BSH Radio 6: Ben and Geoff play Flyers trivia, plus Olympic talk and a Latvian eulogy

Ben Rothenberg eulogizes the 2010 Latvian Olympic team on this week's show.

Ben Rothenberg eulogizes the 2010 Latvian Olympic team on this week's show.

On this week's edition of Broad Street Hockey Radio, it's clear that the Olympic break has gone to our heads a little bit.

In an effort to spice up the proceedings since there isn't much Flyers related stuff to talk about, Travis put together a little Flyers related trivia game for Ben and Geoff to play against each other. There was a decisive winner of the contest, and if you'd like to challenge him in a future show, let us know ASAP. Listen to the show to find out who the winner was, of course.

Also, trying to spice things up a little more and inspire some listener interaction, we welcomed frequent commenter Jason, aka HockeyOutsiders, on the show to talk some Flyers hockey, as well as what it's like to be a Canadian and a Flyers fan simultaneously. Oh, and since it's the Olympic season, we had to talk some curling.

Ben also prepared a heartfelt eulogy for our brothers in arms, the Latvian Olympic hockey team, and he delivered it towards the beginning of this week's show. We also talked some Olympic hockey and whether or not Chris Pronger's poor play in the tournament is a concern going forward.

Get the show after the jump.

Awesome eulogy, Ben. Awesome eulogy. It brought a tear to my eye.

Proudly supporting a Flyers team with "no honor".

A fate worse than death!

just don’t fall victim to one of the classic blunders…the most famous of which is “never get involved in a land war in Asia”, but only slightly less is “never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!”

I really, really want Roenick to hit Milbury, but I really, really want Roenick to continue his “budding” broadcasting career as well so that he can come to the Flyers and replace Coatsey in a few years once Coatsey has to be hospitalized for alcoholism. How great would it be to see JR flipping off Crosby and speaking his mind down between the benches? Pure, gold!

Loved the show gents. I laughed pretty hard at the caller saying how much she loves you guys and Ben’s eulogy was nothing short of brilliant! As always, I am looking forward to the next broadcast and am trying to think of some excuse to call in again and leave a voice mail!

I have no idea what’s going on in that picture you chose, Travis, but I’m all the sudden incredibly jealous of that guy. Not only did he get to hold up a little piece of paper that says “Latvia,” he probably also got to say it out loud into that sweet microphone.

That how they randomly choose what group each team will be in. They used the same method for this summer’s World Cup in South Africa.

I think the picture is from Euro 2006 soccer.

Ah, that explains it! So I was partially right . . .
