Once again, we’ve recorded what could be our last show of the 2010-11 season. But really, let’s not focus on that, because the Flyers need to win tonight. We discuss the game, the Flyers chances in it, some injury stuff as it pertains to Jeff Carter and Chris Pronger… and we discuss crappy pop music…
The Philadelphia Flyers have kicked the tires on Evgeni Nabokov before. Last year at the 2010 Entry Draft in Los Angeles, they went as far basically trading for the guy (alright, it was a “verbal agreement”), gaining an exclusive negotiating window with the goaltender for the four days between the draft and July 1. A…
I sure hope you’re a fan of NBC, because they’re about to get all up in our faces. According to a report in MediaPost, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia will soon rebrand itself as NBC Sports Philadelphia (or something similar) in the near future, likely before next hockey season. NBC Sports is going local. Comcast plans to…
There are five games on the NHL schedule for January 2, 2012: Colorado visits Los Angeles, Vancouver hosts San Jose, Chicago takes on Edmonton, Ottawa squares off against New Jersey and the Flyers host the Rangers. The NHL hasn’t confirmed that one of these games will be the 2012 Winter Classic, nor have any of…
Russian newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets reports the following this morning: The Philadelphia Flyers forward Nikolay Zherdev attacked his wife after a quarrel in a restaurant, caused damage to her car, insulted her and threatened her with death. The couple was enjoying lunch with their friends at around 12:30 pm in a restaurant Osteria di Campagna, near…
Sometimes, the NHL does smart things. This is one of those things. They’re auctioning off four ties worn by Peter Laviolette during the Buffalo series — one from each win. I’ve gotta say, of all the things I could possibly buy from this playoff run, neck wear is at the top of the list. The…
After doing our Grading the Flyers for Jeff Carter, it again became obvious that he is a polarizing figure among Flyers fans. I don’t like Jeff Carter, but I’m suddenly finding myself as one of his biggest defenders. It is an awkward position for me to be in. And yet, defending Carter is not only…
Derek Boogaard fought Jody Shelley six times in his NHL career. All six times, Boogaard mopped the floor with the now-Flyers enforcer (although just one of them came with Shelley in orange and black). As we know, Boogaard tragically passed two weeks ago after an accidental overdose on oxycodone and alcohol. The funeral was this…
A report in Russia states that the Philadelphia Flyers are among the favorites to land the services of goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov when free agency opens on July 1. Via Slava Malamud of Sports-Express: Sport-Express reports: Bryzgalov NOT talking to SKA at this moment, is looking at Philly, TBL and Washington. No further details. And translated…
Chris Pronger spoke to reporters on a conference call earlier today, and he covered a whole multitude of topics — from his injury issues to the captaincy of Mike Richards to his continued penchant for The Amazing Kreskin. There’s some good news, but for the most part, even he is still in the dark when…
