I remember it like it was yesterday. Sitting in the second to last row of the then Wachovia Center with my dad, just a month after my 11th birthday for game five of the 2010 Eastern Conference final against the Montreal Canadiens. The night Mike Richards slammed into Jaroslav Halak and cemented “The Shift” into…
*Some real big August energy from the hockey media yesterday. We are bereft of links. Yesterday the Flyers and their god Gritty helped with the grand opening of the new hockey rink at the Fishtown Rec Center, which looks very cool. Some details, courtesy of Flyers PR: This morning, Mayor Jim Kenney, City Council President…
*Folks, we’ve got two things for you. It was a busy day for the Flyers and a Monday in July for everyone else. Don’t yell at me, I don’t make the links. Anyhoo… *Danny Briere and the Flyers avoided having to go to arbitration with Noah Cates and signed him to a two-year bridge deal!…
Danny Briere is having himself a busy morning; after avoiding arbitration and locking up Selke-vote-getter Noah Cates for the next two years, the Flyers signed promising defenseman Cam York to a two-year, $3.2 million dollar contract.

Well, Meatballs is still a Flyer. And it doesn’t seem like anyone really knows what is happening anymore. [Hockeybuzz] *What DID…
*Any of you guys go to last night’s scrimmage? No? Me neither, but it looked like quite a lot of people did. I hope both teams had fun out there. Anyhoo, it looks like Emil Andrae was the standout. [NBC Sports Philly] *As dev camp comes to a close, here’s some notes from Charles, in…
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is, unbelievably, in its 16th season. Even more unbelievable is the time I’ve wasted keeping up with it. Last week I plowed through the early episodes of the new season. There are some highlights, but the one thing that stuck with me was “Frank vs. Russia,” a Rocky IV bit…
*GMDB went out and made another depth signing, taking another flyer (get it) on a guy that people once thought would be something pretty good but ultimately petered out. Not a bad way to approach the need for warm bodies. [BSH] *We also saw a new contract for Ronnie Attard come to fruition. That’s good…
