I wasn’t too surprised over the firing. The Flyers being serious Stanley Cup contenders before the season started was the bigger one. Once again, I think the “leadership” in the front office is being too hasty. Admittedly, the Flyers have … Continue reading →

Somara has numerous pictures of past games I haven’t gotten around to posting thanks to all the distractions going on (or I’m very lazy) but tonight Austin’s AHL team finally was defeated in regulation after a 12-game streak. They weren’t … Continue reading →

Technically it’s some kind of plastic or polymer, not real glass, otherwise the puck would’ve left a big fat spiderweb crack. Jeremy and I have seen it shatter at a San Antonio game but that was caused by a big … Continue reading →

I’m really enjoying my season tickets to Austin’s AHL team. Currently the Stars are in second place for their division at 9 points. Not too shabby for an “expansion.” After a few years of being awful, I’m really stunned to … Continue reading →

As the expression goes in Canada, “this kid has got hands!” I’m confident Boston and Toronto’s scouts were watching him too because the mediocre starts. I’ve watched it several times and from different angles. The kid’s stick appears to be … Continue reading →

The AHL’s 2009-10 season kicked off last night but our team had to start in San Antonio (they lost). This evening both teams returned so we could have our inaugural game before the Stars leave to play elsewhere for a … Continue reading →

I think it was inevitable, even if the team weren’t on the financial skids. The Tocchet debacle was more damaging than the Coyotes failing to be in the playoffs every Spring. His tenure wasn’t great but I do hope he … Continue reading →

The drama in Ottawa is over! I am very glad this future Hall of Fame candidate is going to a team who needs him and I think this is the boost San Jose needs in their rebuilding efforts. Rumors were … Continue reading →

Hockey season hasn’t even started and the NHL is already peddling the new Philly jersey for this overpriced, outdoor game. Of course, I want one. I’m just not sure which player’s name and number I’d have put on it. Gagne … Continue reading →

This afternoon, the AHL announced the 2009-10 season which will include Austin for its first year in the West Division of the Western Conference. Since this league is one notch below the NHL (a less popular and prosperous sport in … Continue reading →

This time he means it! I figured it was going to happen anyway because he was removed the Sharks’ roster (via their online site). According to the story I saw on my ESPN widget this morning, JR will make an … Continue reading →

We’re at 64 days to the season opener for the Austin Stars and I’m getting pretty excited despite the whiney Pens winning the Cup recently. Then some good hockey came along to counter the NHL’s acceptance of Reisendorf’s bogus offer … Continue reading →

I can’t remember how the other three divisions were set up exactly. I could’ve sworn the Phantoms were in the Atlantic Division but now that the Flyers organization sold them off and they moved to upstate New York, they’re dead … Continue reading →

My all-time favorite goalie (since I started following hockey more carefully) has returned to the Philly fold yet again. Boucher is some kind of prodigal son the Flyers organization keeps taking back. It was rather crappy of the Sharks to … Continue reading →
