Jones
Here’s one from Philadelphia that won’t make any Boston Bruins fans’ hearts bleed. Word around the Flyers is that defenseman Randy Jones, he of the infamous concussion-causing hit on Patrice Bergeron in October 2007, might be out of a roster spot because of his $2.5 million cap hit.
The fourth-highest paid Flyers defenseman, Jones is feeling the heat from a couple of lesser-paid veterans and a couple rookies, according to the Courier-Post. One of the favorites, according to experts, to win the Stanley Cup this season, Philadelphia might wind up burying Jones in the AHL or trading him.
That will only be bad news to TD Garden patrons who eagerly anticipate every time Jones touches the puck so they can let out a hardy “boo.”

Bergeron is quite a bit nicer than I am. I don’t blame Joness for hitting him, I blame him for hitting him high.
There is justice in the world.
Strange, isn’t it, that Patrice Bergeron bears Jones no grudge, but fans do. Does that say more about Bergeron, or about the fans?
Hey Huxley! The more doors that do hit Jones on the ass as he goes down – the better. Just too bad some Bruin ain’t slammin’ it.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, d-bag.
