There are times when players turn their back at the last second and get hit from behind that I agree there shouldn't be a penalty, but I think Grapes is out to lunch tonight. Orpik had the puck and was chipping it out of the zone. How was he supposed to get prepared for that hit? Leave the puck? And he tried to deflect Orlov's hit to put the onus on him as well. C'mon Grapes, the Flyers were ticked off and made some stupid decisions, just call it as it is.
