Wayne Simmonds spoke about his time playing in Philly

Wayne Simmonds signed a one-day contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday. His career was then celebrated during Saturday's game against the New Jersey Devils. Wayne Simmonds was asked about his time in Philadelphia and his response was "I gave everything I had to Philadelphia. It kind of cut my career short, but I wouldn't change it one bit (laughing). Every ounce, every tear, all the sweat, all the teeth that I have, or don't have. I was willing to do whatever I could do to try and win."

Wayne Simmonds was a fan favorite during his time in Philadelphia and this quote is exactly why. He gave everything he had during his time in Philly, and this is just what this city wants in their athletes, to give everything and show effort. Wayne Simmonds was a goal scorer that was not afraid to drop the gloves and defend his teammates. We can hope to have more players like Wayne Simmonds wear the orange and black in the future.
