RICE & MICE: Golfer’s Elbow

By pavialax
Posted on 04/25/2012 at 12:00 pm

As we bid adieu to the Pittsburgh Penguins of 2011-12, I’d like to bring awareness to an injury that could affect anyone of the the Penguins players, coaches and staff during this extra long off-season: golfer’s elbow. Yes, the elbows of the likes of James Neal, Tyler Kennedy, Evgeni Malkin and Arron Asham no longer have to incur the trauma of Flyers players head-butting their sensitive mid-arm areas. However, a new enemy may lurk on the horizon. Golfer’s elbow, also called medial epicondylitis, is an overuse injury to the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to bone located on the …

Point/Counterpoint: Goaltending in the Playoffs

Posted on 04/24/2012 at 2:00 pm

Welcome to another edition of Point/Counterpoint. This week, European correspondent Filip and I deal with a common, often overplayed issue: Goaltending. Point: Goalies are important in the Playoffs (Filip) A) You can’t win without an elite goaltender. Yes, there are some exceptions like Antti Niemi (or series like the just-completed Penguins-Flyers series) but nearly every team in the recent years (has) won with a good goalie and with a tight defense. Tim Thomas, Chris Osgood, Jean-Sebastien Giguere – those are/were elite goalies who proved their star worth by being a significant factor in their teams winning the Cup. And remember …

Humbled once again

On a dreary Sunday night, when fans across the Philadelphia area may very well have preferred to stay home and celebrate the Flyers’ series-clinching victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, over 30 people drove out to Bensalem to help support the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation. Among the people who made their way out to Play2 at the Parx Casino in the torrential downpour were a number of familiar faces from the Pub Quiz fundraiser, some new friends, and hockey’s most popular anonymous blogger, Eklund. One person stood out in particular, though. Marc Siciliano, who originally came up with the idea …

Penguins Can’t Fly, Flyers Win Series With 5-1 Victory At Home

By Craig F
Posted on 04/22/2012 at 4:16 pm

In front of the faithful at the Wells Fargo Center on Sunday afternoon, the Philadelphia Flyers advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals with a 5-1 win, sending Sidney Crosby and his Pittsburgh Penguins packing. After Philly’s loss in Game 5 on Friday, Scott Hartnell said it was time for the Flyers’ defense and goaltending to get the Orange and Black a win. With Ilya Bryzgalov’s 30-save effort and 40 blocked shots from the defense, Hartnell’s words seemed to properly motivate the club. “It takes a sixty minute, full team effort. Everbody chipped in,” said Bryzgalov after the game. “It was …

By Craig F
Posted on 04/20/2012 at 10:45 pm

In the first game of the series that produced less than seven goals total, the Pens held on for a 3-2 victory in Pittsburgh tonight. After they fell into a 3-0 hole in the series, the Pens have rattled off two straight wins to force Game 6 after their first win in a game of importance against the Flyers at the CONSOL Energy Center since it opened. Marc-Andre Fleury didn’t let the Flyers even the score in the third period despite the fact Philly out shot Pittsburgh 14-8 in the final frame. With several crucial saves throughout the contest, Fleury has seemed to …

Read snubbed for Calder consideration

By Bob H
Posted on 04/20/2012 at 12:03 pm

The National Hockey League released its finalists for the Calder Trophy this morning, and Matt Read isn’t on the list. Instead, Colorado’s Gabriel Landeskog, Adam Henrique of the New Jersey Devils and #1 overall pick Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of Edmonton garnered the top three slots. Like they used to say in Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Court: Fair or unfair…UNFAIR!!! Our own Nick D laid down the case for the 25-year-old Bemidji State product last week, and while it may be true that his age was a contributing factor in being left off the ballot, there are several more factors which he still believes …
