Observations From A Socially-Distanced Hockey Game
For the first time in 13 months I stepped foot inside the PPL Center to take in a Lehigh Valley Phantoms game. The feelings were hard to describe. Excited to be back at a place that has more or less been a second home the past few years, yet the underlying nervousness because, ya know, … Continue reading Observations From A Socially-Distanced Hockey Game
Too Little Too Late For Flyers Playoff Hopes?
A shortened hockey season means every game is more intense. With just 56 games on the docket, fighting for a playoff spot happens far earlier in the season than usual.

Andrew MacDonald was the Hero We Needed, and We Were Too Blind to See It
We all owe Andrew MacDonald an apology. Although he wasn't an offensive dynamo, he was defensively sound and one of the best leaders this team ever had. Going back to June 15, 2019 is heart breaking. The cornerstone of our defense was confusingly placed on unconditional waivers with the intention of buying him out. $5 … Continue reading Andrew MacDonald was the Hero We Needed, and We Were Too Blind to See It
Don’t Re-Sign Travis Sanheim
The Philadelphia Flyers are having a rough 2021 campaign thanks in part to the state of their defense core which has underperformed all season.

Where are The Flyers?
There has been a lot of talk about what is wrong with the Flyers lately; we need a pure goal scorer, Kevin Hayes is lazy, JvR is slow, the defense is weak, Carter Hart is shaky. While all of these statements might have an air of truth about them, I have my own thoughts on … Continue reading Where are The Flyers?
