Brian Boucher, Philadelphia Flyer.

Again.

No, really. Homer actually traded for Boosh. For real.

Boucher probably plays in Glens Falls.

The trade also is intriguing. The Flyers trade an undrafted, apparently malcontent defenseman for Boucher and a 2nd round defensive prospect.

the phantoms have the potential to be an all time bad team

they were horrendous before the lockout ended and now they lose schenn cooter rinaldo et cetera with no one to replace them

Geo I wax just reading up on Alt and I'm confused why they would throw him in. He has limited offense but he's raw, young, has size, and great tools.

Boucher's response to being a Flyer for the fourth time: "It's a bit embarrassing, to be honest with ya"

Holmgren says he'll be with the Phantoms the rest of the season and it was mostly a family/comfort thing

I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that after the NHL squatted and took a shtein on the fans for 119 days that so many people went to Flyers practice yesterday that the Fire Marshall had to shut down access.

The Avalanche had record turnouts too

Sunny... I agree with the general point you were making, but people are desperate for anything now, especially in Philly where the Eagles and Phillies haven't played since October, the Sixers are awful and there isn't really any noteworthy college teams playing.

Personally I'm excited they're going to be playing this weekend. Got tickets for them in Tampa on 3/18 over the weekend too. Phils ST in Orlando against the Braves then Flyers in Tampa the same day = win.

Hartnell took Sheena Parveen out for drinks

I'll be taking the kids (son at least) to the game in Miami. Promised him that at the end of last season if the Flyers came down when we could go.
