So we’re doing it again! Details below. You can sign up over at Flyers Faithful. Who: Twelve teamsWhat: A one-day, twelve-team roller…
April Fools Day just keeps on giving, I guess. Via Pensblog, here’s the best/worst Photoshop you’ll see all week. It was done by a Lightning fan named Matt and posted on his personal Tumblr page. He also provided a little insight into the process as well, saying that he just found a good Crosby photo…
It is April Fools Day, and it also just so happens to be two days before the NHL trade deadline. I guess if this were trolling some other team besides the Flyers, we’d find it hilarious, but since it’s the Flyers, these guys are just big jerks. I guess there’s a chance this is a…

The news was first reported by Anthony SanFilippo, while the contract terms — three years for an annual value of $925,000 — were first reported by Tim Panaccio. Agent Allan…
Tyler Dellow published an interesting look yesterday at the impact of scheduling on a team’s results. Here are the key points: The home team has an advantage even when the teams are equally rested, winning about 54.6% of the games. The home team gets an even bigger advantage because it’s much more common for them…
