Winter Classic

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Plenty of hype about New Year’s Day game between the Pens and Sabres in Buffalo.
It is a great concept and idea.
But Buffalo?  This team was in bankruptcy 3 years ago. Seems like many other worthy candidates were overlooked.
Bruins come to mind when you factor in temperature. Bruins are an original six team. Fans are great.
Penguins […]

One of the best quotes I’ve seen in a long time

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

New York Rangers forward Sean Avery had this to say to reporters last week about playing in Toronto:
“No, I never enjoy going to Toronto, really. . . . Why? Let’s see. . . . Because I don’t enjoy hockey-obsessed Canadians. The [U.S. dollar] exchange is not very good right now. And it’s going to cost […]

Flyers Christmas Carol

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

On a good day, Ed Snider is pissed off.
With the Flyers in a tailspin and falling out of the playoff hunt so damn quickly, you can bet Snider’s in his pajamas somewhere pissed off tonight.
You and I dream of sugar plums (what the hell is a sugar plum? Must play for the Devils) this time […]

The Keebler Elf: Keep the Oven Mittens On

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Jaques Martin is the Keebler Elf.
I just watched three of his little elves on the Panthers get their asses beat down against the Canadiens. That includes Collin Campbell’s kid. Every time he drops the gloves he gets smoked. He might be the NHL equivalent of the WWF’s Leaping Lenny Poffo.
The point is that The head […]

Who Else Has Had it With …

Anyone else out there sick of Wayne Gretzky?
Come on, admit it. It’s OK. You’re not alone.

From 3rd to 10th in 3 weeks

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

On Dec. 1, I wrote a blog entry called Serious Slide.
At the time the Flyers sat 3rd in the Eastern Conference, 1st in the Atlantic Division and I said they were on their way to a serious slide. I have talked to Philly media types who claimed I was smoking banana peels for making such […]

Briere Bust Watch continued

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

When I see all these sheep at the game with Briere jerseys, I have to chuckle. Folks are stupid. And the Kool Aide in Philly is always flowing as these saps are ready to drink another cup of the Flyers are great beverage.
Yes, I am a Flyers fan. No, I do not like what the […]

Flyers Skid as predicted by Bully but there is hope

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

So I was right.
But the Flyers still have a chance to turn 2007 around and get a big win tonight at home vs the Sabres.
Won’t happen without some fists to the Sabres’ heads. Sissy up and you’ll lose. Man up and get a win.
Keep that girly Briere out of scrums. He is a disaster as […]

Wrinkled Eye Candy

Monday, December 17th, 2007

For God’s sake if Versus wants to improve their national NHL TV ratings and the same for NBC, can we get some chick hotter than Chris Simpson to work the player interviews?
She should be making soup for her kids on cold days and driving them to practice. She’s OK to look at if you’re at […]

New Kind of Philly Xmas

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

Normally the Flyers are kicking ass at Xmas time … and then the season ends in April. Miserably.
This year the Flyers have gone from 2nd in the East to now 7th in 2 months.
What does all this mean?
See my post entitled Serious Slide..
