It seemed as though Claude Giroux was on his way to either the KHL or the Czech league. The influence of Jaromir Jagr made it look like G’s decision was down to two clubs: Jagr’s former KHL team, Avangard Omsk, or his current Czech Extraliga club, HC Kladno. But in a pretty unforeseen decision, Giroux…
It took Wayne Simmonds a few games to settle into his role with ETC Crimmitschau, his German home during the current NHL lockout. He’s without a doubt the best player in the 2nd Bundesliga, the second-tier league in Germany, but he had only registered one assist in his first two contests with the club. That…

It’ll be New York vs. New Jersey in Saturday’s Hurricane Sandy charity hockey game at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Former Flyer Todd Fedoruk tweeted the full lineups for the game on Monday, and we’re sure it’ll only be a day or two before Bobby Ryan requests a trade: The so-called “NY Team” will play…
Dennis Veteri savagely beat up Rangers fans in a cheesesteak line after the Winter Classic. He tarnished the image of Flyers fans and the City of Philadelphia even further in doing so, but people got angry and tried to do something about it. Now that something has officially happened. Veteri, 33, was sentenced in common…
