The Flyers‘ season may not start on time, but at least we have the Philadelphia Phant— oh, right. While we might need to travel farther to see Phantoms hockey in the event of a lockout, at least the team will still be playing, and obviously, quite a few current Flyers might find themselves playing in…
Most of the NHL’s top players seem poised to bolt to Europe in the event of an extended lockout. Evgeni Malkin will play in the KHL for Metallurg, his former club, and Malkin indicated that Sidney Crosby could join him in the KHL as well after the New Year. Alex Ovechkin said this morning that…

Via reader @BrianFNMcDonald on Twitter, here’s a picture of the revamped NHL 13 display at a Best Buy store in Greensburg, Pa., an eastern suburb of Pittsburgh. Hilarious mustache and all!

Back in June during an interview with the Courier-Post, Anaheim Ducks forward Bobby Ryan loudly voiced his displeasure with his current team. He wanted to be traded, and if that demand were filled, he’d like to become a member of the Philadelphia Flyers. Ryan grew up in Cherry Hill and his family has ties to…
Things are *puts on cautious face* looking good in CBA talks, as the NHL and NHLPA have met at length several times in the last few days and are scheduled to do more as the week continues. But that’s not stopping the flow of NHL players to Europe, and we can now add Max Talbot…
We all know Jeremy Roenick enjoyed seeing the Chicago Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup back in 2010.
