Not much again this week. That’s what happens when your team is dead last. However, the owners did the right thing and signed Paul Holgrem to a two-year contract so he can continue with the rebuilding. No one wants to … Continue reading →

The last month of the season is winding down and now all the teams have to play with the guys they have for the home stretch. I still feel Philly did better than anticipated, especially with the current solution in … Continue reading →

The trade deadline has come and gone. I was really surprised that Philly came out ahead for a change and didn’t just shed everyone they could ditch. After Forsberg left, the team didn’t have any serious contenders to trade outside … Continue reading →

I’m feeling better about my Flyers now that the other skate has finally dropped regarding the indecisive Peter Forsberg. And guess what? They easily beat the NY Rangers without him. I can only hope, futilely, the clowns on FSN will … Continue reading →

Just as I headed out the door with my last post, I saw the news. Seems Forsberg received it after the pre-game skate too. The useless, injury-prone, indecisive and worst, Team, Captain, ever, was traded to Nashville! My fellow Detroit-fan/friend … Continue reading →

Of all the games for the Flyers to lose, the one against the Red Wings would’ve been excusable and even expected with how poorly they’ve played this season. But it seems they couldn’t do that correctly because the 6-1 spanking … Continue reading →

According to the Philly paper, my Flyers have finally accepted this season as a wash and now they only plan their objectives in five-game intervals, probably with the objective of being “be in better shape next season.” I think Coach … Continue reading →

It was a shame but even in the lower leagues of any sport, firing the coach happens. Mr. McDonald seemed like a nice guy when I met him and from what I saw on the rink, it was more of … Continue reading →

The All Star Game was moderately interesting. Did anyone else detect the rather catty tone of ESPN’s article on how low the ratings for this year’s game versus ABC’s coverage of it in 2004? The game was played on a … Continue reading →

It could’ve been worse on these new uniforms. The real test will be what they look like with 30 teams’ logos on them. Reebok makes some super ugly shoes, I figured they could only mess up jerseys. On the other hand, … Continue reading →

The All-Star break will soon be upon us and the Flyers are on track to delivering their worst season in franchise history; they’ve never finished with less than 58 points. At least they’re currently up five points over the most … Continue reading →

Today is JR’s 37th birthday and hopefully Gretz will let him play tonight against the ‘Lanche. I know I like to take the day off from work on my birthday but if I were pro athlete, doing what I loved … Continue reading →

Today, Yutaka Fukufuji became the first Japanese player to participate in an NHL game. His team, the Kings, still lost but he was brought in after the previous guy gave up five goals. Japan hosted the Winter Olympics in 1998 so … Continue reading →

The three-game winning streak ended and the Flyers returned to their losing ways as the road campaign ended painfully by granting the Caps their first ever, four-game sweep in their history. There was a time that playing Washington’s rather lame … Continue reading →

Hard to believe the Flyers have won three games in a row this season! They had their victory over the Lightning as I mentioned last week but they also clobbered the ‘Canes and defeated the Islanders, course they almost blew … Continue reading →
