Forgot to mention that a lockout, especially an extended one, REALLY hurts Nashville to the point they'll have a hard time paying Weber.
Lockout Benefits Flyers
There will officially be an NHL Lockout now. It's time to start thinking about the positives for the Flyers and yes, there are some positives. On August 7th, Flyers defenseman Andrej Meszaros tore his achilles tendon. The Flyers hope he's able to return to the ice as quick as Justin Williams di...
I read somewhere that if we traded JVR, Bob, and Read for Nash, the cap hit would only be about +$2.5m of what it is now which isn't terrible (especially with the speculated cap increase from a new CBA). But really, I do NOT want to get rid of Read, he was my favorite rookie and showed incredible promise (really they all did). JVR, Bob, and a 1st should be enough imo.
Your (Almost) Daily JVR-Rick Nash Rumor

I agree, if this was Philadelphia, it'd get added to the list of things for national media to bring up every time they talk about our fans, but since it's not let's just brush it under the rug.
This is certainly worse than that lone douchebag who puked on the little girl but how many times do we have to be reminded how bad of fans we are because one asshole couldn't hold his alcohol?
Two Yinzers Ripped a PNC Park Security Guard's Finger Off This Weekend
I should tell you that this post is being written live from a Panera Bread, where a man, who I don’t know, decided that roughly 18 open tables didn’t suit his needs and he would plug his computer in and sit at my table, across from me. So I bring you this story while sharing a desk with a ma...
The good news is that if we get past the Pens, there's a chance we get Mesz back. At least Grossmann's listed as day-to-day...
p.s. Kennedy's hit looks worse.
Did Evgeni Malkin Give Nicklas Grossmann a Concussion?
On Tuesday, James Neal was suspended for this attempted hit on Claude Giroux. Neal chased Giroux down in the Flyers’ offensive zone, leapt slightly, and fired off an elbow into the back of his head. The glancing blow spun Giroux to the ice, ever so briefly. Neal received a one-game suspension ...
Gonna be fun embarrassing Pittsburgh on a national stage.
Flyers-Penguins First Round Playoff Schedule Released

Pro Image at the Neshaminy Mall was selling authentic Reebok jerseys for $30, replicas for $20 (unfortunately they only had DJax, Vick, and Asomugah). I already had a black replica DJax but I got a green authentic just because I couldn't pass up that deal (I waited until after they signed him to his new deal at least).
As far as I know, there's still more there, all the way in the back. I personally don't care in the least that I'll have an outdated manufacturer emblem.
The New Nike Eagles Jerseys
Photo via Darren Rovell on Who Say Here they are, the new Philadelphia Eagles Nike jerseys, and they’re exactly the same! Today at a press conference that mystifyingly wasn’t shown live on the NFL Network, the NFL and Nike unveiled the new jerseys to be worn by all 32 NFL teams. Previously, as ...
In regards to the Flyers not being as popular, I have a rebuttal. I know it's probably not a great way to judge fandom, but I see just as many Flyers license plate covers and window stickers as I do Eagles/Phillies (and practically no Sixers). So for what it's worth, they're definitely gaining momentum in the city.
Gushing Over The Flyers: A 24/7 Recap Wrapped Around a Love Letter From Bones
The Flyers are winning this city over. Sure, they were never not popular. But as recently as 2009, the Flyers were looked on as being closer to the Sixers in terms of popularity than they were to the surging Phillies, who were (and still are) the toast of the town. There will be folks - mostly...
While a sales pitch, he's still trying to save people $45, I don't know why people are getting all up in arms on Kyle.
Save 20% on Flyers Winter Classic Jerseys
Perhaps not surprisingly, Winter Classic (replica) jerseys are insanely expensive-- $219 with a player’s name, $169 without. That’s a lot, for a replica. According to Sarah Baicker, those are the prices at The Well. And those are also the prices on NHL.com and Modells.com (both sites are run b...
I agree with Adam B, DRC has been a gigantic bust. But really, neither Asante nor Nnamdi have done much better. It sucks we lost Nate Allen again, I felt like he was finally starting to get back to where he was before getting injured last year.
Oh well, at least the Flyers are doing well.
Bird Droppings: Typical
Dayum. I spent all night trying to come up with a name for that game, but nothing really stuck. The only word I kept coming back to was: Typical. It was typical that on the first drive of the game, Jay Cutlered his way through the Eagles defense like a hot knife through butter an average quart...
I'm sure it'd be real fun to go, but I feel like most seats wouldn't be able to see the ice very well. It'd probably be better at the Linc where the seats are more vertical and would contour around the ice.
Some Winter Classic Ticket Information
Photo: DC Visual Arts via Sam Carchidi: The NHL allotted the Flyers about 19,000 tickets to the Winter Classic, Tilger said. The NHL, the Rangers, and the Phillies were also allotted tickets. Citizens Bank Park is expected to hold about 45,000 for the game. Because of the number of tickets the...
Much better than the bootleg ones, I thought those were hideous. Like someone else said, the Flyers don't exactly have throwbacks since they're skating in jerseys very similar to what they wore back in the 60s.
Report: This is the Flyers Winter Classic Jersey
Wow. Our friends at Philly Sports Daily have been told, by multiple sources, that the above concept drawn by DC Visual Arts is, in fact, the actual Flyers Winter Classic jersey. Predictably, those of you who purchased Tony The Tiger fucks the Hamburglar sweaters are out of luck. Dave Isaac, Fl...
It'd be nice to have been able to keep him, but at the same time I really like the return we got for him.
Mike Richards Returns
Welcome to the post-Phillies, everyone is just laughing at the Eagles now world. A world in which we talk about hockey games still 36 hours from starting. As you know, El Capitan will be making his return to Philly tomorrow night (if you don’t think I’m sitting in the sixth row and wearing a O...
The o-line could use some work, but they're giving him time, he's just taking too long getting rid of it. Regardless, there should have been a couple flags for late hits.
The one bright part of the game was Shady McCoy. He's proving that he's one of the best RBs in the league.
Probably the most frustrating part of the game was our red zone offense. First the turnover (he's GOT to catch that), then 4 failed rushing attempts from the 1 yard line. I commend Reid for sticking with the run, but sometimes you gotta change it up a little. Give it to McCoy to take to the edge or something since running up the middle failed 3 times.
And seriously, how much longer is Casey Matthews going to be on this team?
Bird Droppings: Hand Job
That’s Vick’s post-game press conference, in case you haven’t seen it six times yet. Vick clearly isn’t happy. He’s been knocked out of both Eagles losses. What’s worse, Howard Eskin reported on NBC 10 last night that Vick will miss 3-4 weeks with his broken right hand. Shit. So how are we feel...
If nothing else, he should understand why the Santa incident bothers Philadelphia fans so much. He's also gotta realize that, even though in retrospect it might be obviously edited, initial viewing made it sound like he was agreeing with Mohr and "that black guy". He could have come on and stated his case without being so defensive.
Also, who sends emails like that? I can barely stand that kind of grammar on forums and texting.
CB Exclusive: Jeremy Roenick Defends His Comments About Philly Fans
Photo: OfficialJeremyRoenick.com After appearing on Jay Mohr’s ridiculous, soon-to-be canceled TV show, Jeremy Roenick took to his Twitter account to defend himself. His responses to fans were defensive, to say the least. Thanks to one well-connected reader, I was able to get a hold of Roenick...
I got McCoy at #10 last night (Brady, Brees, and Rodgers all went in the first), I think he's in for a big season, especially with all the dumping he gets due to our shaky O-line.

First we lose 97.5 The Hawk to sports radio and now WYSP? Come on, with all the terrible stations on the air, is it really necessary to take down one of the two rock stations in the area?
UPDATE: WIP to Take Over WYSP, Barkann to Join Lineup
Credit to Dan Gross of Philly.com, he has been all over this story. Two weeks ago, he reported this was a possibility, and now we learn that Angelo Cataldi will make an announcement this morning about the future of WIP, WYSP, and, by extension, Philly sports radio: [Philly.com] Expect 610 WIP...
I think asking the guys to give up drinking for the playoffs is a reasonable thing to ask. Or at least make it so they can only do it if there's 3+ days in between games (so they can at least party a little after winning a series).
However, asking them to give up alcohol several times for a month at a time seems somewhat unreasonable.
Welcome to Peter Laviolette's "Dry Island," the Place that May Have Gotten Mike Richards and Jeff Carter Traded
Miller Lite is not welcome on Dry Island What, I thought we were in the trust tree, with the nest? Are we not? What I am about to tell you is true. Allegedly. Just an incredible reporting job by gossip columnist Dan Gross in today's Daily News. Somehow, Gross got to the bottom of a story that,...
My first thought was Mike Missanelli. He can be such a douche and disguise it as being a sports radio jockey. He rails on people for being dead set in their opinions but then won't waver on his own regardless of the argument. I never understood why he had to be such a prick to Bruno every chance he had, but I wouldn't want to stand for that myself.
Anyways, Bruno will be missed.
Tony Bruno is Leaving 97.5 The Fanatic
I just got a bunch of emails saying Tony Bruno announced he was leaving 97.5 The Fanatic today. I didn't hear it, but it is confirmed via his Facebook Page: To all of my great friends who have been listening to 97.5 the Fanatic the last year and a half, I want you to know this has nothing to ...
Oh well, we still have Dan Carcillo's Moustache on Facebook.
So Dan Carcillo's Twitter Went Away...
Surprised, Clark? Car Bomb's Twitter (@og_carbomb13) no longer exsits, at least under that moniker. I mean, after Tweeting about finger sex and gingers in Boston, I was half expecting to sponsored Tweets from Lifestyles: For when her dad is not proud of her. Oh wells... Perhaps he'll make a tr...

Did Nikolay Zherdev Threaten to Kill His Wife?

J.T., I've felt the same way. Having a goaltender who can steal a game can be a HUGE momentum boost for a team. I'm not saying that the defense didn't suck it up against Boston, but having to come back from 2 or 3 goals every game has got to be exhausting both physically and mentally. I'd love to see Bob be the future of this franchise if he can have the proper training/mentorship. He's still young enough to be malleable and Bryz could be his sculptor.
But as many have said, Carter probably shouldn't be the one to go. Versteeg is a decent player (not great, but decent), but he just never seemed to click with this team. Getting rid of him really wouldn't be a big loss.

Yeah, I don't understand why he thinks wearing orange and not holding management accountable are the same thing. The sea of orange gets the guys on the ice pumped up and can be intimidating to an opposing team. I'm certain that just about every person wearing on of those orange shirts was pretty angry at the management for all the crap that got screwed up over the course of the 2nd half of the season.

I agree with Bobby Mac. As amazing as JVR has been, this was too much of a stretch to make it work.
