Last month when the Phantoms played a game in Atlantic City against the Albany Devils, I had a chance to see the team first-hand for the first time this season. It was, um, not pretty. It was so ugly, in fact, that I decided to look up the stats on the Phantoms to see how…
The Flyers must have just gotten the trade into the NHL offices in time, because Bob McKenzie is reporting that the Blue Jackets traded LW Tom Sestito for Greg Moore and Michael Chaput.

Not that Bobrovsky is really even looking for one. “Wins are much more important than shutouts. Shutouts will come when they come.” It might have looked like Bobrovsky struggled a bit in…
After more than a year, perhaps longer depending on your perspective, of nonstop goalie debate, it appears as though with the demotion of Michael Leighton, the goalie carousel in Philadelphia has stopped spinning. We lead off this week’s BSH Radio, our first show since October, with a detailed discussion of Leighton’s demotion to the Phantoms,…
