Five Reasons I Love the Flyers: Crane Kicker
My name is Nick. I operate Crane Kick Chronicles, which is a blog about crane kicks. It’s absurd and makes no money and no one reads it and I love it.

What should the Flyers do with Bobrovsky?
Michael Leighton is injured and Sergei Bobrovsky as been our best goalie in the preseason. Bobrovsky has opened some eyes and shown that he should be able to play in the NHL. Is he ready, though? On one hand, he is not familiar with the all of the NHL rules, is still adjusting to playing in a smaller rink, and cannot communicate with his teammates.

Five Reasons I Love the Flyers: Teemu H
Teemu H writes for the Flyers blog, Broad Street Hockey. You may know him as Euroflyers on Twitter. He lives in Finland and is a diehard Flyers fan. He has offered up his five reasons why he loves the Flyers. 1. Style The world is full of boring teams. Either teams that trust in air-tight defense, goaltending, both, or clogging the neutral zone. Teams that don’t possess enough skill to play an offensively oriented game, or teams that have a coach who doesn’t give his players the permission to use those skills.
