Flyers fans took exception to a play early in the third period of their team's 2-1 loss to the Coyotes on Friday when Phoenix forward Paul Bissonnette was driven into Philadelphia goaltender Steve Mason by Zac Rinaldo.
Mason stayed in the game and Rinaldo received a cross-checking penalty, but that did not stop fans from harassing Bissonnette on Twitter. Clearly fed up with being a lightning rod, Bissonnette responded by pointing Flyers fans at their own team, pointing to his minuscule ice-time and suggesting he "wasn't the problem."
Flyers fans. You are sending hate tweets to a guy who played 2 minutes tonight. I wasn't the problem. I just sat and watched. Figure it out.

The Flyers are 1-4-0 to start the season.
