F...L...Y...E...R...S....

In honor of the owner of this blog, just thought we'd pass on the lastest Philly Flyers roster moves. Lots of talented players like Tony Amonte and Johnny Leclair are on their way out (and rumor has it Jeremy Roenick isn't far behind them) but the Flyers have added former MVP Peter Forsberg and defensemen Derien Hatcher and Chris Therien, among others.

Now, as fans of another Atlantic Division team, it pains us to say this, but things are looking good for the Flyers. These moves will help keep them from falling into the same rut of our aforementioned team of buying old marquis players and paying them lots of money to do nothing. Of course, it looks like the Boston Bruins have already started following that mantra.

Given the recent rules changes in the NHL this year, and with the new salary cap restrictions, it should be an exciting season, if anyone really bothers to pay attention. Perhaps the two saps that write for this blog can even get together for a game or two. Of course, we'd need a blog-sitter at that point...
