Kate Smith Sings God Bless America before 1976 Stanley Cup

July 29, 2007


Well the 1974 Kate Smith has disappeared from youtube, here is a 76 vid.

How can I have a Flyers website and not include Kate Smith.
The Flyers had 69 wins, 19 losses, and 3 ties when Kate Smith preformed at the spectrum.

Man, I get chills every time I watch that.

Which team do you hate the most?

July 22, 2007

From Danny Briere's press conference on July 12.

Q: Having had success with Chris Drury, how will it be playing against him eight times each season?

Briere: We already talked about that, that we won’t be able to talk to each other much during the season. But you know I am excited about the rivalry. This is what is fun about playing hockey, when you have the chance to be in a heated rivalry like we have here with the Rangers. I can’t wait to be part of it and to start hating the Rangers just like everybody else (laughs).

A heated rivalry with the Rangers?
So Briere can't wait to be a Ranger hater. The Rangers are not the first team that come to my mind in regards to hating or being a rivalry. If Drury would have gone to say the Capitals would Briere be a Capital hater?
Which team do you hate and why?

Flyers need an enforcer

July 17, 2007

So says former Flyer Todd Fedoruk.

"Eags did a good job last year. He saw a lot of heavyweights and I think he's very capable of fighting the heavyweights in this league."

"But I think at his age he does need a veteran heavyweight or maybe a young up-and-comer."

I don't agree with the Fridge that the Flyers need basically another enforcer.
And his quotes really contradict each other. First he says Eager is capable, then he says he needs help.
I can see a veteran heavyweight, but a young up-and-comer? Eager is only 23 and really only played one full season with the Flyers, playing 88 games over the past 2 season.

Lets look at the other players on the team. I don't know much about a few of the recent pickups Lupul, Hartnell, Smith but the Flyers have a few guys that can throw down. In the past Richards has taken it upon himself to go at it. I think its quite possible that he develops into a defensive type of player that takes care of business. And what about Hatcher? He plays real good defense as along as he doesn't have to move. I would rather have him have these extra duties then tying up more cap money trying to sign a #1 heavy weight. Isn't he big enough?

Todd Fedoruk

Fedoruk signed with the Dallas Stars, so he wont be back next season. I figured as much since Eager has shown he can fill that role along with having a little bit more offensive side. I hope Fedoruk does well, but he took a pounding this year being dropped hard twice. Not sure how many years the Fridge has left, he didnt look too well finishing last season.

Some of the Fridge's better fights.

Joni Pitkanen

July 11, 2007

I was somewhat surprised to see Pitkanen the Shitkanen traded. I figured the Flyers would give him another year to develop. He was not the only reason the Flyers sucked ass last year.

Maybe this vid is more then Fedoruk being, well Fedoruk. Maybe Pitkanen's attitude was just not good for the team.

Or maybe it was because of this.

I can see Ed Snider getting all red in the face demanding all booger eaters be traded.

Will the Flyers make the playoffs this season?

July 11, 2007

First poll on FFC.
Will the Flyers make the playoffs this season?

I am leaning towards 'They will make the playoffs, but no cup.'

That is the safe bet giving the Flyers track record the past decade or so.
A lot of new faces I definitely think they are improve this season at least on paper.

Added another great hockey blog to the Hockey Blogs list.
Bleu, Blanc et Rouge

I found this interesting post on Bleu, Blanc et Rouge about Joffery Lupul who the Flyers picked up in the somewhat suprising trade involving Joni Pitkanen.
I hope he doesn't get the flu much during the season in Philly.
