The Twelve Days of Flyers' Christmas
In line with this season of giving, the Flyers' Elves decided to get decked out in their Holiday finery, complete with alternating black and white jerseys and and blinking Christmas lights on Santa hats, and bring a little Christmas cheer to all. (Eggnog optional but highly recommended).
Here is just a sample of the things that a Flyers' fan might see (or hope to see) under the tree come Christmas morning...

To all our troops overseas...thank you and you are in our thoughts and prayers.
God bless hockey and HockeyBuzz.
Thanks for reading...
Entertaining...Your post has bling
A terrific blog part love the 12 wishes great job
Nice - I read the Ek post on Vinny and was shocked to see the Flyers as a possible. Even if a deal were worked out I don't see how the Flyers could fit him in the salary cap. I think if that one were to come true you'd be looking at better than an eight seed. I'm done with Eager and Cote - get rid of both and find a decent tough guy with brains.
Entertaining as always, and festive to boot! :)
Nice job.
Bah, Humbug....Funny stuff SYF
LOL hey Marty has 12 wins are you asking for 12 more.....
12 more...for 24 wins total ;)
You put me back in the (good) mood with a smile SYF. Thanks and nice job.
Well done. You know better but I know the Phlyers.
... That one was for Bobby Sands
Nice Gforce! Hot as a pistol but cooooooool inside. Thanks! SYF
