Given that he plays for team Canada now, it's about time Sixers center Samuel Dalembert learned a thing or two about hockey. Sammy D attended his first NHL game yesterday and witnessed a good one. The Flyers beat Ottawa 6-1.
Now, I'm not going to rip into Sammy too hard because this whole promo was done for charity. He was born in Haiti and grew up in Montreal so English may not be his strength, but if you're doing a promotion with the Flyers, you can't go out and call a puck a ball. That's just horrible.
