That's our boy

This didn't come as a surprise to us Flyers fans, but The Hockey News just named Flyers' coach John Stevens as the 2006-2007 NHL Coach of the Year. Citing the Flyers' remarkable turnaround and subsequent run to the Eastern Conference finals, THN's Jason Kay gave Stevens kudos for his "slick touch working with his youthful lineup". Of course, the Jack Adams award winner was Washington's Bruce Boudreau, but who cares??? HOCKEY NEWS, BABY!!!!

Speaking of that "youthful lineup", TSN has reported that right winger Joffrey Lupul has signed a four-year extension with the O&B, keeping him in Philly until 2012. This, combined with the Jeff Carter extension, means that the current Flyers set-up should be intact for quite some time.

October 11 can't get here fast enough.
