I'm a football fan first, baseball fan second, basketball third, but I'm still a sports fan from Philly. That, by default, makes me a fan of the orange and black. I'm by no means a hockey aficionado but I know a big signing when I see one and the Flyers going after and getting Peter Forsberg is a big move:
"Peter Forsberg is one of the best players in the game,"
general manager Bob Clarke said in a statement. "We signed him
knowing that he puts us over the cap and we will have to trade some
guys now."
.....The move comes a day after the Flyers bulked up their defense by
signing hulking blue liners Derian Hatcher, Mike Rathje and Chris Therien to free-agent contracts.
There is a lot to look forward to for you big time Flyers fans. I'll admit, I do miss a good Flyers game on the television.
