The fabric is one that's being adopted league wide.  Another of Gary Bettman's brilliant schemes to widen the popularity of the NHL.

When he's done, the NHL will be about as popular as Professional Ultimate Frisbee.

All 30 teams are being redesigned for the less bulky, new material, logo-on-the-neck-to-rip-off-the-NFL look.  No alternates this year, either...

SPECTOR'S MAILBAG.

Here's some more speculation on Peter Forsberg signing with the Philadelphia Flyers:

Wip's Anthony Guardano great spelling spector just reported the Forsberg had dinner with Flyers President, Peter Lukko. His girlfriend is from Philly, so he has every reason to be here that had NOTHING to do with hockey, but the golf and the dinner is starting to look a little suspect. Anyway, WIP is now sure Forsberg will be a Flyer, though where the Flyers get the cap money to sign him even for half a season is beyond me.

holmgren played golf with forsberg last week and is coming on wip at 4 to talk about whats going on if anyone wants to listen

Saw a commercial on Comcast for "Meet the Flyers 2007-08".  They're going to film it on Sunday 9/16 1PM at the Skate Zone...

Briere explaining why he took less money to play in Philly

"People might think I'm crazy but I like the direction the Flyers are headed," Briere said. "They made great moves at the trade deadline, signed (Kimmo Timonen and Scott Hartnell) in the summer, and already had a good young core with guys like Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. When you sign a contract like mine, you look at the long-term prospects, not just those for one year."

"I'm excited to play with Mike Knuble and Simon Gagne. Marty Biron and I were roommates in Buffalo. And I played junior with Denis Gauthier. Our first goal is to make the playoffs. And I truly believe it can happen."

People thought Reggie White was crazy to sign in Green Bay too!!!1111111111!!
