Damn is this right on the head ….
One of the best lines I’ve seen anywhere in print …
“Bettman is set to begin his 15th year as commissioner Thursday, and like most hockey fans I feel the need to mark the occasion by popping a bottle of champagne, chugging the entire thing in an effort to […]

Peter Forsberg is history as a Flyer. He has waived his no trade clause. Offers are pouring in and he will be moved likely before the Feb 27 trade deadline. This is supposed to all be secret but seriously, you think Forsberg was staying? He has more pride than to hang around here with this […]

This isn’t hockey related but it is bugging the hell out of me so I’m going to address it … quickly.
All the talk today in Philly is not about the Flyers or 76ers … but about Barbaro. Dead Barbaro. Poor Barbaro. Poor Barbaro owners (nothing poor about the $40 million insurance payout on the dead […]

I might be ahead of myself and maybe Versus doesn’t care, but no one is watching the NHL on TV. For every clown on the league or team payroll who says that the game is great and all the new changes are great … it just isn’t true. I can’t see how any network would […]

The NHL All Star weekend is no more. Now it is on a Tuesday and Wednesday. NHL brass moved the weekend so that they could draw better TV ratings by not competing with the NFL. And it is on the Versus Network which not everyone gets anyway.
But more importantly I was thinking: There is NO […]

I think it has gotten to the point where the Flyers have crossed the line of good taste.
All season when you logon to the official Flyers web site, there is a placeholder page prompting you to purchase tickets and ticket packages before you can actually get onto the site.
Then the Flyers introduced a video player […]

I notice that the Flyers players have stopped wearing ties to the rink along with their dress shirts and jackets.
Might sound stupid, but I’d be wearing the tie. Dressing business casual is carrying over onto the ice. The Flyers play is casual at best. This is not the time to dress down as the team […]

When I see a pussie lightweight like Havlat wearing Bob Probert’s #24 sweater in Chicago, am I the only one wishing I could punch that fuck in the face?
And why would they offer this milk toast Probert’s sweater anyway? The Hawks’ corporate brass truly suck … Maybe Probert will cold cock Wirtz.

Hopefully, these punks get nailed. Unbelievable.

When guys like Brashear and other folks from that cloth are gone in the NHL it will be a sad day for old time hockey enthusiasts.
Case in point: When Brashear and Shanahan fought the other night, Brash was skating off the ice and Ward (who had a ref between him and Brashear) started chirping at […]
