Image c/o GeekTyrant Friday funnies brought to you straight from hockey’s own players, media personnel, and broadcast botches. We’ll be mucking it up every week right here, examining puck ups, puns, tweets, and more!
One of the semi-fun, semi-typical, semi-embarrassing things that a lot of pro sports arenas do is the Kiss Cam. If you're unfamiliar with the Kiss Cam, then you've probably been living under a rock, but typically the operator will switch to different live shots of couples in the building who are fans of the home team and those couples will lock lips for the camera and this is all broadcast over the big screen. Sometimes, the in-house production team will have a little bit of fun and, well that's what happened last night in Tampa. The Bolts' Kiss Cam folks singled out a single, male Flyers fan as he was eating some type of unhealthy food and it was probably a little bit embarrassing for him:

Poor guy. It didn't really help that the Flyers embarrassed themselves as they were outplayed badly by Tampa, again, at the Tampa Times Forum. Salt in the wound. Ugh. Thanks to Thanks to @NickRueger33 and @NickMcIlwain1 for sharing this gem and I mean hey, the playoffs start soon and your Philadelphia Flyers will be in them! Exciting stuff, right? Of course I'm right. I don't do transitional material and I'm not sorry. Catch everybody next week!
