NEW YORK -- The Philadelphia police department has released surveillance video of a brutal attack following Monday's Winter Classic game in an effort to identify the three suspects involved in the beating of two men wearing New York Rangers jerseys outside a South Philadelphia cheesesteak shack.

The graphic video shows three suspects wearing Philadelphia Flyers jerseys beating and kicking the two victims outside Geno's Steaks in South Philly at 7:15 p.m. ET.

One of the victims was an off-duty Woodbridge, N.J., police officer, according to Woodbridge Township spokesman John Hagerty. NBC New York identified him as Neal Auricchio, 30, who the station says also served as a Marine in Iraq.

"He got banged up pretty badly," his father, Neal Auricchio Sr., told NBC New York Wednesday. "Stitches in the one eye, and the other eye is pretty puffed up. He went for a CT scan today, and we're waiting for the results on that."

My co-worker, Pens fan, went to a Flyers game in Phila, wearing a Lemieux jersey. Flyers fans chanted “we love cancer”.....

"That post didn’t work out very well for you, did it?"

Sure it did. Even a smart aleck like you can understand ungrammatical English in context. You just have to try harder.

Yes, but posting stupid when calling others stupid lends humor at your expense. Just like the doggone </i> (end) tag...

It was probably the Belmawr Bullies/s. But, the knowledge one would have as a leo makes me think arrogance led to this. Despite the appreciation of civility and proper decorum, one thing in a sweeping generality, the enthusiastic filly athletic supporter is a PROUD. Disrespect will not be tolerated. Incredibly patently moronic. I know, there is no justificstion, but it is a fact in today’s society. As Ranger fan great, it was a great win, but parading around on Broad St Philly or Broad St Newark by the Rock will get you the same invited, yet unwanted attention. I hope the guy feels better.
