The third day of Prospect Camp was fairly uneventful. After spending Friday watching Riopel, Stewart, and Bobrovsky, I spent today trying to watch Rawlings, Morrison, and Phillips. But those three worked mostly on wraparounds, which was too dull to watch. At the other rink, Riopel, Stewart, and Bobrovsky had some difficulty getting a lot of…
After spending Thursday at the annual Trial on the Isle, the Flyers prospects returned to the ice on Friday.

The big one, of course, was the signing of Nikolai Zherdev to a one-year deal. [BSH] [CSN] [Puck Daddy] And they also signed Greg Moore, a minor league winger with a small bit…
Another uneventful practice, which makes me think it’s me. The only thing from practice is that Craig Berube is still intimidating, and I wasn’t even the one being yelled at. Plus, the one time we made eye contact, I froze. Seriously, that guy is scary and I’m not afraid to admit it. Only three videos…
