Flyers Fans Toss Wristbands Onto Ice, Nail Capitals Player Who'd Just Been Boarded

The Flyers gave out wristbands as a promotion for tonight’s Game 3 against Washington (after losing 6-1 tonight, Philly now trails 3-0). After Dmitry Orlov was hit hard and the Flyers were heavily penalized, the crowd started chucking the wristbands onto the ice and the PA announcer urged them to have some class. Orlov was hit by at least one of the flung items:

Here’s the hit Orlov took:

" Horrible hit in the Flyers-Caps game. No idea how Orlov skated off the ice on his own. Just suspend Bellemare now. pic.twitter.com/I70KBg7gwS — Jordan Strack (@JordanStrack) April 19, 2016 "

Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post observed:
