On this exact day two months ago, the Flyers began a three-game road swing against Pacific Division teams, and it had been a while since they’d won a regular-season game. Tonight, they’ll also begin a three-game road swing against Pacific Division teams, and it’s also been a while since they’ve won a regular-season game. Of…
Jody Shelley scored a goal so unexpected tonight, it deserves to get its own post. Hell, in the last 24 hours, Shelley has had two of his own posts here. It’s been that kind of day, I guess. PREPARE TO BEHOLD: Watch it. Over and over again. Might as well just keep it on loop…
ALLENTOWN— “We fumbled the ball big-time here tonight,” head coach Terry Murray said after the Phantoms were embarrassingly blown-out on home ice by their biggest rivals.

[Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] Here’s the deal, kiddies. All other bloglords are otherwise occupied at the moment. I, myself am headed off to a showing of the Muppets. So this was written as a stop-gap to hold you guys over until Travis can clean it up and…
