The trade deadline closed up on Thursday afternoon and not only was it tight, it was probably the lousiest job GM Bobby Clarke has done in a while. Not only did Philly take in two defensemen that won’t make a … Continue reading →

he Flyers finally ended their losing skid last night and once again, I missed this game thanks to the OLN v. Dish snit. The aging Petr Nedved pulled through on the shoot out, at least that’s what the highlights from my ESPN … Continue reading →

Team USA did even worse in the medal round against Finland. Getting knocked out was one thing, but the 30 minutes of penalties, poor play and poor sportsmanship followed by a temper tantrum from Mike “Lady” Modano was unacceptable. Team … Continue reading →
