When the NHL says it is not favoring the Penguins to win, perhaps they can explain why Penguins 2008 Eastern Conference Championship shirts and hats and merchandise are currently on sale. I mean they have to give permission for this stuff to be licensed and sold, right?
Check out this link. Amazing. Stuff has been up […]

If tonight’s Flyers Penguins game is what the NHL and the NHL playoffs have become, with these wimp-ass and one-sided calls that benefit Mario and his band of jolly wimps, then count me out.
There’s little grit allowed any more in this game. It’s boring and the refs are horrible. Not sure why an owner or […]

I just read some kooky headline that described the upcoming Eastern Conference Final as a “war” between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
I guess that makes for good, fast-food journalism. But it’s just a game.
And tonight there’s the news that the Flyers have “lost” D-man Kimmo Timonen for the playoffs with a blood cot in his leg.
But Philadelphia […]

It will be interesting in Bully’s house for the next couple weeks.
Oldest son is a Penguins fan, youngest a Red Wings loyalist. Then there’s me, I still dig the Flyers. Not sure why they do not like the Flyers but at least they are free to back whatever team they want … it’s cool either […]

My cousin Scott made a great statement last week. He said you can still be a Flyers fan and support the team or complain about the team … but either way you are supporting the players and the players are truly the team.
That, he said, doesn’t mean you have to like the ownership of the […]

I can’t help but wonder that if the Penguins win the Stanley Cup this year, will all the refs get Cup rings too?
Likely will not be an issue as I do not see them beating the Flyers.
I’m sure the refs will have something to say about that though.
You know things are bad when a Flyers […]

Pretty good read in today’s Globe and Mail.
Funny though there is no mention of how moronic Canadiens fans have been through the years, especially if you attend a game “up there” and wear another team’s colors.
Or how stupidly insane the Habs fans have been this year alone: whether it’s rioting after game 7 against the […]

All those folks complaining about bad calls against the Flyers in Round 2, game 1 …
Now you know how The Caps felt in game 7. Good calls, bad calls, you just keep on playing and play through it.
No one can stop you when you play that way.

OK, so everyone I have been ragging on has proven me wrong to a degree.

They got the job done. You can pick apart how they did it or what went wrong but in sports, they got the job done.
Congrats and continued success in the second round.

Penguins beat a sick dog in four games. I’m not impressed. The Senators haven’t beaten anyone since January. The worst slide in recent memory that I can recall.
So go rest up, Pens. If the Flyers win the series, you’re going to need your rest.
You’ll have to play the Flyers this time, Sidney. It will be […]
