We’ve spent the night celebrating the Flyers trip to the 2010 Eastern Conference Championship, as many around the city and the region have also done. After the jump, in similar fashion to the time capsule we put together following the Flyers’ miraculous Game 7 win against Boston, we take a look at how the media…
PHILADELPHIA — We’re at the Wachovia Center today, where the Flyers are (obviously) preparing for the Chicago Blackhawks and Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, which kicks off tonight. Yes, that’s right — the Stanley Cup Final begins tonight. The Flyers, on home ice, hope to be much better equipped to take advantage of…
Ian Laperriere skated again with the Flyers at practice today in Montreal, but this time, his linemates may lead us to believe he’ll be in the lineup come Game 4. Lappy skated with his usual partners, Darroll Powe and Blair Betts, while his replacement, Andreas Nodl, skated on a “fifth” line with Riley Cote and…
Patrick Sharp has always been one of my favorite hockey players. Since his days with the Phantoms, winning a Calder Cup back in 2005, to the day he was traded from the Flyers organization to Chicago, I’ve always wanted him to do well. While that wasn’t necessarily one of my thoughts as he bolted across…
The recent flash mob attacks around Center City Philadelphia understandably get under people’s skin. It’s understandable that any mention of the word “mob” will frighten people a bit. But today’s reported “mob” of Flyers fans that plan to follow the Blackhawks bus from their hotel to Wachovia Center prior to Game 4 shouldn’t really be…

Oh, and then there’s the fact that in half of…
Dr. Jill Biden’s husband, Vice President Joe Biden, was born in Scranton and was a Senator from Delaware before taking his current job as VPOTUS. Despite that status, though, his wife can still make him sleep on the couch, and as he told a crowd at the Union League in Chicago on Monday, if he…
Opting not to hit the arbitration process, Dan Carcillo signed a one-year, $1.075 million contract with the Flyers today. Several sources, including CSN, are reporting that figure. It’s a smart move by Carbomb, who likely realized that the Flyers have a ton of weapons to throw his way in the arbitration process. He may not…
The Flyers lost. The season is over. But hey, chin up! It’s not so bad… – We get to raise a banner next year. No matter what anybody tells us, the Philadelphia Flyers were the best team in the Eastern Conference this season. We were better than the Capitals. We were better than the Penguins….
UPDATE: Craig Custance of The Sporting News says he got a text from Guerin that says he’s “just in town” and “not hoping for a tryout, just skating.” According to his agent in the same article, “he simply needed needed a place to skate” and that they’ve “had discussions with a couple of teams.” Still,…
