Flyers (D) Meszaros Tears Achilles Tendon, Out Indefinitely

Joe Bogle — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 14:34:00 GMT

Whatever happens, you can be sure GMs are now waiting for Homer to make a call to them looking to find out who's available and you can be sure those same GMs know Homers hands are now tied.

The Bossest Boss Behind the Bench; O&BP's Top 5 Coaches in Flyers History

Joe Bogle — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 18:00:00 GMT

With Laviolette's upcoming extension, I thought I'd give everyone my list of Top 5 Coaches in Flyers history. I guess I was given the assignment because I'm the most wisest of the group, or most knowledgeable? No, it's because I'm the oldest.

Fork It Over, Bettman. The Cup Deserves Better

Joe Bogle — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:43:42 GMT

Well, the Stanley Cup is the best Trophy in sports and it should be respected that way. After a squad drops all the blood, sweat and tears to win those 16 grueling games and the Commissioner comes out to present Stanley's Mug, you hear booing, it kinda takes the luster out of the event.

Oh Shanny, Oh Shanny, Pass Me Your Brandy

Joe Bogle — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:53:40 GMT

Well, I thought Asham would get 6-games, and Neal would get two separate $2,500 fines. The explanation from Herr Shanahan in his suspension video is what has my blood boiling.

Eazy, Bryzy, NHL's Cover Boy | Ilya Named First Star of the Week.....Again!

Joe Bogle — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:51:00 GMT

Now he's either staying away from the soul-stealing cameras, or he's pitching his clichés to the beat writers. Those vultures hate it, which means I love it. Bryzgalov's stopping the rubber, and as a Flyers fan....I couldn't be happier.

Give That Man a Cigar, Bryzgalov is Named NHL's 1st Star of the Week

Joe Bogle — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:43:12 GMT

So which is it? Jeff Reese, the defense or our younger guns on the backcheck? My guess is that it's all three working together like the gears from a clock.

The Mark of a Legend | THE #2

Joe Bogle — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 14:38:00 GMT

I can't tell you how excited I am to see the #2 in the rafters alongside Ashbee, Clarkie, Parent and Barber. I really didn't see these guys in their prime but I did see Mark and he was the type of player that left an indelible impression on me that hasn't faded after all these years.

Bogle Sounds the Bugle On Our West Coast Battle as The Boys Return Home

Joe Bogle — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 17:07:00 GMT

The Flyers have 20-games left on their schedule, all on East Coast time (Thank Jebus) and 12 of them on home ice. 13 of the matches are against Clubs who are currently in the Playoff picture. This is the most important stretch of the season... Obviously.

"Nabba...Nabby...Naga, not gonna have to deal with him no more"

Joe Bogle — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:21:45 GMT

Sometimes you have to tip your hat to the opposing goalie, and last night Evgeni Nabokov, perhaps showcasing his talents for a playoff team looking for a backup goalie, was back to his old self. An astounding 45-saves, and capped off by denying our two attempts in the dreaded shootout.

Flyers Try to Avoid Losing Three Straight, Puck Drops Against the Isles Tonight

Joe Bogle — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:22:00 GMT

Five of the next six puck drops are in our barn. The Flyers have struggled at home, so this is a very important stretch for them. And in case you weren't aware, our boys face losing a third game straight if the lamps are lit more times on the opposite side. It'd be the first time Philadelphia's lost three consecutive matches all season long.

Giroux Is In A Funk, When Is He Going To Climb Out?

Joe Bogle — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:39:00 GMT

In my opinion, Giroux is stressing, he's trying to carry this team and he's trying to do too much. He should SHOOT THE PUCK MORE. This is nothing new, the guy always looks pass first. Unless he decides to be selfish on occasion, he won't be elite in this League.

Have A Coke And A Smile, Lots To Be Positive About

Joe Bogle — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:21:00 GMT

So, before you jump off the bandwagon and maybe give up hope, just remember; When Laviolette has the Flyers headed towards the right direction again, and you want to hop back on, there won't be any room.... especially with Pronger and Lappy taking up all the damn room in the handicapped seats.

"The Then & Now"; A Flyers Fan's Road to the Winter Classic

Here is our story, told by my future wife, Sandra Robinson, and what to expect for next week's Magical Winter Classic.

A Letter from The Pack to a Pittsburgh Schmuck, With Love

Joe Bogle — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:14:00 GMT

I never claim that Flyers fans are perfect, but DO NOT try to claim that Penguin fans are somehow superior to Flyers fans. Please.....don't. Flyers fans are known worldwide as one of the most passionate, knowledgeable and toughest crowd when it comes to the sport of hockey.

I took time to write to Mr. Cook and expressed what I felt about his article.

A Win Never Felt So Terrible, Please God Not Giroux

Joe Bogle — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 15:20:00 GMT

Claude, staggered to his skates and made it to the bench while every medical trainer on the Flyers staff chatted with him. G went to the quiet room where it was determined that the team was going to keep Claude from going back out. Nobody in the Wells Fargo Center felt worse than Wayne Simmonds at that moment.

Boudreau And His New Ducks Take On the Flyers

Joe Bogle — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:53:00 GMT

The Ducks have had a tough start this season. Even though the team has some high-power super stars in Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and "Team Teemu" Selanne, they have trouble scoring. 2.21 goals per game, second worst in hockey BUT they made up for it by not keeping the puck out of their net.

"HOW COULD YOU SAY PITTSBURGH IS NOT OUR BIGGEST RIVAL!!??"

Joe Bogle — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:13:00 GMT

When I think of RIVALRY, I think of a team where there was never love lost. That team is the NY Rangers, the Bullies' dance partner at this years Winter Classic.

Desert Poodles in Philly Tonight, Bryz Faces Former Squad

Joe Bogle — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:53:00 GMT

A lot of talk about the Coyotes knowing Ilyas weaknesses and will exploit them tonight. I think it comes down to coaching, controlling his rebounds and clearing the front of his crease more than anything tonight. No more BLIND PASSES across ice as well! (Looking at you JVR)

Jinxes, Shminxes; "SHUTOUT!"

Joe Bogle — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 17:31:00 GMT

Can we stop with the "WOAH, YOU JINXED THE SHUTOUT ARRGH!!

" nonsense? I've heard it for years -- You cannot jinx or even say the word "Shutout" when the goalie (You are rooting for) is pitching "The S word". My question, why?
