Hockey is a business. I get that, really I do. Players come, players go, it is the nature of the beast. I am fine with that....most of the time. There have been some trades that cut deep.

The Cost of Flyers Hockey in 2020
I have been waiting for news of the NHL starting back up for months. Being able to work from home has left me able to stalk Twitter, Instagram and the NHL website more frequently. When the news broke that training camps would start on July 13th with games beginning on August 1st, I was giddy … Continue reading The Cost of Flyers Hockey in 2020
