And time after time, I am disappointed by my team's … Continue reading Season Beginnings

Let me preface this short piece by saying this: The Philadelphia Flyers are a hot mess. The 2020-2021 season has been less than ideal, and I cannot say I am confident in our current roster.

He has not looked bad this season, but he also has not looked like the player he was in juniors. I … Continue reading Nolan Patrick Is Not A Bust … Yet

The Philadelphia Flyers have not had the best of starts to the season. But somehow, the Flyers stand at 8-3-3, good for second place in the East, or the MassMutual division.

Do you remember June 3rd, 2019, the day Kevin Hayes was traded to the Flyers for an expensive asking price of $49.98 million? Oh, you don't? Well I do. Many of you Flyers fans were upset with ole' Chucky Two-Trades. I read tweets that went along the lines of "why on earth would you spend … Continue reading Kevin “Worth Every Penny” Hayes

Let me tell you a story about how I got my first concussion during a high school soccer game. As I stood on the puddled-filled pitch, I looked up at my opponents from across the field. Rain droplets fell down rapidly, making the already sloppy field soaked. As I gazed over at each and every … Continue reading The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

This season has been one wild ride. From having a solid start to the season, to a small fork in the road where we couldn't win a game for our lives, and then miraculously playing great, consistent hockey, this season has made me feel a wide range of emotions. Now, everyone on this team has … Continue reading December Evaluation: Defense

This is the story of Samuel Morin's tragic career. Morin began his professional career in 2011 playing with the Rimouski Oceanic of the QMJHL.
