Philadelphia Flyers: An Ode and Goodbye to Wayne Simmonds

Aptly nicknamed “Simmer” and “the Wayne Train” by fans for his quick temper on the ice and tough-as-nails demeanor, Wayne Simmonds terrorized Philadelphia Flyers rivals for eight years, knocking New Jersey Devils‘ forward David Clarkson out cold on the ice in just his second game with Philly. Fresh on a new contract in 2013-2014, Simmonds set a personal best in points, scoring 60 in the regular season, where his success carried into the post-season, scoring a hat-trick against the New York Rangers in game six of the first round of the playoffs.
