As a Flyers fan, it’s easy to hate Sidney Crosby. In some cases, though, it’s also pretty easy to look right past that hate and see the stupidity, the irresponsibility and the lack of everything that is good in an action by another player, even if that action serves as a detriment to Crosby and…
The final scoring chances for the Canucks vs.Flyers game reflected the even contest between these two teams, with the chance total ending at 17-17.

So it’s been a ridiculously hectic two weeks thanks to Christmas and New Years and all things holiday related, and as wonderful as this time of year is, it’s always a relief when it ends. Since so much time has been missed around here, and since quite a few things have happened in Flyerland and…
