The only thing thats kept it interesting aside from this site has been the news from the ahl and echl affiliates. The Royals had a STH Barbq at Stokesay Castle yesterday with giveaways and team news. New owner was there in his Royals jersey and socializing, one or two players.

Some minor level player stuff I heard, but nothing of real interest to Flyers only fans

Bummer that a lot of Royals fans are Pens fans , there ought to be a dividing line like the Mason Dixon line

I wonder if that will change now that the Royals are a Flyers affiliate. I used to follow the Trenton Titans a little bit until they became affiliated with the Devils and became the Trenton Devils.

My 5 fave Finnish players of all time
1. Kimmo Timonen
Timonen is all heart and guts. While my guess is that his career is over, if anyone can come back from this at age 40, my money is on Kimmo!

2. Sami Kapanen
Kapanen played the game like he was 6'3 220. Who can ever forget the hit he took in the playoffs against Toronto or how well he did on D in 2004. One of the hardest working players I ever saw.

3. Teemu Selanne
Jeez but wouldn't he have looked good in orange and black?!?! One of the classiest players to ever lace em up, Selanne was a goal scoring machine.

4. Ilka Sinisalo
Probably would have had a 40 goal season or 2 if he ever could have stayed healthy. Sinisalo just quietly showed up every night and did his job well.

5. Jere Lehtinen
Another awesome 2-way player that I would have loved to see in Philly. Lehtinen seemed to be in the Selke conversation every season.

Every year they sign players and spend a bunch of money. But some claim they can't figure out the cap!

Why is there even a need to figure it?

Not really, I couldn't stand those mid 80s Oilers teams. Just can't get over 85 and 87!

87 was tough. They could have won that series against a Hall of Fame stacked Oilers roster. Flyers were depleted. No Kerr really hurt.

Carlton Fisk says of the 75 World Series, 'We won that series 3 games to 4." Kinda feel the same way about the 87' SCF.

The 85 series wasn't very competitive.

Flyers would have won the 87 series IMO if Kerr was healthy

I don't care what they do as long as Gmann and Fatso never get put on the ice together ever again.

everything that's going on at the minor level is encouraging - from the phantoms moving back to the affiliation with the royals as well as the players they're accumulating.
