Dear Hockey-dom, Students arrived back at school this week. And among those students, is the Toronto Maple Leafs fan. I’ve mentioned him before because he does seem to provide a fair amount of story fodder. Two seconds in seeing him again, he says, “Flyers suck.” If I was a jerk, I would remind him of his team and the lack of playoffs lately for them. But I am his teacher and I’d like to think a very nice person, so I don’t. Same kind of thing the second day (via the chat function on Google docs. The joys of being …

In the middle of the 2002-2003 regular season, the Philadelphia Flyers shipped defenseman Bruno St. Jacques and winger Pavel Brendl to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a pair of players. Ryan Bast was one player Philly acquired in the deal, a defenseman who only played a pair of games in the NHL, both of which were with the Flyers. The other was Sami Kapanen, a veteran left winger in his eighth season in the NHL. After several seasons with the Hartford Whalers’ organization, who became the Hurricanes in his third season with the club, Kapanen became a member of his …

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! In an age where just about everything and anything is taken out of context or an innuendo is even remotely implied, word choice has become all too important. With all of the CBA talk this week, it seemed appropriately inappropriate that this feature look at a real bad misstep by our northern neighbors’ hockey news headquarters: TSN. Guess the NHL really is shooting for the moon with this year’s Bridgestone Winter Classic. …

Before I begin, I want to take this opportunity to say how excited I am to join the Flyers Faithful family. I’m looking forward to talking all things Flyers hockey, and I welcome any and all feedback in any fashion you might see fit. Simply put, my goal here is to dive deep into all the things that make this team tick on a daily basis and provide as much insight as I can. Care to join me? I would like to quickly offer this lone disclaimer: just as there is no “right” way to win a Cup, there are …

Defenseman Luke Richardson joined the Philadelphia Flyers in the summer of 1997, as he signed a five-year contract where he earned $2.5 million in the first four years and $2.6 million in his final season. After reaching the postseason just twice with the Edmonton Oilers in his six-year span with the club from 1991-97, Richardson helped the Flyers reach the playoffs each of the five seasons he was in Philly. In his initial campaign, the Flyers finished third in the Eastern Conference with 95 points, as only the New Jersey Devils and Pittsburgh Penguins finished with more. Richardson played in …
