Eagles hang on for a victory in opening game
Everybody catch their breath yet? That was one of the most fun football games I can remember.

It’s all over
by Alex Young Another promising Flyers’ season was snuffed last night at the hands of the New Jersey Devils. After getting a 1-0 lead in the first period, the Flyers once again let it slip away, and with it any chance they still had at winning their first Stanley Cup in 37 years. I could … Continue reading
He’s Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack
