The Flyers started a five game road trip with a pit stop in Buffalo before heading into western Canada with a nightmare of a game on the night before Halloween. The Flyers ghoulish effort led to a 3-1 loss that drops the team back to .500 on the season at 4-4-2. After two lackluster efforts…

It was weird on Sunday when Ville Leino was benched in the third period. Sure, he didn’t play great in the early part of the game, but with Danny Briere out of the lineup and Blair Betts gone midway through the game with an injury, you wouldn’t expect Peter Laviolette to shorten his bench. As…

It was a frustrating end to an equally frustrating season for…
Aside from our good friend Patrick Sharp, the Chicago Blackhawks and their goddamned goal song can go to hell. Patrick Kane’s mullet can lead the way. But despite being a little bitter about 2010, the Blackhawks don’t even hold a candle to the Boston Bruins in the “evil” department. I’m not talking about Brad Marchand…
