Aside from trading R.J. Umberger to Columbus and Sami Kapanen retiring, not very much went on with the Flyers this offseason.  Yes, last season they shot from the league basement to the Conference Finals, but they still got thrashed by our back-up goalie whenever we played them.   Stevie V posted a 3-0-1 record against [...]

Well now that my beloved Rangers are hitting the links, I have to decide which team I want to see win the Stanley Cup.

Going into game 4 of the series the visiting team has won each game. In fact, visiting teams are 13-14 so far in the playoffs. Jaromir Jagr, while laughing, had this to say.
It’s been huge so far. I knew it was going to be like that. That’s why we lost [...]
