Summer Project

So, it’s the offseason. Which means, even with the rampant trade rumors and draft possibilities, there’s not as much to write about during off season. Especially for me as I’m not local. So, I’ve decided since, as a teacher, my summers are slightly less chaotic, to take up a hobby. And you, dear reader, are invited to join me on this adventure.

“Broad Street Boogie Nights”

Some odd, unexpected — and frankly, cool — news came out yesterday when it was revealed that industrial rocker and horror filmmaker Rob Zombie (yes, that Rob Zombie) is going to be making a movie about the 1970s Philadelphia Flyers. Regardless of whether or not the project is greenlighted and ends up being made, most hockey fans around these parts can agree that there are few teams that are more compelling to make a movie about than the Broad Street Bullies.
