Let’s all agree on one thing: To date, James van Riemsdyk has not done anything to warrant earning $4.25 million per year. He’s slowly grown as a player since making his full-time debut with the Philadelphia Flyers at the start of the 2009-10 season, and the 11 games he put together in the 2011 postseason…

Fresh out of the Obvious Headline Department comes the news that Chris Pronger wants to play hockey this season, and thankfully, Chris Pronger will play hockey this season. It’s just a matter of getting healthy, and in a talk with reporters on a conference call on Monday afternoon, Pronger gave an update on his rehab….
… of course you are, Max. Max Talbot joined the Philadelphia Flyers today, signing a lengthy yet relatively cap friendly deal that will last five years and pay him $9 million over that stretch. He spoke to the Philly media on a conference call shortly after, talking about his decision to become a turncoat and…

Yesterday’s news resulted in a couple of people, particularly on Twitter, saying that we here at Broad Street Hockey are always negative. Naturally, this rubbed most of us the wrong way. Not only do we disagree, but we’ve been positive to the point where regular readers have told us we weren’t negative enough about the…

Originally, this post failed to include Jody Shelley in the lineup. Wishful thinking, I guess. It’s been updated to include scenarios in which Shelley is in the lineup and in which Shelley is waived and his contract is sent packing. It also had a wrong salary number for Andreas Lilja, which has been fixed. –…
Two games in two days against these same fools? I don’t like it. I had to watch Claude Giroux nearly get killed yesterday, and now I have to tune in once again like I didn’t just see attempted homicide against my real biological father? Insane. Who allowed this to happen? I need to speak to…
We don’t need a heavyweight. We have Wayne Simmonds. Sure, don’t tell Devils fans that David Clarkson is a heavyweight at this point, because well… you saw the video. But this was just awesome. I don’t get all geeked out about hockey fights often, mostly because I find heavyweights battling heavyweights a meaningless affair. This…
