What A Difference A Year, and a Coach, Makes

The Flyers played their home opener at the new Xfinity Mobile Center last night, Monday October 13th. I tuned in early, to see the player introductions and tribute to Bernie Parent, the Hall of Fame Goalie we lost just a few weeks ago. The ceremony was beautiful, the intros were exciting, and the crowd was … Continue reading What A Difference A Year, and a Coach, Makes

Coots is a Bad Captain?

Much has been said of Sean Couturier continuing to "bad mouth" former coach John Tortorella. That he needs to move on and lead this team, not dwell on the previous coach benching players for little to no reason, pullng them from the power play or penalty kill, what have you. Now, none of us were … Continue reading Coots is a Bad Captain?

Give Tocchet A Chance

Yes, I adore Rick Tocchet, that's no secret. I also adore Danny Briere, also not a secret. So obviously, I was glued to the broadcast when Danny introduced Rick as the 25th Coach of my beloved Flyers. I also know that I am in the minority of Flyers fans in believing that this decision is … Continue reading Give Tocchet A Chance

A Tale of Two Goalies

It was the best of days, It was the worst of days. I woke up today, excited to see former Flyer Sergei Bobrovsky and his Florida Panthers celebrate their Stanley Cup win with a parade down A1A. Bob might no longer wear orange and black, but he has always been a favorite of mine. I … Continue reading A Tale of Two Goalies

#OSKARSTRONG: It’s more than a hashtag

As 2022 draws to a close, I am very greatful for so much. This has been a very difficult year for me, a year that has seen me having more in common with Oskar Lindblom than I ever thought possible. I July of 2022 I began having serious issues that saw me hospitalized, and later … Continue reading #OSKARSTRONG: It’s more than a hashtag

It’s Over…

I have been a Flyers fan for as long as I can remember, through thick and thin. I have welcomed every new player, as I would family. That ended today, with the addition of a racist, homophobic player that I will not even name I am so sickened by the addition. I took off a … Continue reading It’s Over…

My Team

The 2021-22 Flyers season has come to a close. I have watched every game. I get it, this has been a difficult season, one that started with so much hope. The additions of Cam Atkinson, Ryan Ellis, Risto and Keith Yandle to the roster had me, and many Flyers fan, looking forward to spring, with … Continue reading My Team

Hockey is for EVERYONE?

The Flyers included a short video tribute to Willie O'Ree prior to their shoot out loss to the Islanders on 18JAN2022. Is hockey really for everyone?

Ron Hextall…Bad GM, Badass Goalie

It was recently brought to light that Ron Hextall made some very bad decisions as the Flyers General Manager. Do these bad choices truly tarnish his legacy as a goaltender? I understand cancel culture, and there are times when it is appropriate (yes,I am looking at you, Evander Kane...you and Burt's eyebrows) but I have … Continue reading Ron Hextall…Bad GM, Badass Goalie

Ryan Ellis…Shea Weber 2.0

Ryan Ellis is not the first defense savior for the Flyers that did not materialize. Once upon a time, Shea Weber was a Flyer....for about five seconds. Ryan Ellis has made it longer than five seconds, but the disappointment tastes very familiar in the mouths of long time Flyers fans. With the Weber signing, we … Continue reading Ryan Ellis…Shea Weber 2.0
