ATLANTIC CITY — Following today’s 4-2 Phantoms loss to the Albany Devils at Boardwalk Hall, Michael Leighton said he felt good and ready to return to the Flyers. (Of course he did, who wants to stay with a team that has three wins and 22 losses?) “I feel like I did what I had to…
The story has been beaten to death over the last 72 hours or so. Ray Emery will face off against his old team, the Ottawa Senators, this evening at the Wachovia Center. But let’s clarify a few things. First off, half of the team that Emery played with during his Ottawa tenure, which lasted from…
(That picture is priceless, no? Captions welcome in the comments section) Continuing the promise to move these along, voting has ended on #6. Claude Giroux managed to win by 7% of the vote.
