It's been a while, and a lot of hockey has been missed. But the blog is back at full strength now.
Time for a quick recap.
The Flyers have since been in the middle of all sorts of defensive trade rumors. Be it Shea Weber, Ryan Suter, or the recently rumored Luke Schenn.
But Kimmo Timmonen and the rest of the Flyer's D have held their own without the captain. Rookies Marc-Andre Bourdon and Kevin Marshall have also helped out a lot on the blue line after being called up from the Phantoms.
JVR has been rumored to be traded to bring in Brayden's brother, but that idea is no more, as Van Riemsdyk is now out with a concussion.
The day after New Year's, the Phillies let the NHL turn their home into a Winter (Classic) wonderland, as the Flyers battled their rival in the Rangers in this year's outdoor game.
The universe may be so humangous big, but the net certainly isn't.
Someone should tell that to Ilya Bryzgalov, because he is posting career worse numbers right now.
Luckily, Sergei Bobrovsky is a brick wall in the net right now.
Danny Briere put da team on his back, scoring a hat-trick that resulted in all three of the Flyer's goals in a win over the Sens back on January 7. Oh yeah, and Danny got in a fight too.
Claude Giroux has been in a slump lately. Fortunately, rookies Sean Couturier, Matt Read, Harry Zolnierczyk, and Brayden Schenn are starting to pick up. Coots (Couturier) especially, now that he has scored in each of the last four games.
Giroux, Timmonen, Couturier, and Read are heading to Ottawa for the All-Star game, but Scott Hartnell got snubbed in the midst of a great season.
Now, we await to see if Scottie will find his way on the All-Star roster, should another player choose to drop-out.
Now that we're all caught up, That Flyers Blog is officially back.
