Being sick did knock me out of the loop on hockey for a bit. Fortunately, my Flyers had some downtime to relax, make a couple lame trades and set a new low for consecutive losses. First, new GM Holmgren fails … Continue reading →

Late again, I know, what a disappointment to you non-hockey fans. It’ll be brief. The Flyers continue to lose even to mediocre teams such as Washington and the NY Rangers, both one-line wonders. Losing to the Devils was no shock, … Continue reading →

I will keep my NHL diatribe short this week since this is late and the Vegas edition was too long, even for me. Fortunately, the Flyers only went on to lose one more time while I was in Sin City … Continue reading →

A rather late update on hockey due to me being in Vegas, probably a welcome respite for my regular readers and friends. However, the ugly truth is that Las Vegas is really the sports capital of the US and Canada. … Continue reading →

Thanks to the holidays, I finally got the opportunity to use my G5 at work to do the iMovie HD editing I wanted to complete on the raw footage of last Saturday’s Icebats game. Unfortunately, my ‘blog solution doesn’t allow … Continue reading →

I was oddly surprised over the Flyers’ victory consisting of really early goals against the Ducks, the team most of the hockey pundits predicted to win the West. Seemed like a flashback of what they were at times last season. … Continue reading →

Even though he’s snakebit this season, Simon Gagne still deserves to go because he has so much potential, same for Shane Doan. Vote here for the players you feel should be in the starting line up. Even if you don’t … Continue reading →

Last night he broke the record for the most games played by a European-trained player. My guess is that “European-trained” means born-and-raised in Europe and he didn’t play in the Canadian juniors system or with any of the American or … Continue reading →

My Flyers keep struggling on to set a new (low) record. How many consecutive losses will be the new goal since they tied the original of six set in the early Nineties. They chalked up three more with the equally … Continue reading →

The Flyers’ losing skid continues and trade rumors abound as the big GM meeting in Toronto takes place. With the salary cap and the season still being young (under 25 games), no one wants anything Philly has over 26 years … Continue reading →

For Philly, the new coach is 2-1-0 and he’s off to a shaky start. Stevens won in his debut against the Atlanta Thrashers but it required a shootout. Then there was another humiliating defeat from the Penguins starring their new … Continue reading →

A pretty quiet week since the Flyers Organization had the hammer come down on Hitchcock and Clarke last Sunday. We’ll see what kind of production Stevens and Holgren get out of these candy-asses against the Thrashers tomorrow night. The Philly … Continue reading →

The hammer finally fell unfairly on Hitchcock and deservedly on Clarke. I figured they’d wait until a weekday but better now so the new coach, John Stevens, has a chance to get this batch of schmucks together to salvage what’s … Continue reading →

I’ll hit off with a bit of great news about a Gordie Howe movie. I stumbled upon through the ESPN widget. Even if it’s about his days with the WHA and produced by the Ally McBeal people, it will be cool. And … Continue reading →

It’s going to be a long season. My team was off to an awful start with the four-zip drubbing they got at the opening from Pittsburgh. Really sad. Good thing the game was in Pittsburgh, otherwise the infamous Philly crowd … Continue reading →
