Steve Downie Makes Impact In AHL Return

The man; the myth; the legend, Steve Downie may be out of the NHL until the new year, but he returned to the ice tonight as a member of the Philadelphia Phantoms. Steve "Don't Call Me Dastardly" Downie wasted no time making an impact for the Flyers AHL affiliate in his grand return.

Before the game was 5 minutes old, Downie already registered 2/3rd's of a Gordie Howe hat trick, netting an assist and a fight. Downie finished the night with 2 points and a bare-knuckle brawl during a 3-0 Philly win over the Worcester Sharks.

FREE DOWNIE!

Mark you calendars for December 30th when the Flyers take on the Panthers. If we're lucky we'll be able to see Steve Downie beat up Greg Campbell in fron of his dad, just like Paul Gaustad.

It would be great if this year Steve Downie was last year's Rory Fitzpatrick and people try to get him into the all star game.
