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 [...]

I guess you could call this a Season Preview but we’ll just call it the Game Preview. Also, today is my birthday!
Back on October 5, 2005, the New York Rangers played a game for the first time in over a year. The NHL was finally back after a lock-out that led to the [...]

Yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine (flyers fan) about Jeremy Roenick. One of the fond memories I have of Roenick was when his jaw was shattered at the hands of the Rangers. I couldn’t remember who it was that shot the puck that broke Jeremy’s jaw into a million pieces [...]

The Philadelphia Flyers showed they were still very much alive last night when they beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 to stave off elimination. The Penguins now lead the series 3-1. The Flyers scored three goals in the first period to jump out to a 3-0 lead heading into the first intermission. Things [...]

The question is: am I referring to the Red Wings or the Penguins?
Red Wings vs. Penguins looks like a foregone conclusion for the Stanley Cup Finals, which should make hockey fans, TV executives, and the NHL all happy.
Both teams are playing on a different level from everyone else. The Penguins have an incredible 11-1 record [...]

Starting next season, the NHL will revert back to the system used before the lockout. Each team will play the other four teams in their division six times (3 home games and 3 road games) and play the other 10 teams in their conference four times (2 home games and 2 road games). The remaining [...]

Well now that my beloved Rangers are hitting the links, I have to decide which team I want to see win the Stanley Cup.
Eric, you’re going to root for an Eastern Conference team, right?
Nope! I was pulling for the Flyers to beat the Canadiens because, let’s face it, I don’t like the Canadiens or [...]

After the refs swallowed their wistles for the second half of the second period and all of the third, who else but Tom Poti would get called for tripping in OT? That’s just what happened and the Flyers scored a Power Play goal just 9 seconds before the penalty was over. Oh well.
Now [...]
Tonight’s games might answer the question of “Who’s next” for the Rangers

Tonight’s games include Game 7 of the Bruins-Canadiens series and Game 6 of the Flyers-Capitals series.
The Rangers can still play any team that is left except for Boston. Here are the scenarios:
If Boston wins, the Rangers will play the winner of the Flyers-Capitals series.
If Montreal wins and the Flyers win, the Rangers will play [...]

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 [...]
