Today, a glorious thing happened: Jakub Voracek took to Twitter and laid the smackdown on Charlie.
Let’s start at the beginning. This morning, Charlie wrote a piece wondering just what would happen to the Flyers‘ lineup when Voracek was ready to return. It’ll be soon, so it’s a legitimate topic of discussion right now.
Of course, @NHLFlyera brought up a good point:
@BSH_Charlie why even put him back in to the lineup and change things when we’re winning ???

The Flyers are on a two-game winning streak, and they’ve outscored their opponents 10-2 over that time, so yeah, why mess with a good thing?
Charlie had an answer.
@NHLFlyera if Voracek had more heart he’d play in his walking boot imo

And that’s when things got good.
Enter: Jakub Voracek himself.

IT GOT REAL. Voracek put himself in the narrative as only Voracek can: abruptly and with a lot of passion and a bit of swearing. (Though he didn’t censor himself this time! Jake, there are children on Twitter!!)
All over the replies, people are mad at Charlie. That’s a very public callout, and of course, everyone loves Voracek, so everyone’s going to leap to his defense.
Fortunately, though, everything got sorted out in the end:
@jachobe hahaha that was sarcasm!

I’m sarcastic about 80% every time I talk.if that was the case with a tweet it’s my bad!

See? We’re all friends here! Very sarcastic friends.
My gf just told me to go knee in the corner for rest of the day so talk to you guys Tom!

… Well, hopefully Voracek has a fun day in the corner. It’s day three of three with no Flyers hockey to speak of, but we’re managing just fine. Voracek for MVP.
