“We’re not trading Jeff Carter,” Philadelphia Flyers GM Paul Holmgren told ESPN.com on Saturday. The 25-year-old forward is earning $5 million this season and $5.5 million in 2010-11, the last year of his deal. He’s basically been a point-a-game player for two years now, and that’s good production for his salary. But when the Flyers…
Rex Ryan is an eccentric dude. He’s known for his outlandish press conferences and giving people the finger in public with cameras around.

Since we’re closing out 2009 and thus the decade – we like easy, round decades – we decided to jump on the bandwagon of decade posts. So here is our Flyers All-Decade team. We mentioned this topic during our first radio show, and we finally got around to doing it. It took awhile and there…
We wrote yesterday afternoon about the news that Ville Leino was going to be sitting out tonight’s crucial game with the New York Rangers, and the quote CSN’s Tim Panaccio got from Leino on the situation. “We need more fighters,” Leino said. This sparked a bit of outrage, mostly due to the quote and not…

After pledging to add to the defensive depth, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren has done that by signing Lukas Krajicek, formerly of the Tampa Bay Lightning, to an unknown deal. The 26-year-old Czech defenseman was put on waivers by the Lightning in early December. He reported to AHL Norfolk where he played 15 games before…
