I hadn\u2019t spoken to him in person in a while, though, and, well, let\u2019s just say I have a little history with the Flyers.<\/p>\n
Back in 2021, I was involved in a rather memorable postgame interaction<\/a> with Jake Voracek, one of the Flyers\u2019 stars at the time. No need to go into great detail about it. I wrote a column Jake didn\u2019t like. I still stand by what I ended up writing<\/a>. He ripped me. That\u2019s life in the big city. That incident was five years ago, and as Nicolas Cage would say<\/a>, kind of a lot\u2019s happened since then.<\/p>\n I haven\u2019t been around the Flyers in recent years as much as I once was, and I figured (hoped?) the whole thing was water under the bridge. After all, Couturier, Travis Konecny<\/a>, and Travis Sanheim<\/a> are the only players who were on the team then and are on the team now. But you never know.<\/p>\n Sitting in front of his locker after practice, Couturier chatted with Flyers radio voice Tim Saunders. When they finished their conversation, I approached Couturier.<\/p>\n \u201cHey, Sean,\u201d I said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if you remember me. I\u2019m Mike Sielski from The Inquirer. Was wondering if you had a few minutes to talk.\u201d<\/p>\n He was still sitting down. He looked up at me.<\/p>\n
