Just a week ago, we heard from Nolan Patrick about how he met Claude Giroux, and it was long before he was even a twinkle in Ron Hextall’s eye. He was fourteen years old, and the circumstances were a little different: he was calling Claude “coach” instead of “captain.” Back in 2013, Nolan Patrick was…
Some Philadelphia Flyers news and notes to start your Wednesday. Three days until meaningful hockey… Blair Betts doesn’t have a contract yet, but Paul Holmgren is working at it. At 3 PM today, if he doesn’t have a contract from the Flyers, he is free to sign with any team. [CSN Philly] A nice long…

The Flyers…
*VeseyWatch remains annoying, but like it or not, it is an example of the free agent system working exactly as intended.
