  • BSH Radio 11: Joe Fortunato of Blueshirt Banter talks Rangers vs Flyers

    08/04/2010

    Before we taped this week's edition of BSH Radio on Tuesday night, we had no idea how things would turn out over the last two nights. We didn't know the Flyers would beat the Leafs, we didn't know the Rangers would fall to the Sabres, and we didn't know the Rangers would rebound and crush those same Leafs a night later. What it all adds up to, of course, is a two-game battle royale to finish off the season this weekend between the orange and black and the hated Blueshirts. We assumed that this would likely be the case at recording time, so we enlisted Joe Fortunato of Blueshirt Banter to come on this week's show and discuss that hated franchise from the north. Prior to our chat with Joe, however, we welcomed Justin, aka JFein, onto the program to challenge Ben Rothenberg in a trivia duel. Discover the winner by listening to the show.

  • BSH Radio 10: The goalie carousel spins on...

    31/03/2010

    On this week's show, we discuss at great length the complex state of goaltending in the Flyers organization. From Ray Emery to Michael Leighton to Brian Boucher to Johan Backlund and beyond, who will be the backup this week? Who will be the goalie next year? What about next years backup? What about next years AHL goalies? Can Brian Boucher win a round this year in the playoffs? None of these questions have clear answers, but we try to answer them on this weeks show. Beyond that, what's the deal with the multitude of goaltending prospects that call the Flyers organization home? From Joacim Eriksson to Nic Riopel to Michael Teslak, where will they all be next season and beyond? It's all goaltending all the time this week on BSH Radio.

  • BSH Radio 9: Discussing Carter's injury, Flyers' future

    26/03/2010

    Short show this week, and it's a few days late, too. Sorry about that. We taped on Tuesday night and I was supposed to have this up Wednesday morning, but those are the breaks. So what that it's Friday? Anyway, as mentioned, it was a shorter show this week. Ben, Geoff and I talked for about 20 minutes regarding Jeff Carter's injury and how it hinders the Flyers chances going forward. We were then joined by Shaun Kreider, known as KreiderDesigns here on the site, to talk a little bit about the BSH Store that opened for business the other day. Shaun spoke about the creative process and how he came up with some of the ideas. Afterward, he challenged Ben to a rousing game of Flyers trivia... the closest match so far. See who won by listening to the show, after the jump.

  • BSH Radio 8: Tim McManus on the everything Adirondack Phantoms

    17/03/2010

    Tim McManus, Adirondack Phantoms beat writer at the Glens Falls Post-Star, joins the show this week to talk about everything Phantoms. Unfortunately, at recording, we weren't aware of Johan Backlund's injury, but that doesn't take away from the discussion we had at all.We talked about the inseparable defensive duo, Kevin Marshall and Marc-Andre Bourdon. We talked goalies, from Backlund to Jeremy Duchesne (now a Flyer?!) to Nic Riopel. We talked forwards, from Patrick Maroon to Stefan Legein. Tim gave us updates on Mika Pyorala and Danny Syvret. Syvret is injured, by the way. We also checked on on Ryan Dingle (yeah, the throw-in from the Pronger deal) to see if he ever has a shot at making the NHL. Greeted with laughter.Finally, we discuss the future of the Phantoms in Glens Falls and when we should expect to see them in the Lehigh Valley. After Tim leaves us, we play back this week's trivia competition. William, aka CoburnsCuddleBuddy, came on to challenge Mr. Ben Rothenberg. Listen to find the results.

  • BSH Radio 7: Don from Litter Box Cats talks Vokoun, Panthers, trades

    03/03/2010

    As we prepare for the trade deadline, we welcome Donny Rivette from Litter Box Cats, a man who covers possibly the most active deadline team in the league. Everybody is for sale in Florida, it seems, so the timing is right to have Donny on the show. We talked about his team, his thoughts one what they might look like after Wednesday's deadline and if they'll be a competitive hockey team come that time. David Booth will be playing tonight for the first time against the Flyers, so we talked to Donny about the impact that may have on Wednesday night's game. We also chatted about Tomas Vokoun and his likely availability at Wednesday's deadline. Oh, and a Dennis Seidenberg reference is dropped. We then move on to some more Flyers-centric stuff, specifically Ray Emery's potentially career-ending injury and what that means for the Flyers moving forward at the deadline. Roloson? Vokoun? Ellis? Biron? We also listen in on a voicemail from a caller angry about Sidney Crosby.

  • BSH Radio 6: Ben and Geoff Play Flyers Trivia, Plus Olympic Talk & A Latvian Eulogy

    26/02/2010

    On this week's edition of Broad Street Hockey Radio, it's clear that the Olympic break has gone to our heads a little bit. In an effort to spice up the proceedings since there isn't much Flyers related stuff to talk about, Travis put together a little Flyers related trivia game for Ben and Geoff to play against each other. There was a decisive winner of the contest, and if you'd like to challenge him in a future show, let us know ASAP. Listen to the show to find out who the winner was, of course. Also, trying to spice things up a little more and inspire some listener interaction, we welcomed frequent commenter Jason, aka HockeyOutsiders, on the show to talk some Flyers hockey, as well as what it's like to be a Canadian and a Flyers fan simultaneously. Oh, and since it's the Olympic season, we had to talk some curling. Ben also prepared a heartfelt eulogy for our brothers in arms, the Latvian Olympic hockey team, and he delivered it towards the beginning of this week's show. We also talked some Olympic hockey

  • BSH Radio 5: Mike Boone of the Montreal Gazette Speaks About Hitler Comments

    18/02/2010

    On this week's edition of Broad Street Hockey Radio, we speak to Mike Boone, the columnist from the Montreal Gazette who compared the Flyers to Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany. Mr. Boone gave us his justification for making the comments, which were considered outlandish by some and downright offensive by others. He also responded to a few questions and comments from BSH readers, as well as whether or not he feels he should be temporarily suspended from his position at the Gazette for the comments he made. The conversation is an interesting case study in just how differently certain members of the traditional media understand the difference between what is printed in the newspaper and what is printed on the Internet. It's safe to say that those of us who are exclusively on the web see this divide differently. Moving on, Ben joins the show and the three of us chat about the salary cap issues, or lack thereof, that the Flyers face heading into this offseason. We address criticisms of Danny Briere and go off on se

  • BSH Radio 4: Anthony SanFillippo Talks Flyers, Emery & More

    10/02/2010

    On this week's edition of Broad Street Hockey Radio, Geoff and I have a lengthy discussion with SanFillippo about everything you could possibly imagine about the team. We talk about Ray Emery's injury and how it'll affect his contract talks. Does he think it should? We'll talk about a column he wrote over the weekend that seemed to be a veiled criticism of Paul Holmgren. He tells us if it was. Sticking with the same subject, we ask SanFillippo if Holmgren is really, truly serious about saying that he won't trade Jeff Carter. We also talk about the Olympics and a few media-related things before some fun talk about who the best player in the locker room to get a quote from might be. It's a 40 minute chat and his answers are unbelievably in depth. It's highly recommended. After the interview, Ben joins the show from snowy, Internet-less D.C. The three of us talk about the Emery injury, what it means for the future at the goaltender position in Philadelphia, Jeff Carter's hit on Anssi Salmela, the Olympics, an

  • BSH Radio 3: Frank D Talks Flyers-Pens, Carcillo Beats Down Gaborik, New Defensemen?

    27/01/2010

    On this week's edition of Broad Street Hockey Radio, we jump in right off the bat and talk about Dan Carcillo's beatdown of Marian Gaborik last week. Should Gaborik have dropped the gloves with Carcillo? Should a teammate have stepped in? Was there a lack of honor in it, as John Tortorella said there was? We then bring in Frank D from Pensburgh and fromtherink.com to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins, mostly surrounding the game from this past weekend. He talks about goalie Brent Johnson. Is he really a decent goalie or did the Flyers just not get the job done against him on Sunday? What about the fledgling Pens power play? Are the Flyers even considered a threat to the Penguins anymore?Moving on, we peer into the future and try to figure out what the Flyers may do at the trade deadline. Paul Holmgren has said he's looking for a defenseman, so who's available? Should the Flyers even do anything? Is trading for prospects instead of roster players a smarter idea? And what about this offseason? What's the plan

  • BSH Radio 2: Sarah Baicker of CSNPhilly.com on Richards v. Media. Also, Ray Emery Returns.

    27/01/2010

    Sarah Baicker of CSNPhilly.com joins on us this weeks program. We talk about the recent battle in the ongoing war between Mike Richards and the Philadelphia media and her take on the situation as a member of one side of that feud. We also talk about some other media-related stuff, including CSN Philly's rise in the Internet realm. But in shifting back to hockey, Sarah gives us her take on the current crop of Flyers, Ray Emery's return, and if we should have hope for this Flyers team to still make a deep run in the postseason.Geoff, Ben, and I also discuss the two most recent games the Flyers have played in, versus Washington and Columbus. We talk at length about Emery's' return. Was it too soon? Did he improve against Columbus on Tuesday?Also, Ben was in attendance at Verizon Center in DC on Sunday and he gives us his first hand take on just how much he likes Caps fans.

  • BSH Radio 1: Leafs Beat Flyers, FSN Pittsburgh Fallout, Syvret the Offensive Dynamo

    20/01/2010

    On the first edition of the program, the three of us talk about Thursday night's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Was it a case of the Flyers looking ahead to the Capitals on Sunday, or are there greater concerns here? How much should we worry about this game in particular? We talk about the fights that took place and the hype that built up heading into the game. Did Scott Hartnell's absence from the lineup take away from the potential for early fisticuffs? We also discuss our thoughts the physical play that did take place toward the end of the game, namely Jay Rosehill, Colton Orr, and their gang of thieves. We move on from the game and talk about the FSN Pittsburgh incident. Did FSN's producer know that his actions would have such a large impact on the game? What should the NHL do going forward to prevent these things from happening? We somehow find our way back to on-ice stuff and discuss Michael Leighton, his stellar play of late, and when we might see Ray Emery playing hockey again. We also specu
