It’s a clip so nice, Deadspin posted it twice: The Lehigh Valley Phantoms scored three goals in twenty-one seconds (the first one coming only fifteen seconds into the game) last night, so if you were in line for a beer you really screwed up.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
Where we come from there is a mythological beast called the Mukaka. It may not be well known outside of our home town in the Appalachians but it’s very real to our community. Now the Mukaka is not your standard mythological animal like the Sasquatch or Liger. Legend says that when you’re bad, the Mukaka sneaks into your room and steals your poop. Once it has the poop, the Mukaka leaves several lumps of coal around your bed. One time, many years ago when Andy and I were young, the Mukaka actually took a dump in Andy’s bed instead of stealing his poop as he usually does. True story. Right Andy? Remember that time?
Straka has 8 goals rev… Brandon manning 3 assists last night, 6 goals 13 assist in 24 games, +5, generating better then 3 shots per game. He’s the next Gus. Free Brandon Manning!
False dude….don’t be an idiot….the Flyers are bad this year….but there is nobody on the Phantoms that should be on the Flyers’ roster this season….who you bringing up …Powe, Akeson?….yea they were beast when they were on the team before
Don’t mistake my question for an inferred statement. I just want to know what everyone thinks.
But with the highest payroll in the NHL they should be awesome, or close to it, or good, or mediocre. Mediocre isn’t too much to ask is it? Yup, it seems to be. I am now wishing they weren’t terrible.

ligers are real.
Liger’s are not mythological creatures… quite real

So I just watched 900 goals to see three.
Man that was some goalie effort on the third.
The Flyers would be better off if they dumped 70% of their team for 70% of these guys.
True or False ?
