[CSN Philly] *It would appear that…
One of the more polarizing Philadelphia Flyers of the 2013-2014 season so far has been Nicklas Grossmann. The usually steady Grossmann had a particularly rough month throughout January. Many fans and bloggers (including some of our own here at Broad Street Hockey) felt Grossmann might deserve to sit for a game or two; if not…
*Remember when you were a senior in college, and technically you had enough credits to graduate, but you still had to finish up?

P.K. Subban is an restricted free agent, and there’s word that he’s not all that close with the Montreal Canadiens on a new contract. The Flyers are one of the only teams in the league that actually have the balls to drop an offer sheet on another teams star player, so it’s not all that…
