Al Morganti: Carter Hart is the key to the Flyers' future

by Al Morganti

The most important person in the Flyers organization is not the new general manager Chuck Fletcher. It’s not captain Claude Giroux, and it’s certainly not interim coach Scott Gordon, or whoever is behind the team’s bench beyond this season. The most important person in the Flyers organization is a 20-year old kid from Alberta named Carter Hart.

by Al Morganti

Al Morganti: 'If Pederson or any of the Eagles thought there would be a grace period they were very wrong'

by Al Morganti

The Super Bowl champion Eagles are headed toward the mid point of the season looking like anything but a team ready to defend its title. The team is headed to London with a game it must win to keep its head at sea level at the half way point of the season.

by Al Morganti

From the front office, to the manager’s chair, to the locker room, and right into the stands, the Philadelphia Phillies 2018 season has been a regrettable mess that will mercifully come to a close this weekend.
