NHL – Off-season Update

Posted on July 25, 2012 by in NHL

So it’s been a pretty slow off-season with more rumors I think than actual signings. The rumors this year have been pretty crazy compared to what I am used to, though I’ll admit this is the closest I’ve ever followed the NHL offseason. It seems like most teams keep waiting to see what the biggest [...]

NHL – Oops… The Season’s Over… Off Season

Posted on June 21, 2012 by in NHL

So… The NHL season is over. I know I didn’t write a Finals preview but did anyone really expect the Devils to win the Cup? Did I have to predict the Kings to win in 4 in order for anyone to believe they would. No, everyone knew what the outcome would be. I would have [...]

Flyers in 6!  Called it! In what was one of the craziest, high scoring, cheap shot taking, emotionally draining series I’ve seen in a while, the Flyers shut down the ever-favored Penguins in 6 games. I have just three words to describe my feelings: Suck. It. Bettman. (This was actually chanted at the end of [...]

I’ll admit I’m a complete homer and I’m only writing this because I am a Flyers fan. And yes, I am also picking them to win this series, regardless of the 37 [...]

Philadelphia Flyers – Let’s Start Looking to Next Season

Posted on February 16, 2012 by in NHL

First off let’s recap the Flyers season from last year real quick: Last year the Flyers were the talk of the NHL for much of the year. It started with their dominant first half of the season. They were 33-12-5 and sat atop the Eastern Conference, looking like a lock for the #1 seed. Then [...]

Crosby Needs a New Doctor

Posted on February 1, 2012 by in NHL

Concussions are certainly taking their toll on players in the NHL this season. Unfortunately, Sidney Crosby went from poster boy of the NHL to poster boy of post-concussion symptoms. So much so that a lot of people think he’ll never play again. Or at a high level, at least (though in the few games he’s [...]
