Recap
April 1, 2012
It's been a while since there has been a post on the blog, and a lot has happened. How about a quick recap?
He was struggling for a good bit of the season, but Ilya Bryzgalov finally found the piece of his soul to play in Philadelphia..
Bryz has been keeping opponents off the scoreboard and earning NHL honors along the way. But a chip fracture in his foot is kept him out recently, and kept him from continuing his hot streak.
Everyone learned that Nik Grossman's name actually has two n's in it, and since that revelation, Grossmann and Pavel Kubina have boosted the Flyer's defensive play.
The three team race for the four seed has been cut down to only two. The Devils have fallen out of the race, while the orange and black continue to go at it with their interstate rival Pittsburgh Penguins.
Speaking of the Penguins, Sunday was a memorable one. Down 2-0 early, the Flyers scored five unanswered goals on Pittsburgh's ice.
Late in the game, Schenn knocked Sidney Crosby on his face, and Pittsburgh decided to retaliate. What ensued?
Joe Vitale looked for and delivered a hit to Danny Briere. The two teams immediately started fighting after the hit. Even Lavi got in on it, yelling at Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma for allegedly sending his checking line out to fight after the Crosby hit.
However, the Flyers pulled through in the end, winning 6-4.
We are all caught up now.
On The Board Philly is officially open. I just have one thing left to ask....

One More Update
March 28, 2012
It's been a while, and you have probably noticed that the blogs have gone through a major overhaul. There are still a few more little details I want to throw in, but for the most part, the redesign is done. On Monday, April 2nd, I will return to posting on the blogs regularly, I will also be posting regularly to the new Twitter and Facebook accounts as well (@OTBphilly on Twitter and On the Board Philly on Facebook, in case you are interested in following). I understand that it may have been frustrating to you, the reader, over the past month while I took off to do the redesign. Again, I am very sorry for any inconvience that I have caused you, and I hope that you will find the blogs to be a lot better than they were before. I have also set up a YouTube channel that is connected to the blogs as well. There are currently no videos on it yet, but a few friends and I have been working on creating a weekly sports talk show. We have been working, but were not at the point where we feel we are ready to start posting episodes just yet. Just know that we are working on it, and expect to have the show ready very soon.
I can not stress enough how sorry I am for any inconvenience or frustration I may have caused you over the past month. I am deeply sorry.
I worked hard on the new look for the blogs, and I hope that you really enjoy it.
Remember, I will return to posting daily on April 2nd.
I look forward to getting back to writing.

Update
March 5, 2012
You mave have noticed recently that some dramatic changes are being made to both That Phillies Blog and That Flyers Blog. You probably also have noticed that no news has been posted as of late, and there is an explanation for that. I've been playing around with the various tools that Blogger (along with the rest of the internet) has to offer with the intent of dramaticly improving the blogs. But as I started to learn more and more about what I could actually do, I decided to relaunch That Phillies Blog and That Flyers Blog. For starters, both blogs are now joined together by one home page, so now, you only have to type in one address to get your news fix. Next is a name change. Both blogs are under one name now; On the Board Philly (ontheboardphilly.blogspot.com). The web addresses for both the Phillies (thatphilliesblog.blogspot.com) and Flyers (thatflyersblog.blogspot.com) blogs will remain the same until further notice. With the relaunch, the blogs will also finally expand into socialmedia. A Twitter account has already been created (@OTBphilly), and a Facebook and YouTube page are on the way.
I have a lot more other features and ideas to add to the blogs, and they will remain up the entire time so you can see the progress. Right now, I have no set date for the official relaunch, but I can say that it will be in March of this year, and that I will work to make it happen as soon as possible. I kindly ask you, the reader, to please bare with me until then.
I thank you for all the support.

P.S.- I will be updating the Twitter account regularly, even though the blogs themselves are not back yet. Follow On the Board Philly on Twitter (@OTBphilly).
