By Adam Graham (@adam_graham) Your time is now. It’s a common and somewhat overused phrase we hear a lot when it comes to our lives and the opportunities in front of us. Whether it comes from a song or a motivational speaker of some sort, it rings true in almost any aspect of life, [...]

Playoff Clinching Scenarios
By: Tyler J. Altemose (@TJamesAltemose) With today being the final day of the 2011-12 regular season, I figured I would draw up a chart with each of the playoff clinching scenarios in the Eastern and Western conferences. As you will see, it’s notably more complicated in the west where virtually nothing other than an Oilers [...]
Saturday matchup between Flyers and Penguins now meaningless as seedings are set
By Charlie O’Connor (@THG_Charlie) Following the Flyers’ hard-fought, rough-and-tumble victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins last Sunday, it appeared that the two teams were on a collision course for a Saturday bloodbath of a rematch that would decide home ice for their inevitable playoff showdown. Now, the game is just another playoff tuneup. After a 2-1 Philadelphia victory [...]

Motor City: Replacing a Rival
By Rhys Richards (@RREsq) Last Tuesday, the Detroit Red Wings and their fans celebrated the 15th anniversary of the team’s brawl with the Colorado Avalanche at Joe Louis Arena with a 7-2 drubbing of the Columbus Blue Jackets at home. That famous bloodbath pitted Igor Larionov against Peter Forsberg, Brendan Shanahan against Adam Foote, and [...]

Flyers Sign Phantoms’ Ford to Two-Way Deal
By: Tyler J. Altemose (@TJamesAltemose) Renaud Lavoie, reporter for RDS.ca, announced early Wednesday morning that the Philadelphia Flyers have signed Phantoms RW Matt Ford to a two-way, $600,000 deal for the 2012-13 season. Ford has been a consistently powerful force on the right side for the Flyers’ AHL affiliate Adirondack Phantoms since he was [...]

Much On The Line In Atlantic Division Clash
By Christopher Decker (@HockeyGuy_Chris) The New York Rangers have a chance to do something they haven’t done since 1994 – take home the Atlantic Division crown and secure home-ice advantage throughout the first three rounds of the playoffs by clinching the Eastern Conference. It couldn’t be a more perfect scenario. Just two years ago, it [...]

In today’s blog, I’ll be making my prediction on each second round playoff series and provide a couple of reasons as to why I feel that team will win. [...]
Wayne’s World: Simmonds Embracing Scoring Role in the City of Brotherly Love
By Charlie O’Connor (@THG_Charlie) Play physical defense. Face top competition. And chip in with the occasional goal or assist. Those were the duties of Wayne Simmonds during his first three NHL seasons as a member of the Los Angeles Kings. The Philadelphia Flyers, on the other hand, see Simmonds as a far different player. In [...]

NHL Realignment Plan
By Bob Haynes (@BobHaynesJr) The NHL is in need of a realignment plan and quite frankly I am glad that the NHLPA nixed the owner’s plan for realignment. So why was the owner’s plan flawed? Look at the standings in the NHL right now. There are two obvious power divisions (Atlantic and Central) this season. [...]
