Wish I were in LA for the Cup Final but I’m not …
Boring summer – and a LONG one – here in Philly. I think Flyer fans would gladly trade hosting the NHL Draft for something tangible – like a Cup Final.
Here’s today’s media presser with Kings GM Dean Lombardi and coach Darryl Sutter, who still hasn’t figured out how to enjoy the moment after all these decades in hockey.

There is little question that new Flyers’ GM Ron Hextall is up against it this summer in trying to retool the Flyers with limited cap dollars.

Confidence can be a tricky thing in sports.
Sometime, you have so much of it, you take it for granted.
The Flyers had a 11 third period comeback wins this season. A franchise record. And yet their last one came on March 2 at Washington.
They went another month without getting one and they could have used a few. Why? Because sometimes you become too dependent on allowing things to slip and

Craig Berube promised adjustments from the Flyers for Game 4 against the Rangers and his team delivered.
Besides making an impact on the power play with a game-winning goal, the Flyers did very good work on the PK, shutting down 4 Ranges power plays while Steve Mason was nothing short of superb with 37 saves.
