After finally notching a win, the Flyers got more good news, as they announced they had acquired former Flyer Vaclav Prospal from the Tampa Bay Lightning for minor league defenseman Alexandre Picard and a draft pick. Prospal was in a feud with the Lightning coaches over his playing time, so the Flyers might have gotten a bargain. Here is a hilarious interview he did after a recent Lightning game....

Flyers Free Falling

Via theaddshow.com  |  February 25, 2008
The Flyers have picked the worst time to go without a win in their last 10 games. In the ever competitive eastern conference, they need wins...and they need them now. Read up on what's gone wrong and who needs to being contributing.

Flyers Finally WIN!!

Via All Things Philly Sports  |  February 25, 2008
Danny Briere got the last laugh. After being booed all evening by the Buffalo fans that used to root for the former Sabre, Briere scored the clinching goal in the shootout to lead the Flyers to a 4-3 victory over the Sabres. The loss finally stops the Flyers 10 game losing streak.

Richards Injury Opens Door for Forsberg?

Via All Things Philly Sports  |  February 24, 2008
So Mike Richards went down, he'll be out three weeks with a torn hamstring. These are the types of kick-us-when-we're-down injuries that seem to only happen in Philadelphia. Well, as soon as Richards was knocked out, Hockeybuzz re-started our favorite rumor: Peter Forsberg is coming to Philly...

Forsberg Skunks Philadelphia; Flyers Snap Losing Streak (New Flyers Wallpaper)

Via All Philadelphia Sports  |  February 25, 2008
I'm pretty stunned. I was sure that if Forsberg would return this season, it would be for the Flyers (they are still ahead of the Avalanche in the standings). I would say the 10-game winning streak and the recent injuries to Gagne and Richards was a serious factor.

Flyers Climb Back on Horse; Pick Up a Passenger

Via theaddshow.com  |  February 26, 2008
It took guts for John Stevens to put Danny Briere in the third and final slot of a shootout for the second time in a week amid his slump which resembled the horridness of the team's 10 game winless drought. What was perhaps even more surprising was that Briere made the shot. The Philly fans helped warm up Briere for the senseless booing he received in his former city of Buffalo...

Forsberg Goes Back to Colorado

Via Broad St. Bias  |  February 25, 2008
As reported earlier here, Peter Forsberg announced his return to the NHL. Only not with the Orange and Black, he'll be returning to the Colorado Avalanche where he won two Stanley Cups. The Avs are currently in 10th place in the Western Conference and have 1 more point then the Flyers who are currently on a 10 game skid.

Forsberg Signs with Avs

Via All Things Philly Sports  |  February 25, 2008
Well, so much for a return to Philadelphia. In what might make Flyers fans breathe a sigh of relief, the Colorado Avalanche signed Peter Forsberg for the remainder of the season. The oft-injured forward will attempt to make his comeback on the team that he began his NHL career with
