[Morganti] If you had any doubt that the Flyers new culture starts at the top consider this: Just spoke to Flyers CEO Dan Hilferty about Torts getting ejected from Saturday night’s game in Tampa and he said he will pay any fine levied by the NHL



Went on to add:

“I’m really proud of Torts for standing up for his/our team.,” he said “This new era of Orange is about having each other’s backs. Last night, Torts had our collective backs.. I respect any action the league might feel a neeed to take but if it includes a fine, I am paying it.”

    Since this new era is all about having each other’s back, I am hereby formally petitioning that Dan Hilferty cover my credit card bill for this month as well.

    That’s great, but I do wonder if that’s technically allowed.

    Obviously monetary punishments relative to their earnings aren’t really much of anything, but it would seem a bit strange if an entity within the organization can just cover it at will. It would seem to remove whatever little *punishment* that penalty imposes.
