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.

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…

If Ben Simmons was a Flyer
It is a Flyers Game Day, and I should be reading about my boys in Orange and Black on Social Media.
