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...

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.
