Fly-By: 1/4/09

The Flyers may be jetlagged, but the internet is always well caffeinated.
  • Richards Best Captain Ever? (philly.com) It starts off good, but then it gets ridiculous. I love Richie more than the next guy, but come on... It's about a decade too early to start thinking about putting him ahead of Clarke. Kudos to whoever at philly.com managed to not get their name on this one...
  • Corey Perry Suspended For Hit on Giroux (James Mirtle, fromtherink.com) He has to cough up $114,516.12, which is four games pay for him. The league should also suspend Crosby, while they're at it. Oh, and revoke Alex Semin's testes.
  • Flyers Officially Trying to Land Winter Classic at Penn State (Philadelphia Daily News) The Bruins hosting either the Rangers or Canadiens at Fenway seems to be the front runner for 2010 as far as I can tell, but wouldn't it be better to not do the two most iconic ballparks back to back? Spread 'em out a bit, I say. Here's hoping the Flyers' 2009 Stanley Cup win cements the Happy Valley bid.

Fly-By: 12/31/08

The last Flyers news of 2008...

Gagne out 7-10 Days (TSN) Which is infinitely better than indefinitely.

Lupul Road Trip Blog (philadelphiaflyers.com) "An update at least once a day." Which, to Joffrey, means once about every three days, apparently. You get to hear about his thoughts on the regional quality of salmon, a subject close to my heart. And he admits to eating with the enemy (a Canuck), a decidedly Gordon Bombay circa D2 move.

Phantoms leaving Philadelphia Area for Sure (DelCo Times)
Why not have them play at the Wachovia Center, too? The Staples Center fits in three winter sports teams and concerts, why can't the Wachovia Center? Even just for a year until the team can be moved to Hershey.

After the comeback from 5-1 down against Carolina, why not crash a frat party? Though it's a little more understandable since this party was actually at a bar in Center City. Not like they caravaned out to the Villanova campus or anything.
Riley Cote Still Bruised From Brashear Beatdown (The 700 Level)
I still love Brashear. He's making way too much money now in D.C., but he's still awesome. Brash's website is a mess, and totally worth your time.

Luca Sbisa's Family Arrives, Heavy Sleep Ensues (Philadelphia Inquirer)
The jokes about how the tree grew from two to four inches are just way too easy.

Briere to Travel With Flyers on Road Trip (Sportsnet.ca)
He says it's to be ready to come back from injury at any time, but we all know he just wants to go to Disneyland.
