Imagine my surprise as I boarded the train this morning and opened up my daily Metro, to find that *gasp* the Flyers writer knows nothing about the team, nor has the time to even look at an official roster. Darroll Powe is a second-year defenseman? AND a lame pun in the headline? Amazing. Throw in a quote in which Powe references his "linemates", and you have bad journalism all around.

He has 2 goals (1 GW, 1 SH), 2 assists, ~18 TOI, twice was a star of the game.

Too small a sample size to really say anything substantive, but he certainly is playing some good hockey right now, and it should be real interesting to see how he plays on Wednesday.

The Flyers continue to be rank among the NHL's most valuable teams, according to Forbes. The organization is estimated to be worth approximately $273 million, good for fifth highest in the NHL. It's interesting to note that the Original Six and the Flyers make up the top seven in the list.

Taking a look a little closer at the Flyers' individual financial situation, we see that the organization's growth has been modest over the past number of years, while revenue fluctuates quite a bit. The organization continues to be pretty inefficient, though, when it comes to generating operating income (it's not clear whether these are Comcast-Spectacor figures or Flyers-specific figures; is it just a coincidence that in 2001, when the Sixers were in the NBA Finals, Forbes reports $13 million in operating income compared to $1-4 million in first/second-round Flyers eliminations and actual losses during Flyers ECF trips?).

Oh, and Pittsburgh's at #11.

To continue the discussion on illegal hits the head . . .
Chris Drury is blindsided by Curtis Glencross but, at first glance, it really doesn't seem bad. The angle of the video is poor and doesn't really provide much evidence for how Glencross hit Drury. However, it was bad enough to sideline Drury with a concussion. This has been a topic of conversation all year and I think we should compile a list of all the hits to the head that have occurred so far this year, here at BSH, and take a close look at what the NHL needs to do to confront this issue.

I didn't see anybody else mention this, but I thought it was worth pointing out. This is the same guy who falsely accused Briere of a dirty hit... now he's the one suspended for a clearly dirty move. I found it amusing.

Here's the video, since it doesn't link from the article.

Flyers left wing Simon Gagne finally agreed to have surgery on Tuesday to repair two small hernias on his right side and will miss 6-8 weeks.

Additionally, according to general manager Paul Holmgren, Gagne will have his rectus abdominis repaired on both sides. So, it’s two surgeries.

Q: Did they earn a day off with this one?
John Stevens: No. No... we've got lots of work to do.

I like Primanti's, but I was never a huge fan. I might get abuse for this, but I like the Philly cheese steak better.

I don't know if I should admit that.
