Sleeping Flyers lose to Minnesota, 2-1
Two mistakes by Michael Leighton, sleeping offense, and a stunning performance by Anton Khudobin. That's the story of tonight's game. And that's really all I'm going to talk about here. In his first NHL start, the rookie Anton Khudobin made 38 saves on 39 shots. A lot of those shots were put right into his chest, though. The Flyers made Khudobin look better than he probably is. Or maybe he's good. ...
Flyers acquire Ville Leino from Detroit, in exchange for Ole-Kristian Tollefsen
Ole-Kristian Tollefsen's short, injury-plagued stint with the Philadelphia Flyers has come to an end. The Flyers traded the 25 year old defenseman and a fifth round draft pick in the 2011 Entry Draft this morning to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange of forward Ville Leino. Ville Leino was orginally signed by the Red Wings in 2008 from Jokerit of the Finnish League. Ville Leino has played in 55 NHL games ...
Our first and last article on the Kovalchuk Sweepstakes
There's a guy who plays for the Atlanta Thrashers and you may've heard of him lately. His name is Ilya Kovalchuk and Atlanta GM Don Waddell is looking for a trading partner to dish the highly skilled superstar. The problem here is, if you remember the whole Jay Bouwmeester situation of yesteryear, Waddell is asking for entirely too much in return. Eklund has been going rumor crazy as of late saying ...
Former Flyer buries his old team late in game, Flyers fall to Oilers, 1-0
The Flyers just lost to the NHL's worst team. The Flyers just lost to a player they used to call their own. Ryan Potulny buried the Flyers tonight with just 16 seconds left in the game, after Darroll Powe was taken to the box on a high sticking minor. The Flyers traded Ryan Potulny for Danny Syvret, and Potulny now has 12 goals - just as many as Scott Hartnell. Defensively, ...
Richards, complete defensive effort shut down Flames, 3-0
Tim Panaccio must have been watching a different game tonight. Or, he's been reading too much Eklund the last two days. Or, shit, I don't know, but he's not too bright right now. In his recap article of tonight's 3-0 shut out against the Calgary Flames, Panaccio writes: "The 3-0 victory was anything but pretty hockey against a Calgary team that had won just once in its past 10 games." ...

Phantoms Update pt. 2
The Phantoms currently sit 4th in the East Division (last playoff spot) with a total of 38 points through 38 games. While that seems okay, this was a team that was on the upswing at the start of training camp, yet has underachieved, scoring the lowest amount of goals in the league. While AHL scoring is down as a whole, the fact that this team doesn’t... [Read more of this review]
On The Farm #1
So I’ll be honest, I haven’t followed the Phantoms as closely this year. It’s kind of hard getting to games when I’m in another state. Oh well. I also don’t think I’m going to shell out my money for AHL Live’s subpar service, so I’m stuck looking at boxscores and relying on beat writers from lovely Glens... [Read more of this review]
