Incidentally, teams playing the Flyers get .433 more majors/game, .015 less 10 minute misconducts, .010 less game misconducts, and 1.977 PIM more per game than they do against the other teams.
All stats through games of 3/29/2009.

Thats cool and all but whats the ratio of penalties in a flyers game. seems like its more for us less for them. Seems teams have at least 2 or 3 more PPs than we do a game. Again part of that is undisaplined play on our part.
and stats dont back up seeing things like a flyer getting a classic cross checking penalty and the other team not getting it
