In case you weren’t positive, that shot wasn’t tipped on the way in. All Ghost. More here on Gostisbehere’s strong game, and why he’s making Craig Berube think.

It’s silly to get too worked up over preseason, especially when your team is playing its third game in three nights and has a shit lineup on the ice as a result. Craig Berube played three legitimate NHL forwards tonight, four if you count Jason Akeson. They actually started either right at or very close…

Just hours into training camp, Flyers fans were already holding their breath regarding the status of star Claude Giroux, who quickly tweaked his groin during the very first practice session of camp. Luckily for Philadelphia, Giroux made a quick recovery and returned tonight. With his help, they were able to defeat the New York Rangers…

After a not-so-stellar “AHL” performance during Monday’s Flyers/Rangers matchup, the nearly complete Phantoms roster will compete in their first solo preseason game tonight at 7:05 in Allentown against their Eastern Conference, Divisional and intra-state rivals, the Hershey Bears. Flyers called up Phantoms’ Mark Alt, Andrew Gordon, Taylor Leier and Darroll Powe for Monday’s ugly preseason…

Back in late July, before we knew Kimmo Timonen would likely be unable to play again, I wrote an article about how Shayne Gostisbehere should make the team because it could make the most financial sense. Here we are a little over two months later, Gostisbehere has been sent to the Phantoms, and I’m now…

ALLENTOWN — The Phantoms power play needs work. After 60 minutes and eight power play opportunities, the Phantoms let their Eastern Conference and divisional rival, the Hershey Bears, take the 3-1 win in the first “official” game in their new arena. The Phantoms spent a lot of time in the penalty box in the first…

The Flyers currently do not have an enforcer on their roster. I literally do not remember the last time this was true, but it is right this second. Jay Rosehill, Chris VandeVelde and Rob Zepp were all waived on Friday with the purpose of being sent to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. It’s the final day…

WASHINGTON — The Flyers blew a late one-goal lead in their preseason finale Thursday night before losing 3-2 in a shootout at the hands of the Capitals. Shootouts are stupid anyway. It was a pretty dull game throughout until the final minute or so, when Eric Fehr found a loose puck in a sea of…

Update: Morin’s been sent back to junior. TSN’s Bob McKenzie reports tonight that the Flyers are trying to move a defenseman in an attempt to get Samuel Morin on the opening night roster. Here’s the video of that report. We’ve transcribed the pertinent section below. The Philadelphia Flyers are also trying to move a defenseman….

The Flyers end their preseason in Washington, D.C. on Thursday night, and aside from an absent, slightly-injured Wayne Simmonds, they’ll ice their full opening night roster this evening. Cuts are expected tomorrow, but expect this game to essentially be a dress rehearsal for Craig Berube’s club. And yes, that means that it appears as though…
