In the NHL, there are two types of free agents.
Those who are gonna get paid and those who are GONNA GET PAID (I’m looking at you, Bryan Bickell!).
I kid, I kid… although the 2013 NHL lockout is going to look even more ridiculous this offseason once the next round of bloated contracts are signed (I’m, [...]

For whatever reason, Flyer fans don’t want to talk about how well the team has played, the team’s impressive offensive stats, Claude Giroux’s MVP caliber season, or how remarkable the team’s rookies have been.
Unfortunately, the focus of Flyer fans’ ire has been pinpointed on goaltending, like usual. Ilya Bryzgalov this, Sergei Bobrovsky that. Inconsistency here, [...]
