not how the Flyers wanted to start their 6 game road swing. Not only
did the Flyers play flat in a 5-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, they
also suffered a pair of injuries which will keep their best defenseman

Flyers-Hurricanes: Game 1 of the Relentless Quest for the Cup
This is the day that summer is really over for me. Never mind that the leaves started to fall last week, the temps have already dipped, and I can't seem to get to work without being stuck behind a school bus anymore. The Phillies have clinched a place in the postseason, and...

Travel Woes and a Costly Loss
Those of us hoping for a reprise of the Flyers' third period four-goal comeback over the Hurricanes didn't quite get it last night. The Blackhawks started scoring early, and the Flyers just couldn't keep up with them on the ice. 5 on 5's looked like power plays, and...

Maybe I'm not as hockey-smart as I thought I was. After going 7 for 8 with my first round predictions (although I didn't get any of the series lengths correct), I took a nosedive with my second round predictions, going 2 for 4. Of course, since I picked against the Flyers in...
