This is what was waiting for me in the mailbox. Which is so horrible that as soon as it’s uploaded on here, I’m just going to delete the photo off my desktop because I feel so wrong to have something called malkin.jpg. ::shudders:: But then I open the magazine and this is what I see: After a really long week, Claude Giroux appears in my mailbox. Someone up there likes me. Yes, I’m still receiving The Hockey News, mostly because I keep forgetting to cancel my subscription and then my credit card gets charged again and I hate to …

Game coverage This may come across as a shameless plug, but as a professional, it’s a badge of honor to be able to have that credential from the Philadelphia Flyers hanging off my neck (and later hanging off the paw of the stuffed grizzly bear I have mounted above my television) and the chance to cover the National Hockey League in my hometown. …

With the magic of my Kindle Fire, I have gotten my next book to review. Due to my lack of hockey history, I’ve decided that it’s time to educate myself. Should I start with general hockey history or narrow it down? Enter 100 Things Flyers Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die by Adam Kimelman. Yes! Right? I have to defend myself constantly as a Flyers fan up here in Northern Illinois, I ought to know my stuff. The book came out in 2010, so that might mean it’s dated, but we’ll see if that hinders it at all. …

Point: Tweak the roster By Steve J The Flyers miss the hell out of Chris Pronger. You know it, I know it, Trent Klatt knows it. The trade rumors that have circulated for the past couple of months have revolved around the defense. Ryan Suter, Shea Weber, Tim Gleason, and Luke Schenn’s names have been floated as potential candidates. The cost for most of these guys would be at least one young forward, which happens to be the Flyers’ greatest asset. Well, in the words of the immortal sage Admiral Ackbar, it’s a trap! It is absolutely not worth it …
