Week 12 of NHL 2005-6
The Flyers continue to move forward through the injuries! We’re also in first place in the Atlantic Division! Last night, the shootout victory over the Florida Panthers was tense. Firstly, the Panthers aren’t going anywhere this season, the Southleast will … Continue reading

Week 11 of NHL 2005-6
This week Team USA was announced. I’m excited about all the different players going to represent the US in Italy next year yet I can’t hide my disappoinment over Jeremy Roenick being left out. Not as in snubbed, just not … Continue reading

Week Ten of NHL 2005-6
The schizo Flyers continue. They beat the leading team of the Northwest Division, the Calgary Flames (a rather tense 0-0 game decided by a shootout), then lose to the Edmonton Oilers who will need a miracle to make the playoffs … Continue reading

Week Nine of NHL 2005-6
Well, the Boston-San Jose trade invovling Joe Thornton was quite a shocker but in others wasn’t. Both teams are struggling and something had to give, I just didn’t think the Bruins would give up their star player (I’m drawing a … Continue reading

Week Eight of NHL 2005-6
With or without Forsberg, I have concluded that my Flyers have a split personality. The big question is, which team shows up at the games now. The Lightning and Islanders beat them because they wanted it more yet I doubt … Continue reading

Week Seven of NHL 2005-6
Last week was the beginning of the Flyers’ 3-game losing skid since they were handed two more overtime defeats from Pittsburgh (didn’t get to see thanks to the snit between OLN and Dish) and Atlanta (which I did see at … Continue reading

Week Six of NHL 2005-6
Sadly, the Flyers’ winning streak came to a slamming halt Monday night against the Cup-winning Lightning. Blech! They were pretty much down most of the game after losing their 2-0 lead early on. The Penalty Killing is still disastrous and … Continue reading

More Texas hockey
Dejected over Tulane being closed until next semester, I still went over to the rink to see if UT had a different opponent lined up for last night. Nope, but there was high-school level hockey that night! Woo hoo! Three … Continue reading

The ultimate Mac & Hockey Fan (Nerd too)
My friend Glenn found this on the Internet through the cool website redlightrunner.com. Pretty pricey and it must’ve been distributed by a select group of Mac OS software engineers that worked on Mac OS 9. I like hockey and I’m … Continue reading
Week Five of NHL 2005-06
My Flyers are still shaping up decently. Stuck in 2nd place with the Atlantic Division thanks to the one-week Olympic break coming early for them and Ottawa. They gave the Washington Capitals a total 8-1 thrashing and defeated the Atlanta … Continue reading

Belated Halloween Picture
Well, if Fox got away with showing The Simpsons and their infamous “Treehouse of Horror” episode after Halloween, why can’t I show my quickly whipped together costume. Actually, I only received the photo from my co-workers with the Quality of … Continue reading
Week Four of NHL 2005-06
I can only hope that the officials will grow tired of enforcing all their obstruction/interference penalties. Offense is definitely up thanks to the ridiculous amount of time special teams are getting. Even though the Flyers won against the Senators and … Continue reading

Week Three of NHL 2005-06
Thankfully the week-long break on the Flyers didn’t make them soft when they returned to the ice and face the Leafs in Toronto. At first, it looked like they were going to dilly dally around, give up goals on special … Continue reading

Week Two of NHL 2005-06
Philly was off to an ugly start with their loss to Toronto that shouldn’t have happened, yet they blew it like their loss to the Rangers. Then they repeated the mistakes against the winless Penguins by surrendering a fantastic lead … Continue reading

Brett Hull retires
I was rather shocked to catch the news during the Flyers thrashing of the Islanders (finally and is it should be with the line-up) about Brett retiring just five games into the season. He still had another year with his … Continue reading
