Eventful night at The Well last night (I’m really going to have a hard time calling it that, but does anyone have anything better?). Simon Gagne made his triumphant mid-October, rainy Thursday night return to a standing ovation. While he still hasn’t scored with the Lightning and it’s very weird to see him in those hideous unis, we wish him the best, dude had a great career here. Video of the ceremony after the bump.
Meanwhile, the Flyers have only scored one power-play goal through four games. That’s not good. Prongs tells us the problem. [Philly Sports Daily]
“Probably trying to get too cute. We need to simplify it and just get pucks to the net and get traffic,” Pronger said. “Maybe you struggle to score goals on the power play, but there’s easy ways to try to get out of it. The best way is to get some traffic in front and get pucks to the net.”
The old hockey adage- shoot the puck. I’m shocked. For real though, he’s right. If I had to watch Danny Briere and Claude Giroux do one more pirouette on the side boards last night, I was going to lose it.
-Broad Street Hockey gives an excellent breakdown of how much each Flyer makes per second on ice. Danny Briere makes $80 a moment. Scary.
-Nikolai Zherdev, who signed with the Flyers this off-season after playing a year in the KHL, scored his first goal last night, but he didn’t talk about it. He has only spoken to the media once this season (after the Pittsburgh game) and that is a point of contention with the team, especially since he was previously known to be a bit of a flake. Even though he doesn't do well with the English language, he is making no effort to make himself available. I’ve heard rumblings that he had to be spoken to by the PR staff and Lavs, and still hasn’t given in. Apparently, his agent, Jay Grossman, was in town to talk to him- not good.

Call it ‘The Farg’
Goddamnit! Who gives a flying-fish-fuck whether or not anyone on that team makes a peep as loud as a mouse fart or not? They’re supposed to be playing hockey, scoring goals, and winning (sometimes), not flapping their mouths off! The whole world has finally gone crazy, Kyle, and the next person who gives me any kind of look I’m going to punch them in their stupid horse face.
Thank-you, God-bless,

$80 a second?? shit, I make half a penny.
Call it ‘The Wagon’
Activity is the only road to knowledge .My father often tells me that knowledge is power.
If a series is in, risk are high that a majority of women either are blessed with it or want to buy it.
Pick out frames based close to the shape of your face.
There are many red-colored handbags around, too as those through
blue and white. Tinge of color choices for sunglass frames
are actually not so stringent.
