Riding off a huge 2-1 win over the Rangers, the Flyers want to keep rolling as they travel to Florida for the weekend. They start things off with the Panthers tonight at 7:30 PM.

Sestito, Shelley are irrelevant to the Flyers

The one-trick pony enforcer is dying in today's NHL.

No longer is it worth having a guy on the team who only fights and skates five minutes of ice time per game. Instead, the guys who are willing to drop the gloves also have a clue as to what to do with a hockey stick and when the puck is on it.

That leaves Jody Shelley and Tom Sestito practically irrelevant on the Flyers and their pursuit of a successful season.

On and off, the two have been in the line up for the Flyers. And in the rarest, and most unfortunate occasions, the two goons were in the line up together for five times this season. In those five times, the Flyers are 1-3-1.

End of the line for Shelley?

There were several memorable moments from HBO’s month long stay with the Philadelphia Flyers.

The network’s all-access show, 24/7, provided fans a glimpse inside a world that had previously been foreign to them.

Besides all the entertaining off-ice activity, the four-part documentary also showed how the players interact with one another on the ice.

Peter Laviolette, Claude Giroux and Scott Hartnell all displayed that they each have a colorful way of expressing themselves when they go to work.

However, the most informative instance on the show came from an unlikely source.

Mr. Irrelevant.

Youth is wasted on the young.

The phrase is now clichéd at this point, but it originated from Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw.

The saying is a commentary on how young people have all the opportunities in the world, yet lack the maturity and wisdom to properly take advantage of them.

For Philadelphia Flyers rookie forward Sean Couturier, the saying carries little weight.
