Scott Hartnell's lack of production could warrant a deduction in ice-time. The Flyers record is truly telling of the squad’s consistent inconsistency. They’ve taken steps forward with wins where they’ve looked like a contender. The wins are usually followed shortly by steps back with losses, where they look like a pretender, ultimately […]
With a disappointing season over with, the Flyers now have the difficult task of assessing what areas of the squad they need to change. With several options available, the team’s General Manager Paul Holmgren will undoubtedly attempt to make a splash like last year, but with a lot of long and pricey contracts in […]
The Flyers have used plenty of defensemen this season. With the condensed 48 game schedule – a hellish marathon of games that seems more like an extended torture session than a season- it’s easy to assume the Flyers would have injuries. But this much? The egregious amount of injuries seems too daunting to overcome, but […]
The pass and shot will echo through the eternal hockey halls for ages. It was in the gold medal game of the 2010 Olympics when a certain winger threaded a perfect pass between two USA defenders to find a swift-skated sniper, who prompted buried the rubber past a slow-to-react Ryan Miller. Those two unnamed […]
Western Conference The Columbus Blue Jackets are in last place in the Central, but can you blame them? This division is unreal. Chicago just recently lost for the first time, Detroit is a perennial pain in the skate blade, and Nashville and St. Louis feature two of the stingiest defenses since Buddy Ryan’s 46. The […]
Western Conference Chicago hasn’t lost in regulation yet. With 35 points in 19 games played, they’re on pace for 88 points in a 48 game season. Considering the Columbus Blue Jackets had 65 in a full 82 game season, you have to be impressed with their start. St. Louis is finding serious twine on […]
Last season, when the Flyers lost in the second-round to the New Jersey Devils, a question lingered into the collective minds of the orange and black faithful. How safe is Peter Laviolette’s job? Taking the helm of a squad on ice in Philadelphia means the firing axe will swing brutally and swiftly. Just ask John […]
Before last year’s draft, the Eagles had a glaring need at offensive line. Entering the draft, they took a long look at who could help them fill the need for a large human being to stand in front of the quarterback and battle in the trenches. The Birds chose, with the 23rd overall pick, Danny […]
Michael Vick is a scrambler. Kevin Kolb is a pocket passer. Both will play on the field Sunday in a battle for each team’s third win of the season, and both share a common bond in their careers. Kolb took over when the Eagles thought Donovan McNabb had given them all he could give, which […]
It was ugly at times, and perhaps even somewhat painful to watch, but the Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a 24-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens at home. The Birds (the Philadelphia kind) open the season at 2-0 and now face the undefeated Arizona Cardinals in the desert next week. Turnovers remained a problem for […]
