Seven games into the season and my Flyers finally won! At least it’s against a team that matters, the Devils, who are also a shadow of their former winning selves. Oddly, it still puts them ahead of the Islanders; at … Continue reading →

Once again, poor Clint Malarchuk makes headlines with another accident. The poor guy is a magnet for near misses. For those who don’t recognize Malarchuk’s name, he’s the goalie from this horrific incident, it’s not for the squeamish.

Last night the NHL’s 2008-9 Season really kicked off. Those games in Europe counted for the teams who played there but c’mon, the NHL is a North American league despite all the Europeans on the various 30 teams. Rumors abound … Continue reading →

Due to the slowness of Summer, I forget to check my link to the Philly newspaper every day to see what’s the skinny on the Flyers. To my horror there was a piece Wednesday talking about my team being one … Continue reading →

An interesting day in hockey. The long overdue news about Barry “Captain Mullet” Melrose being made the new head coach of the Lightning became official. I guess he finally read the writing on the wall about ESPN’s disinterest in the … Continue reading →

This Swiss kid Sbisa better be worth losing RJ Umberger in exchange. I know the Flyers are hurting on D but GM Holmgren is doing Bizarro Clarke moves by trading good, younger vets for unproven rookies as opposed to getting … Continue reading →

My first successful prediction on the winner in five years! I don’t recall if I was correct on the number of games it took the Devils to beat the Ducks in 2003 though. However, I did correctly guess the number … Continue reading →

Caught the headline tonight about Sami Kapanen retiring from the NHL and finishing with the Finnish team he partially owns. He was definitely a steal from Carolina, especially when they got Brendl, a forward who never produced for anyone, in … Continue reading →

The Stanley Cup will be a match up between an “Original Six” team (Detroit) and a “Next Six” team (Pittsburgh). Montreal’s defeat guaranteed that Canada would be excluded for the first time in three seasons which probably made NBC breathe … Continue reading →

Again, the wrong Flyers team I didn’t show up for the bulk of the series, I got the one that blew the majority of their games in January. They were definitely on the ice today as the Arm-Pitt Penguins routed … Continue reading →

I received an e-mail Tuesday from the owner about the Icebats being officially homeless. As much as I loved going to their games at Chaparral Ice for the last two seasons, I knew it wasn’t economically feasible. Sure, many of … Continue reading →

My Flyers did it Saturday night! In your face Barry Melrose! In your face Scott Burnside! In your face ESPN in general. Now those Quebecker rednecks can burn down their city for a good reason, being number one and getting … Continue reading →

My Flyers won and clinched a spot to the semi-finals in a nail-biter last night. Thus proving that the Caps were a joke, unworthy of being in the playoffs like all teams from the Southleast again. It was probably the … Continue reading →

I was going to hold off on anything related to hockey until the opponents for the semi-finals were figured out. But last night…what a game for my Flyers had over the Caps! Double OT with the GWG to Mike Knuble! … Continue reading →
