Your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news...
- Last night's NHL scores... Flyers 3, Kings 2 - FLA 6, BUF 2 - DAL 3, DET 1 - PHX 3, MIN 2 - EDM 6, COL 4
- Recaps of last night's/this morning's squeaker in LA from the AP, NHL.com, the Inquirer, Daily News, Bucks Co. Times, CSN Philly, the Kings (and much more at Kings Insider), FGSB, and Flying P.
- Several articles about Randy Jones playing the Flyers for the first time. [Inquirer] - [Daily News] - [CSN]
- Keith Primeau speaks on living life with head injuries. [Daily News]
- This story was posted by Geoff in the FanShots yesterday, but I wanted to put more of a spotlight on it here. Apparently, Metro Philadelphia thinks that Darroll Powe is a defenseman. I've reached out to the editor for comment, so hopefully we'll have more on this later. [Metro]
- The Phantoms won last night 2-0 over Toronto. Tim McManus: "How do you have a winning record (8-6-1-0) when you’ve scored just 34 times in 15 games? By only allowing 37" Johan Backlund has been great. [Post-Star]
- Adirondack has a game on Thanksgiving. Really, AHL? [Phantoms]
- The worst call all season. And I don't think this can be topped. From Wings-Stars last night... [Puck Daddy]
- CSN is giving away a trip to Boston for the Winter Classic. [CSN]
- I firmly believe the Flyers are contenders; they got better over the summer and they’re used to playing without Simon Gagne anyway. They had great special teams last year, and Chris Pronger has been playing at a Norris Trophy level so far this season. [Hockey Or Die]

Haha, I also sent a sarcastically critical email to them too.

It’s a great paper to use to line a bird or hamster cage with. But I don’t think they actually use editors, or check facts.
I’m a big fan of the sudoku and crosswords. Really, the only reason I get the paper.

Holy shit that was a bad call, and I agree it won’t be topped. Babcock should have flipped out when Malkin didn’t get suspended in the finals and once again should have flipped out with that call. The further you behind over backwards to not critique NHL officiating the further they seem to shove it up your ass.
To be read aloud in a stock, "toothless old man" voice:
Back in my day, we didn’t HAVE “winter classics” like you kids do today! No sir! “Hockey games,” WE called ‘em. That’s because we didn’t HAVE any fancy “Wachovia Centers” or the like. Nope! We walked uphill to the frozen pond every day, played without helmets and we LIKED it!
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
If it’s any consolation doubleh, I’m no spring chicken either. But I’m sure that neither of us are technically “old.”

What I don’t get about that atrocious call is: Even with the “intent to blow the whistle” (which itself needs to be eliminated), the official could not possibly have intended to blow the whistle before the puck went in. I’d love to hear an explanation from the NHL, since even those in Toronto said no goal. Just incomprehensible.

Is it just me, or has he been getting progressively more “Cranky old grandpa” on us?

speaking of reporters what the hell happened to Ed Moran and the other more negative guy with the mustache, or Sam Donnelen (sp) didn’t they all cover the Flyers a couple of years ago haven’t seen any of those guys anywhere
Sam Donnellen still is with the paper. He writes usually bad columns every once in a while. I have no idea what happened to Ed Moran. Searching the philly.com site, it looks like he hasn’t written an article since the summer.

That goal call in the Detroit game was terrible. I mean freaking just awful. Anyways I thought we played decent last night. I thought for the 2nd period last night we were dominant. First period was about even and in the 3rd period we did what road teams flying across the country doing, held on for dear life.

The Detroit Goal Call has been topped
Or a call that’s equally as bad
