No matter what sport and team you look at, there’s always that one glue guy. This player is on a team forever and does nearly everything that’s asked by their coach, but flies under the radar. During my typical nightly perusing of Twitter the other day, I noticed some fans bashing one of the biggest […]
Read more "A Quick Michael Raffl Appreciation Piece"During the last home game of each season, the Philadelphia Flyers hand out a list of team awards.

Read more "Can the current Flyers’ roster live up to Vegas’ expectations?"In a very up and down game five, we saw the highs and lows of the Flyers.
