Peter Laviolette's style is certainly different than John Stevens'. The yelling, the shirts and ties that don't come in a box at Marshalls, the obsession with Snow Patrol. Yes you read that right - Peter Laviolette is obsessed with the Irish/Scottish pop rock outfit called Snow Patrol. How do I know? In case you missed the Nashville feed last night, Laviolette was mic'd up in Music City. Among other things the Flyers head coach could be heard on the bench both yelling to no one and talking to individual players: "Give me some fucking Snow Patrol!Wooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!" "You think, you think Gary Lightbody gave up when that bitch Michael Morrsion left Snow Patrol?

With Michael Leighton sidelined indefinitely with a high ankle sprain, the Flyers announced today that they have recalled goaltender Jeremy Duchesne (DOO-shayn) on an emergency basis from their American Hockey League affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren. Duchesne will be available to play in Thursday’s Flyers-Stars game at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas and will wear uniform # 67. Duchesne, 23, has appeared in two games with Adirondack this season, posting a 1-1-0 record with a 1.02 goals-against average and .981 save percentage. His win this year came in the form of a shutout in which he stopped all 28 shots to lead the Phantoms to a 4-0 victory over the Providence Bruins on Mar. 13. This is the first time he has been recalled to the National Hockey League.

While in between jobs as the former host of The Tonight Show and the future host of whatever late night show Fox decides to put up against NBC and CBS's late night pillars, Conan O'Brien has been looking for projects to pass the time. Luckily enough through a connection (he went to Harvard and I've been there, oh, over a dozen times) we were able to land CoCo as a contributor last night. He wrapped up the game late night style, and if you missed it like we did, as the term 'late night' denotes a time later than I stay up on school nights, I've pasted in the transcript of his monologue below. So enjoy and please send all your hate mail directly to Conan. _ _ _ _ _ Thank you, thank you. Thanks… Thank you. Wow this is great. I'm here hosting this webisode of Flyers Goal Scored By, and let me tell you something, I'm truly very excited to be here.
