Second Goalie Controversy of the Preseason

Good news everyone, the Flyers are already in mid-season form. Last year it took us a few months for goalies to start getting hurt. We got it down to such an exact science, that we managed to do it twice in the playoffs, and we still almost won the Stanley Cup. This brilliant maneuver confused opposing teams consistently. So now we know that Michael Leighton is out for a least a month with a bulging disc in his back. The question arises: Who will start in net for the Flyers now? "I'm the starter!" Not so fast, Boosh.

Special Hockey Love
John Panarese is a blind Islander and hockey fan who has followed the game for over 30 years. From the days of having been slipped dollar bills to change the television station to channel 11 by his uncle to turn on the Islander game, he has been a bleed blue and orange Isles fan suffering through all the rebuilding and stretches and rejoicing with every success of the team. Besides having followed the team via the radio broadcasts through the “glory years†with Barry Landers and Jean Potvin calling the games, he was part owner of season tickets over a dozen year span and has been a member of the New York Islanders Booster Club for four years. John, who lives in Hauppauge in Suffolk County, has lived on the island his entire life. He runs a home business reselling adaptive hardware and software for blind and low vision computer users, as well as being an authorized Apple Affiliate business.

I never saw that blockbuster movie "The Butterfly Effect". I'm sure that Mr. Demi Moore was pretty awesome in it. So awesome, in fact, that they made another one... I think.

That spit? In that screen grab? That's the spit of a farmer who's just finished a 4AM to 6PM work day. That's how a guy spits after he chops down a red wood. That's the spit of a man who just bloodied up a 22 year old Finn.
