Many hundreds of dollars later, J., myself, and one other still to be determined will be watching the Flyers' home opener on October 11 (vs. the Rangers) from the same seats we were in for last year's home opener -- two rows from the ice, and right against the glass to the Flyers' tunnel, a pane of glass that is all that kept me from putting my arm around Niittymaki while we took in the game

Off-topic: 12K

Dear Gentle Readers, I've taken on the challenge and made a commitment to participate in the 2008 AIDS Walk Philly on October 19. I am very passionate about this cause for personal reasons. My participation in the walk not only expresses that concern, it also has a positive impact on the lives of more than 30,000 people living with HIV/AIDS in the greater Philadelphia region (and countless

Stevens given 2 more years

The Flyers sign coach John Stevens to an extension keeping him under contract for the next three seasons. Flyers had also signed Ken Hitchcock to a three year contract back in 2006 only to fire him about a month later. But I don't see that happening this time, at least not this season. That's not to say Stevens won't be on the hot seat this season, he will be, at least with the fans.

Praised is heaped on Stevens for taking the last place Flyers of 2006 to the Conference Finals in 2007. While I agree that is nothing to sneeze at, we should also remember that 42 of the 48 losses the Flyers suffered in 2006 came while Stevens was behind the bench. Firing of Hitchcock didn't do any good, for that season. The horrible decisions made at the GM position put the team in a pickle for the 2006 season. Later some great moves at the GM position put the Flyers in the position to make a run for it in 2007.

It was the player's dislike of Hitchcock that most likely ended his coaching career in Philly. I suspect we won't see that happen this time around with Stevens’s style of coaching. The players like him, but there are some fans that are not convinced. That nice little 10 game losing streak last season didn't help.

For me, the jury is still out on Stevens.

Bundy on the Radio

Chris Therien will be taking over the color analyst job on 610 WIP for the Flyers broadcasts on AM radio for this upcoming season. He will be replacing another former Flyer Bryan Propp who was on AM with Tim Saunders for 7 seasons.

Its been a couple years since I had to catch the games on the AM. Because of my distance from Philly and WIP's policy of not streaming the games online I usually caught the game on NHL Radio. NHL Radio basically streams the AM radio feeds from NHL.com site. Worked great for me when I worked the night shift, I could still pick up the games.

One interesting thing about the radio streams from NHL is that they cut out the commercials during the commercial breaks. Most of the time this just led to dead airtime. However there were some things heard that one who was listen to the AM station would normally not hear. The intermission interviews are typically done right after the period ends during the commercial break. So with the Flyers NHL AM feed I would always hear the interview twice, live and then when its actually replayed during intermission. I would also hear clips from the previous period as they setup for the highlights recaps. There was that rare occasion when the mic was left open during the commercial breaks and I got to hear some interesting gems. The chatter was typically related to the game, but I do remember at least one one occasion either Propp and/or Saunders were scoping out a female fan or two. Defintely more interesting then any commercial AM would play.

Hey Bundy, leave the mic open during the breaks, let the Fans listening on NHL Radio hear some good stuff.

"I wanted to send out an invitation to everybody to knock out MS. Multiple sclerosis is a growing epidemic world-wide and millions live with this disease. I’ve seen first-hand how this disease affects people through my sister who was diagnosed 8 years ago. I have a great opportunity in the position I am in to give back and help bring awareness and ultimately to knock out this brutal disease. So let’s all drop our gloves and fight to help the MS community." - Riley Cote, Philadelphia Flyers.
