About Dan »

I am a die-hard Philadelphia Flyers fan, and a huge fan of the sport of hockey in general. I strongly believe it is the greatest sport in the world. Outside of hockey, I am a fan of soccer, tennis, and baseball. I think football is overrated in America, though I do tend to find myself watching it every weekend. I've grown up on the east coast, mainly around Boston and Philly, so most of my allegiances lie in one of those two cities (except, for some reason, I consider myself a Denver Broncos fan).

I hate any sports team affiliated with New York (not counting Buffalo). I make an exception for the Islanders, because I feel bad for them.

Dan,

As a hockey fan I felt that the Conference Finals were mostly uninteresting, and I wasn't really inspired by watching them. I wrote an article about it. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi there,

I have recently started my own project to rank the top 100 hockey players off all-time and just recently posted players 1-10. I would love to hear what you think about my list or for you to even post your own list in the comments section. Please, give it a read!
