This kind of pisses me off.   A player going to an arch rival in any sport is painful for a fan. But in hockey, it's a bit different. If Jimmy Rollins or Donovan McNabb ever went to another team in their respective divisions it would be a bitch to play against them, but that's about it. In hockey there's a real culture of hatred and threat of physical violence when two teams meet up that is only heightened when the two teams have a history. The thought that Arron Asham could be fighting Scott Hartnell next year doesn't bother me, the fact that he'll be doing it as a Penguin does

I've been listening to this really incredible but sad song by Iron & Wine for the past few weeks that I just found out was on the soundtrack to the movie In Good Company. Yep, Topher Grace and Dennis Quaid.   Anyway, the song makes me all sentimental and happy and sad and repeats a number of times during its 9+ minutes (!) 'Please, remember me...'   This morning I just felt like writing a post - the season must be coming on. And I was wondering what I think of first thing when I try to remember last season.

As Ryan pointed out a few weeks back , some NHL names are better than others. Sure, we want these guys to score goals and all that other gravy stuff... but there's something about a good name being called out during a game that just turns me into gravy inside. I want some turkey and potatoes. We're pretty much set with the Flyers roster this year but, as injuries and complete brain-dump of talent often occurs, there are sure to be more than a few call-ups from the farm ranks. So here's my oh-so-illustrious list of groovy, gravy-named players I want to see get called up this coming year (not based upon skill or any other tangible factor): Marc-Andre Bourdon: Sounds like a nice wine. Plays like one too

The final instalment of our summer reruns focuses on the Q, a league with which the Flyers have had a lot of success over the past 10 (sniff, sniff) years. In fact, their two top draft picks, Michael Chaput of the Lewiston MAINEiacs and Tye McGinn of Claude Giroux's Gatineau Olympiques, are both from the Quebec League. You may be surprised to learn that the Flyers only professional addition to the team from this league is a tough guy from Manitoba named  Jody Shelley . Shelley racked up the PIMS, including a Schultzian 420 his final season, and the points for the Halifax Mooseheads during the mid '90's. ________ Running backs come from the Big Ten, point guards come from the ACC, and left fielders come from The University of Miami. But as to where the NHL's superstars come from little is known except for "Canada." Well that's right
