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.

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

Hockey for me is not all about numbers, it’s about an exciting sport, the one I personally consider the most exciting on the planet. I get that stats are important for Fantasy Hockey. I also freely admit that my … Continue reading A Rant on CORSI
Is it over yet?
Watching the Flyers play since they returned from the Covid pause forced by a team outbreak has been torture. I love this team fiercely and have for as long as I can remember, but this has been god awful, torture second only to sleep deprivation. As I suffered through both last night I was roughing … Continue reading Is it over yet?
