will we ever win?

Hockey Fans, Get your fix now!

This is the time of the year when my hockey withdrawl leaves me shaking like a Chihuahua in a blizzard. Only this year there is little relief in sight. As the NHL and the NHLPA continue their lack of negotiations the only thing that seems certain is we (the fans) are gonna get the shaft. If we're lucky and we pray to the Hockey Gods then maybe will see a season that starts in January but I think the odds of the season starting on time are pretty slim.

For the next two weeks, we can try to get our fix from the World Cup of Hockey. The Flyers will be well represented in the World Cup with at least one player on nearly ever team. Odds are that our goalie, Robert Esche, will be in net for team USA.

Despite the lack of a CBA, the Flyers have been busy this off-season. Biggest move, good-bye Mark Recchi! However Gagne, Radivojevic, and Niittymaki all accepted offers. Handzus got a nice three year deal. Timander only got a two year deal and so did Kapanen. We also picked up a few new guys like Eric Meloche, Ryan Ready, Turner Stevenson and Mike Knuble. And as of right now Zhamnov and Malakov still don't have contracts.
