Flyers are my favorite team and my second favorite is whoever is playing the Penguins.

To the Philadelphia Flyers, Nolan Patrick. We welcome you!!

That was a rhetorical question... rhe·tor·i·cal ques·tion noun a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer.

What is an antonym of flashy or good looking?

The draft hats have also leaked.

The Jersey reveal was supposed to happen in Vegas tonight at 8pm eastern time (an hour ago). Not sure when the NHL will release pictures.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl-salary-cap-75m-for-2017-18-season-1.781074 NHL salary cap $75M for 2017-18 season John Tavares , Mike Stobe/National Hockey League/Getty Images NEW YORK — The NHL salary cap has been set at $75 million for this season in a slight increase over last year. The league and NHL Players' Association announced the cap and the salary floor of $55.4 million in a joint statement Sunday. The figures are set by the league's hockey-related revenue. It's an increase of $2 million from the $73 million cap last season, as players elected to use their escalator clause to raise it. Even a slight increase can help several teams that are up against the cap, like the Chicago Blackhawks and Presidents' Trophy winning Washington Capitals. For budget teams, the floor increased just $1.4 million from $54 million. The expansion Vegas Golden Knights must spend at least to the salary floor in their first season.

Pics or it didn't happen!!

Yes, this is the one I like to use.

Steve Mason as the NHL's First Star of the week! We welcome you! Please don't be a stranger!!

This trade and the trade for Andrew Shaw make the Habs a more physical team to play against.

Thats pretty. Did you paint that yourself?

Fixed!

Nice write up, Scott! A couple months ago I was trying to find out some info on the 1960 team. I found a DVD on Amazon titled "The Forgotten Miracle". I had to buy it but I have yet to watch it. I'll save it for the off season. I'll let you know what I think of it one viewed.

How to consistently win the shoot out - The Philadelphia Flyers

Flyers Draft Pick status in future drafts. A little difficult to follow some of the explanations. http://www.prosportstransactions.com/hockey/DraftTrades/Future/Flyers.htm

Also, no info on players in the minors. Shows MDZ as a UFA at the end of the season rather than a RFA. This one scared me a little. The first time I looked at the Flyers roster, there were two Zac Rinaldos!! Even one is one too many!!

@Jam1986, Are you able to post any pics? I'd like to see the lamp. Thanks.

@jammer2, My Dad's jersey. If you look at the two large pictures to either side, you can see #38.

Does this qualify?

J0e, Found it. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Bill-Meltzer/Meltzers-Musings-Running-the-Treadmill-VandeVelde-McGinn-Quick-Hits/45/56402 If so, it is not just the Flyers who hold that view. Before the Oct. 24 game against the Rangers, I offhandedly asked a pro scout from another NHL team if he thought McGinn was going to stick around and become an NHL regular. The player had recently scored three goals over a two-game stretch and was one of the few Flyers winning board battles and driving to the net. The answer I got caught me off-guard. The scout was not too enamored of the player, despite the doses of success he's had when given the chance to dress for the Flyers. "It's possible, sure," he said. "But he's one of those players who may not have a full-time role at this level." I asked why not. The scout said, "He is good on the walls but he's not someone you want out there against other teams' best lines. He's got OK size and he's a game kid, but he's not really going to be a regular scorer up here. He's still a below-average skater. He'll battle for you, though, and he goes to the net. He fights a little bit, but that's not going to be his role. There are players like him in most organizations. Some of those guys find ways to stay up here but more of them don't. So that's what he's up against." The scout knew what he's talking about, because McGinn was returned to the AHL by the Flyers the very next day. Scott Hartnell had returned after an early-season injury. The club also wanted to take an extended look at Michael Raffl at the NHL level. The organization liked his skating and two-way upside (apparently more than they like what McGinn brings).
