Busy. But had to stop in after a win. How are the chickens?

Good, we got 4 new babies last spring, they are pullets now.

Nicki got carried off by an eagle which was sad.

Yes, as always.

Yes, it was so annoying when called and so much fun in the execution. I tweeted the Flyers that this was proof the crowd doesn't need assistance knowing when and how to cheer. It was fabulous!

My friend had a Python DVD, some odd compilation or best the name of which I can't remember. On the back, they listed under every description, blurb, special features bullet list, and anywhere else they could that the Parrot Sketch was absolutely not on that DVD. What a strange bunch.

My dad bought us "Matching Tie and Handerchief." It was a funky album, if you moved the needle one groove over, there was a third side.

Everything you have said is true. But b/c of the tall Italian idiot that Morganti/Jones work with, I think the show is complete trash. Haven't listened to WIP morning show for years.

Getting Morganti and Jones to talk hockey outside the show is a different story.

Didinger actually is really, really good at both his analyst role and his job on the radio.

WIP was certainly much better with a full dose of Eskin, who brings a broad base of sports knowledge to whatever venue he participates. (EDIT - THIS SENTENCE INCLUDES SARCASM).

I would actually love Eskin to come back and have a one on one contest with Dino Costa - see who can be the bigger and more fake radio Richard.

I wish everyone in the building would simultaneously tweet--TURN DOWN THE MUSIC! (It's even louder this year, and I didn't think that was possible.) Also, the breakins from Xfinity have this new Sigourney person with a really shrill voice yelling into a mic with the volume turned up way too loud. It may result in murderous rages among the susceptible.

When I first heard Jonesy was for the shootout in the playoffs, I thought it was bunk. Then, I remembered how he said he was sucking wind in the 2000 Game 4 against the Penguins and figured that experience probably made him pro-shootout so other out-of-shape players could be spared the turmoil he endured.

Howard, you were fired for a reason. You sucked eggs. Even there, there is a limit to how much asshattery will be tolerated.

I have not gone to a game yet, but have heard the same about the music. It's one more frustrating thing about the "experience" that has soured me on getting season tickets for my son and me to go along with my wife's and her mom's tickets. Instead of buying four season tickets a year, we're on the cusp of going with zero starting next season.

Eskin's shtick got old. Now he works for Fox 29 and he has not changed.

BTW - Knuble is a great person, but dear God he f'ing sucks.

Our injury issues are a severe issue right now. Could be looking at 6-8 seed now if things break well.

All this blame for Bryz and what goals he should have had or shouldn't have had. Point blank range and not point blank range.


The goal he gave up last night WAS his fault. I blame for simply for not reading Gaborik's mind that he was going to pass it over to Pyatt so he could have stopped it.

Friggin non mind reading goalie we got. Gomez and Redden him NOW.

Speaking of lottery. Play the 50/50 when you come in the building (they've instituted it this year) because the lines are crazy later in the game. They've given away about $25 k (with equal amt going to Flyers Charities) each of the first two home games to one lucky winner.

Well, we've seen that the Flyers and the NHL in general aren't worried about selling season tickets. I'll tell you what, though: the fans that will replace those turned off by the overload of nonsense? See how readily they shell out the money should the Flyers have a couple rough seasons in a row.

With you there. Which reminds me, where was he for the third and fifth goals scored by the Pens and Sabres, respectively? smh buy him out.
