It’ll be okay, everybody. Photo via Steve Whyno. And hey, at least the Verizon ads are gone… (For a bunch more photos, check out The 700 Level’s story from the other day. Or don’t. That’s fine too.)

RALEIGH — Saturday’s SuperSkills competition may have been a bit boring from a Flyers perspective, but tonight’s All-Star Game was anything but that. Danny Briere had two goals to boost Team Lidstrom to an 11-10 victory over Claude Giroux‘s Team Staal. It wasn’t all bad for Giroux, though. He had a goal of his own…

Officially, welcome Huck — who will have a username change soon, don’t be alarmed when you see this weird “Eric” guy around — to the BSH team. – Travis Bob has had a great season, but is he the best choice for a playoff run? Kimmo suggested Bob’s struggles with puck-handling are scary this time…
We talked a little about Ray Emery yesterday, basically dismissing his desire to come back to Philadelphia as simply that — desire. After all, the Flyers don’t have room for him seemingly at any level. With Sergei Bobrovsky and Brian Boucher at the NHL level and Johan Backlund and Michael Leighton at the AHL level,…
For the first time since Mike Rathje was placed on LTIR late in November of 2007, the Flyers are under the yearly salary cap. This truly remarkable as the Flyers have gone over three full calendar years — at least — since they have been able to avoid using the Long-Term Injured Reserve. Have $4,000…
With last night’s loss, many fans began feeling a little worried about the team’s poor play of late. After all, they are 4-4-1 in their last nine games, dating back to a 2-1 win over Carolina on February 10th. But excluding last night’s game (data not available yet), we can look at how the Flyers…
So a long time ago, while debating Brian Boucher and his talent level, HuckNZ did an amazing favor and went to NHL.com and collected every single goalie who played in the NHL since 1998’s numbers. This included a breakdown of save percentages at even-strength, on the power play, on the penalty kill, and total percentage….
Peter Laviolette will coach Team Lidstrom this weekend. Will Claude Giroux and Danny Briere (roomies!) end up under his leadership? Tonight’s draft is on Versus on 8 p.m., and on TSN if you’re one of those Canadian folk. I’m here in Raleigh and you can follow along with me at SBNation.com.
Earlier today we held an All-Star Mock Draft with Steve Whyno of Philly Sports Daily. He had Team Staal and the first pick while I had Team Lidstrom and the last pick. Here’s a quick glance at our teams. Team Staal (Steve Whyno) Team Lidstrom (Travis Hughes) Goalies Goalies Cam Ward Tim Thomas Marc-Andre Fleury…
