Hockey Hilarity: #Podium

Friday funnies brought to you straight from hockey’s own players and media personnel. We’ll be mucking it up every week right here, examining puck ups, puns, tweets, and more! There really wasn’t anything funny about the way the collective bargaining agreement talks broke down last night. It was just the latest turn in this maddeningly ridiculously frustratingly stupidly ludicrous lockout. One thing that was kinda funny though, was that the hash tag “podium” (for the NHL press podium) trended on twitter and it even got it’s own twitter account. To relieve some of the huge migraine you’re suffering from right now, …

Homer’s Do’s and Doh’s: Round Three Results

Paul Holmgren became the interim General Manager of the Philadelphia Flyers on October 22, 2006. That interim title was removed only weeks later on November 11. Holmgren was able to take a team that finished last in the National Hockey League, and rebuild it to make a deep run all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals the very next season. Yes, some of Holmgren’s moves have been amazing, but he’s also a guy who has gotten this organization into some hot water with the salary cap and was forced to make deals that were head scratchers to say the least. If you enjoyed …

Be More Offensive?

It appears the latest round of negotiations between the National Hockey League and the NHLPA to solve the lockout might lead to some positive results, finally giving the fans a team back to root for. But if the Flyers were to take the ice in the immediate future, would the fans even be happy with what they saw? This has been a relatively disappointing offseason for the Flyers. The bread and butter of the Orange and Black last season was their offense, but it doesn’t appear on paper to have improved. Diving in deeper only causes more concern. The Flyers …

Today is the day. As a consortium of six owners and 18(?) players meet at 2 PM in Times Square, they hold the power to either advance Collective Bargaining Agreement talks or give up and move toward canceling the 2012-13 season. “We have confirmed with the Union that we will attempt to schedule a players/owners-only meeting for some time on Tuesday afternoon in New York,” NHL Deupty Commissioner Bill Daly said a Tuesday morning statement. “No further details have been confirmed at this point. The expectation is, depending on the outcome, that the Board of Governors will either delay an …

Are Fehr and Bettman unnecessary problems to CBA solution?

Today is December 3, 2012. Day 79 of Lockout, Part III. Today…we consider ourselves…the unluckiest fans…on the face…of the Earth… There has not been one single game of National Hockey League action contested since the Stanley Cup Finals concluded in Los Angeles on June 11. There have been a slew of negotiations between the NHL and the NHL Players Association with little to no progress made on a new collective bargaining agreement. Even federal mediators, poor babysitters that they are, were unable to talk some sense into these two sides and get them closer to settling this labor dispute. NHL …

Wild Flyers: Giroud and Giroux

With the NHL Lockout having festered beyond reason, many have fallen into a routine of getting their hockey fix elsewhere. Unfortunately, this routine usually means just catching a game whenever we can just to take in the sport itself, leaving a void in your schedule where your Flyers fandom used to fill in the spaces between puck drops. Without a Flyers team to talk about, can a Flyers fan exist? The answer to that question is yes. If you’re anything like me, you find yourself seeing the Flyers spirit reincarnated in all sorts of things, whether it’s related to the …
