I wonder when Avery will come out.
Where's Scott Hartnell?!
Photo: Sixers Twitter Well, he was at the Sixers game on Friday night, taking part in one of Matt Cord’s patented awkward courtside interviews. But, more importantly, Hartnell appeared in the below public service message: Led by Flyers scout Patrick Burke and his father, Toronto GM Brian Bu...
My tweet got featured. SUING!!!! Just kidding. o.O
James van Riemsdyk Doesn't Want You Booing Ilya Bryzgalov, The $51 Million Goaltender Searching For Peace
Truth. The goaltending situation got more uncomfortable today. Just a few hours before Paul Holmgren traded for Pavel Kubina, JVR and Ilya Bryzgalov spoke with the media, both touching on the scrutiny put on goaltenders in Philadelphia (gee, I wonder why?). First up, Bryz: [quotes via the Fl...
Her gross face is the only thing that is NSFW about this photo. #NBHNC
This is Julie Dorenbos Without Pants
Well, she has pants, but they’re made out of paint. Pants. Paint. Paint pants! Page views!! I'm dizzy. The photo is after the jump-- it’s NSFW. That sound you hear is little boys everywhere honing their long-snapping skills, and, um, you know...
Elliot would be a steal from St. Louis, but we'd have to work on the D as well. I can't blame Bryz, or hate this contract. It was the contract chess game the Flyers were playing that got rid of Richards and Carter and got us guys like Cooter, Simmonds, Jagr and Voracek. I would take them over Carts and Richie any day.
CBC Columnist Theorizes That Flyers Could Look For Another Goalie
Holy bat shit, Batman! Now, this is one of those speculatory conjectured rumor opinioned masturbatory theorizing hypothetical my-cousin-told-your-cousin-who-told-my-friend-who-told-your-mother ruminations, but it is interesting nonetheless. From CBC’s Elliote Freedman via Broad Street Hockey...
This should end the trade rumors. Not that I believe he was going anywhere. Especially for a player like Luke Schenn who has been even more underwhelming than JVR. Not that I don't love JVR, but the fact that he was second only to Patrick Kane in the draft is pretty funny looking back.
JVR Out Indefinitely With Concussion
This is the hit - by the Senators' Bobby Butler - that most likely gave JVR his concussion. Senators announcers called JVR's reaction an embellishment. Awesome! Paul Holmgren issued a very detailed statement: "James was hit in the head in each of our last two games. He reported yesterday...
"We don't want to block the shot... because it hurts." I love Lavy.
The Complete Peter Laviolette
We are revisiting this post from early January-- The Complete Peter Laviolette, all of Lavs' baby-punch inspiring scenes from 24/7. Get fully torqued and watch. ... There were many highlights of HBO’s 24/7, the most notable of which, in my opinion, was the network’s outstanding portrayal of Fl...
Players like Jody Shelley are not long for this world in the NHL, and I certainly don't see the need for him on the Flyers.
That being said, Brandon Dubinsky has yet to make it out of the first round of the playoffs in his career, so maybe he should shut the fuck up for a while.
Brandon Dubinsky Took Swipes at Jody Shelley and Zac Rinaldo Today
Brandon Dubinsky, forward, New York Rangers That sound you hear is an HBO producer masturbating feverishly in a darkened editing room somewhere (at what you are about to read, not the above picture. we think). Earlier today, when it was announced that Chris Pronger will undergo knee surgery, th...
He left in the part where his mom yells at him? He's asking to be trolled.
Video: This Rather Hefty Eagles Fan Sums Up Your Feelings About Yesterday's Loss in a 10 Minute Profanity Laced Rant
Here’s YouTube user eatdatpussy445 (a name which leads us to believe that there may be 444 others with a similar moniker) ranting (tantrum?) over yesterday’s shameful loss to the Cardinals. It’s 10 minutes long, and while the whole thing is worth a watch, the real fun begins at the 2:51 mark. A...
How will we "spin" this? There's not much to spin. Paterno didn't pull a Jim Tressel. He told Jim Curley about it immediately. Why is this being ignored? Not Joe's fault in any way. "Joe must go?" Fuck off.
UPDATE: Joe Paterno Releases Statement... And, Well, It's Awful
What? I knew nothing Joe Paterno released a statement today. It was either written by Joe himself, or the worst PR person in the world. A graduate assistant, who was later identified as current Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary, testified to a grand jury that he told Paterno what he saw...
I respect the caliber of hockey player that JR is, and his time with the team. That being said, I never thought that he was a Flyer.
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...
Guy with the camera is making my new, favorite face. Epic.
Brett Favre to Eagles "Unlikely," Vick Wants Him
Oh what the fuck? Last night, I watched my first ever live soccer match (a thoroughly enjoyable experience) after seeing the Phillies (on TV) win a wild one against the Padres. A nice little Saturday, actually. All that was missing was some Home Depot and Bed Bath & Beyond. What do I wake up t...
Those girls are gonna get a face full of Carts.
Your Mourning Carts: I Took a Private Jet to Canada to Wakeboard and See Mike Richards Wear a Flyers Shirt Edition
Shot through the heart and you're to blame You give love a bad name (Bad name) I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name (Bad name) Hey, you give love a bad name - Bon Jovi Oh the pain. Never mind the fact that a Philly boys weekend sounds like something a promiscuous c...
I love this site. Don't get me wrong, Kyle, but e-fucking-nough with the Superbad reference. Seriously? Funny thing about my back, Jules, is that it's played out.
Video: Ricky Bottalico Discusses the "Bulging Dick" in Roy Oswalt's Back
The funny thing about Roy Oswalt's back, Jules........ Tonight on Daily News Live, Ricky Bo was asked if he thought Roy Oswalt will return this season. You know, if Little Roy just had the bulging disc, he may... but he might want to get that other thing looked at: We were asked to remove the...
A slow sports day indeed.
Kristen Stewart Wearing a Phillies Shirt
Photo credit National Photo Group via People Bouncy bouncy bouncy. Of course a vampire would be wearing a black Phillies t-shirt. That is all. Cliff Lee. H/T to (@WhitneyE1216)
Have to agree with Nicole here. Every time I hear about a back injury to a Philadelphia player, I cringe twice. Once for the injury, and once more because I know I'm going to have to see this title... again.
The Funny Thing About Polanco's Back, Jules...
Same thing as Oswalt. Those things linger. Not good. Charlie Manuel said he would prefer Polanco not play in the All-Star Game, but would never force him to sit out.
There is some, SOME, truth in rumors. If it was getting around that Richie liked drugs, chances are he did. I agree with everything Kyle said. There is a fair amount of upside in what has gone on these last few weeks. We weren't going to win a cup with minor chances. I would rather look towards the future than look forward towards a present that can produce nothing more than what we have already seen. It is scary. It is uncertain. It is a change that happened sooner, rather than later. But it is a change that needed to happen sooner than later. 10 years down the line we could have all been crying about how we needed two other players next to Giroux, Van Riemsdyk, and Briere. We have a goalie. We've been dying for one since Hextall. Now we're willing to turn on this team when they lock one up? The Bruins were made up of grit, and good goaltending. That is the make-up of a Stanley Cup team in the league as it is. I believe in Paul Holmgren. I believe in the new Flyers. Be true fans. Stand by your team, even though you may not agree with their moves.
Making Sense of it All: Part II
Thanks in small part to a couple of 302s, and in large part to another sunny beach day, I am extending the holiday weekend by 24 hours. But fear you shant. Here now is Dan Hershberg, the brilliant mind behind Philly Phaithful and a bit of a Paul Holmgren apologist (Homerist?). These are his ...
I suppose you would want to pay Leino almost 5 million a year? Well I'm glad you're not in the front office. People act like Jagr is coming out of retirement; he's been playing hockey this whole time. Talbot is a great pick-up and we trimmed the fat getting Carcillo the hell out of here. Sean O'Donnell did a little more than jack shit, other than look like John LeClair's clone-gone-wrong. Stop crying, this team will be fine.
Paul Holmgren Conference Call Audio
Holmgren held a conference call with reporters tonight. What you all want to know: Is he done, and what about Brad Richards? "Uh... we're still talking, for sure. Whether we're in or not [Richards], I think that would be a tough one. More moves left? "We still have a little flexbility. I d...
I certainly like the "#flyers wait for the news. Soon, soon" tweet. I think it will get done, I just hope the cap rises enough so we can keep Leino, although it isn't likely to happen.
Ilya Bryzgalov Has Joined Twitter After Touring Philadelphia
Oh, awesome. In Soviet Russia, Russian goalie use Twitter, apparently. This afternoon, word quickly spread around the interwebtuals that Bryz joined Twitter (@bryzgoalie30). It looks like it's really him. According to Teemu (@euroflyers), who covers hockey across the pond for Broad Street H...
