Three Philadelphia Flyers games are affected by the cancellation: Sept. 25 against the Blackhawks in Philadelphia, Sept. 26 against the Maple Leafs in London, Ont. and Sept. 29 against the Rangers in Philadelphia.

It’ll be New York vs. New Jersey in Saturday’s Hurricane Sandy charity hockey game at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Former Flyer Todd Fedoruk tweeted the full lineups for the game on Monday, and we’re sure it’ll only be a day or two before Bobby Ryan requests a trade: The so-called “NY Team” will play…
This photo was taken on Monday morning on the I-95 side of the Wachovia Center. Don’t get used to calling it that, however, as clearly the Wells Fargo Center will be here pretty soon. It looks like they might even be attaching the letters to the building today, what with the crane-looking device positioned next…

That was pretty akin to this: Some thoughts: I counted six scoring…
