Brendan Witt: certifiable bad ass.
Via the Daily News “Frequent Flyers” blog (quite a bit of irony in that title, at least pertaining to this story)
“Witt, according to New York Newsday and TSN, was hit by a truck this morning in Center City Philadelphia. He is in town for tonight’s Flyers / Islanders tilt at the Wachovia Center…
Onlookers said Witt tried to brace himself by jumping on the hood of the car before he was struck – but ended up getting hit and rolling off anyways. That’s more jump than the Flyers have shown in three weeks.
After a few profanities, Witt surprised a few people by dusting himself off and walking away like nothing happened.
‘I’m okay,’ Witt told the crowd as he dusted himself off, according to Newsday. ‘I’ve got to go play some hockey. I’m a hockey player. I’m okay. No big deal.’
If I were the Philly Police I’d give Peter Laviolette a call and see where he was at the time of the accident. Guess the Flyers are getting pretty desperate for a win, eh?
