First #HartnellDown, now #SuckItPhaneuf

by Travis Hughes on Feb 20, 2012 11:28 AM EST

At the Flyers Wives Carnival yesterday, Scott Hartnell continued being awesome. We heard from several people, including Hartnell himself via Twitter, that official #HartnellDown apparel was "flying off the shelves" at the WFC. After the Carnival, Hartnell sat in a kitchen and raffled off a #HartnellDown jersey. It's probably a jersey foul, but we'll let that slide -- a) because it's for charity, and b) because the video was hilariously awkward.

But the coolest part of Hartnell's Carnival day might have come earlier that day, when he signed this autograph for a fan during the event...

Via Reddit:

It's sideways, but you can figure it out. It's an autograph, and the guy asked him to sign it with "#SuckItPhaneuf." According to the user on Reddit, who's friends with the guy that got this autograph, Hartnell had to ask how Phaneuf is spelled.

Is Scott Hartnell a Great Flyer, or The Greatest Flyer?

This guy should be wearing a letter on his jersey. I’m off to figure out how to get my dad and I t-shirts. No offense Kreider.

That will go great with the mini helmet I had Simmonds sign with Wayne Train! I’ll have to post pics later.

Gotta love Hartnell. Our team would be lame without him. If he somehow gets traded I’m starting a RIOT!

Suck it Phaneuf!

Love this! I met Hartnell yesterday at the Carnival. He’s just as fun in person as he seems everywhere else. He’s a gentleman, but probably not a scholar as demonstrated when trying to spell Phaneuf, but that makes me like him that much more.

I got my pic taken with Harts and got his autograph as well. Cool guy. The hair is just as ridiculous up close, lol. He said he “liked my shirt”. My husband was suspicious. ;-)

A tie may be like kissing your sister, but it's better than getting screwed by a skills competition.

Ok, so no one ever gets to include him in a trade rumor again, right?

i love the guy, he deals with us asshole philadelphians pretty well. but face it, once he has a bad month, our near sight will kick in and we’ll be bad mouthing him. i truly love the guy tho, he has a great attitude and you can tell he’s really enjoying playing it philly this year!

great flyer rather than greatest flyer

but the upside to be right there with clarkie, the hammer, and hex is HUGE

If we would have won game 6 in ’10, our whole perception of him would be very different.

My girlfriend bought me the harttrick shirt. He’s her favorite player. That’s exactly what I was hoping to be able to get him to sign on it, since harttrick was born after the goal and fight.

The fact is we like Scott more now because he is doing well (recall the trade Hartnell group; guilty as charged). His personality PLUS performance is a total win, as noted above. Truly a great Flyer.

Curiously, this would also be the case with the guy in goal right now. Hartnell recovered with a change in his personal situation, plus G of course. What does Ilya need, so that his potentially-awesome personality is a plus, instead of a minus??? I think the next few games, with the souped-up D, will be interesting.

GMAT verbal section question, Philadelphia sports version.
In 2015, which one of the following will prove to be a better investment?
(a) Ilya Bryzgalov's contract (b) Ryan Howard's extension (c) Mike Vick's extension (d) Greek bonds from 2009 (e) Papelbon's bloat deal
