I wonder if Hartnell knows that his falls are tracked.

Ya, he does. One of those guys took a sign to warmups and held in on the glass reading “Hartnell Down 216.” Some reported asked him about it and he laughed, thought it was pretty funny.

I’d be surprised if he didn’t. I’m fairly sure he’s commented on the falling before, making a joke of it.

That mask is crazy. The only part I don’t like are the bullets. I wonder how the organization feels about the reference to the Disney movie. They probably don’t care but I do and I’m sure CCB does. It’s pretty freaking sweet.

An ongoing joke at my work is that my shift is the Delta Ducks…I showed that to them and they started quacking. Ahhhh childhood movies.

One last reminder; today is the final day of voting so go support BSH! http://philadelphia.blogger.cbslocal.com/most-valuable-blogger/blog/671-broadstreethockeycom/

I really like that mask, too. The MD reference is amazing, and it reminded me of the scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit where Donald and Daffy are having the dueling pianos scene and Donald uses a cannon to shoot Daffy’s piano, which is by far my favorite scene in the movie.

Ah! Good reminder. We should have been doing this every day.

I did put up a fanshot over the weekend…. but I’m not sure people noticed so I wanted to do it here one last time.

Hey its Barry the Badger

Sept 24th BSH roller hockey game we need some ok’s to start rolling in. If you want to over throw that date you better bring something to the table.

OK, who is Barry the Badger?

by mtitanic on Sep 9, 2011 9:24 AM EDT up reply actions  

I think Darkside is just “badgering” us to respond.

In that Brayden Schenn photo I can’t see where the funnel is?? Fill it up again! Fill it up again! Once it hits your lips, it’s so good!

It’s not a funnel – it’s a pedal-powered bong. Drinking is discouraged by the Flyers now, didn’t you hear?

Former Flyer Jared Ross is fighting to save his alma mater’s Div. I hockey program. They need funding and a conference in which to play.

A classmate of mine died earlier this week (her memorial is today), and my school is doing a full day memorial for 9/11, and Lokomotiv. Rough day. How are the surviving Alexs?

Only if its Playstation 3

We got the 4 aces for baseball, 3CBO in football, and the Russian Walls in hockey. Philly is no longer the blue collar losers, were primetime baby!

Former Isles Prospect

Blake Kessel to be at Flyers Training Camp

He wasn’t horrible last season, and was the captain or alternate last year for UNH, but I once heard someone describe him as “Phil Kessel with none of the skills that make Phil outstanding”

Maybe because Blake’s a defenseman?

I just stumbled across this one on NHL.com, and I haven’t seen anybody else link to a similar story so I’ll post it here. It’s about McCrimmon being Pronger’s D partner in Hartford when Prongs was a rookie: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=588038
