Alberts-Biron Paradox – A scientific phenomenon which involves miniature wormholes and/or temporary spiritual possession. The Alberts-Biron Paradox occurs in a team’s defensive end and causes defensive-minded players to inexplicably turn over pucks in their possession, especially during inopportune times. Discovered by defenseman Andrew Alberts and goaltender Martin Biron on December 4, 2008 when both players committed unnecessary turnovers which changed a 2-1 Flyers lead late in the 3rd period into a 3-2 overtime loss.

The Alberts-Biron Paradox happens often enough to less talented players that its occurrence is sometimes in doubt (see Jones, Randy). However, it has been proven to exist. The most recent example of the Alberts-Biron Paradox in effect was seen in the games of Chris Pronger and Matt Carle on May 20, 2010.

Seidenberg’s Uncertainty Principle - The variable success rate of undersized, though skilled, defensemen who enter the National Hockey League as members of the Philadelphia Flyers. Seidenberg’s Uncertainty Principle usually cannot be resolved until the defensemen in question leave the Flyers for another team, whether via trade, free agency, or waivers. Named for German-born defenseman Dennis Seidenberg who was under-sized and underwhelming as a member of the Flyers late in the “Dead Puck” Era (1995-2004), but who has since come into his own in the “New NHL.”

Yes, I would like one. I keep seeing the term used, but I have no idea what it means.

Thank you in advance. :)

n. Mysterious and powerful, invoked by its one true master, Ben Rothenberg. A slumping player is given the Rothenboost, and responds by being the best thing on ice.

Origins: “I don’t care if Leino never plays another game for the Flyers”, Rothenberg.
The Rothenboost’d Leino then scores 1 goal and 1 assist in his next game.

The first Rothenboost seems to be the most powerful and long-lasting, evidenced by Leino’s play since first obtaining it, other Rothenboosts tend to last for a period or 1-2 games.

To tout one’s favorite player even when no one asked you to, or when not relevant. Especially when the adoration of said player is at least 45% based on looks.

Mystery Box’d

v. When a great player is traded due to cap reasons and the player we get back is like a bad prize from the mystery box, just like in Family Guy Episode (Season 2 Episode 8 “I Am Peter Hear Me Roar”), when Peter gives up the Boat for the Mystery box.

e.g. Paul Holmgren got Mystery Box’d when he Traded Gagne for a 4th Round Pick and Matt Walker.

(Just to let everybody this came up in the thread when we traded Gagne, and we were joking that Holmgren got Walker because he got Mystery Box’d by Yzerman because he traded a great player and maybe could have gotten somebody better, but went for the box. Feel free to edit this definition and examples before we submit it).

Apparently, I ask and shall receive!

(hulm- gren -om-icks) n. A branch of capology that operates without the concept of marginal utility. Strategies include
  a] hoarding players, blueliners and goalies in particular.
  b] granting too many NTCs
  c] giving big contracts to players whose skillsets are morbidly obese with IOHs (Intangibles of Hockey)
      This is not mutally exclusive to Holmgrenomics. It can also apply to other GMs who practice Jodism, a hockey belief
       system known to overvalue pop psychology esp. in regards to statistical analysis and sports science/psychology.
       Typically the Jodist GM believes the concept of assured mutal destruction behind the enforcer philosophy works,
       despite statistical evidence to the contrary and that from a purely physics standpoint, a clean, well delivered check
       can do substantally more damage to an opponent that trying to box brawl on a near frictionless
       surface in ice skates. Often, other rationales for this money suck of a player include hard to quantify intangibles
       like clubhouse presence, and heart which have some relevance though are not substitutes for real hockey skills.
   d] continually trading draft picks (first rounders usually) and prospects. This is also known as Farm Raping or Carthaginian
       Peacekeeping. Also considered the origin of the phase “Robbing Paul to pay Paul” which is illustrated below.
  

TUMS to days off ratio – it is the Number of TUMS your going to need to get you thru the long days off till the next game after apparently the FLYERS inability to Win games, regardless of the talent level of their opponents, prior to any time when there is more than 2 days off between games.

When you do not have enough Tums in the cabinet it results in the following response demonstration of Majority of FLYERS fans who realize that they have to go on an extended break with heartburn from a pathetic loss..
