Your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news...

Last night's NHL scores... Sharks 4, Flyers 1 - LAK 6, CBJ 2 - VAN 2, EDM 0
Recaps of last night's Flyers loss to the Sharks from the Associated Press, the Inquirer, CSN Philly, the Courier-Post, and the San Jose Mercury News.
The big news of the weekend was that captain Mike Richards was not suspended for his hit on Florida's David Booth. That's been debated and is done with, but one Florida blog wonders where the on-ice response was following the hit. [Litter Box Cats]
The good news is that Booth has been released from the hospital. [Florida Panthers]
There was a report yesterday that the Flyers are after veteran winger Brendan Shanahan. Some opinion, please. [Clockwork Orange]
The Flyers were the most penalized team in the NHL last season, but the 'Canes are trying to take that title away. [Canes Country]
The lost art of hockey gloves as a fashion statement. [Fear The Fin]
The Ducks will assign Luca Sbisa to either his junior club in Lethbridge or "elsewhere." [OC Register]
Steve Yzerman was in Philadelphia for the last three games scouting for Team Canada. [NHL.com]
Players are required by the NHL rulebook to wear a helmet. Goalies, on the other hand, are not. [Kukla's]

The goalie one isn’t entirely true. Goalkeepers are still covered under Rule 9.5 (Protective Equipment) that says all players must wear a helmet. However, the protective mask is optional under Rule 11.7 (Masks).

No on Shanahan. Do they want to give us Sbisa back? How likely is it that Yzerman was pleased? And I’m glad Booth is okay.

Pass on Shanahan. Why oh why did we not spend 700K and get Malhotra?
