards when the player was on his knees and defenceless; and now Cote's high head-shot on Niskanen netted a three game suspension.

The latest incident was obviously the last straw for Bettman, and is something I and others have been suggesting for some time.

While the Jones incident was in my opinion an accident, the rest were deliberate attempts to injure. That many incidents over such a short period of time couldn't be ignored and had to be addressed by the league.
