Craig Berube was an enforcer in the National Hockey League. He understands better than most what he brought to the ice each night throughout his 17 year NHL career, and he also understands the pressures and hardships of life as an enforcer in hockey.

It’s that time of year again, when the Flyers and the Minnesota Wild meet up for the annual Vandelay Industries Festivus Feats of Strength™. So, did the Flyers do well tonight? All signs point to YES. The Flyers came out in the first period like they were the Moops and the ice was 8th century…

Heading into the 2018-19 season, the Islanders had one of the bleakest outlooks. They had just lost John Tavares to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and new general manager Lou Lamoriello went certifiably insane with his offseason signings. This is a team that brought in the likes of Valtteri Filppula, yes, that Valtteri Filppula who played…
