Asham's "Bitten Finger" Is Fine...

We all know the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins never have liked each other- now with the Peter Laviolette-coached Flyers turning more and more into the Broad Street Bullies ((and winning more games than losing)), there's a bit of a fire under their pants.

Sunday's game against the Pens showed that, and was somewhat personified by the scrum that involved Aaron Asham and Matt Cooke. Asham claims that Cooke used his finger as an appetizer during the brunch time slot.

“I got a couple marks, nothing serious; it hurt at the time,” Asham said, repeating what he said on Sunday that Cooke was “gutless” for biting him. “It’s no big deal,” Asham said. “I got a couple of good shots in on him.”
