2015 has been a good year for the Phantoms (so far). Lehigh Valley is on a 4-0 run in the New Year — all on the road — which, for the Phantoms is a huge step from the 4-10-2 road record they held in 2014. While the Phantoms (18-12-4-1) have been hot on the road…
ALLENTOWN — Phantoms head coach Terry Murray had no comment on tonight’s 3-2 loss to Albany, but we can all guess what he’s thinking. After taking a one-goal lead in the second period, the Phantoms spent a lot of unnecessary time in the penalty box — 10 penalties in total for the game — and…
The Flyers followed up one of their best even strength performances of the season with one of their worst on Thursday night. For only a brief stretch of 5-6 minutes did the Flyers look even remotely like a competitive team. This was the antithesis of a score affected game. Despite jumping out to a huge…
I don’t think it’s a stretch to call this one of the most underwhelming victories of the Flyers season. The Buffalo Sabres are one of the worst even strength teams in the last decade, let alone this year. And the Flyers were largely outplayed at 5v5. It look a stellar 2 for 3 night from…
ALLENTOWN— The Phantoms established early this season that they were not a “catch up team,” and if they were going to be successful, they had to score first and fast. That was Nick Cousins’ objective tonight in the Phantoms 5-1 win over Binghamton, setting the tone by scoring just 14 seconds into the game. But…
Last night the Phantoms locker room was silent after their 3-2 loss to Albany, plagued by doubt-digit penalties and “correctable mistakes.” But alternate captain Andrew Gordon said those mistakes should be resolved in time for tonight’s 7:05 puck drop against Binghamton. The Senators are five-points behind Lehigh Valley in the East Division, and are traveling…
Since we’re not expecting playoff hockey in Philadelphia this spring, we’re probably going to get a little more comfortable with the prospects available in the 2015 NHL Draft. The league’s Central Scouting department released its midterm draft rankings on Tuesday morning, and A final listing will be released in the spring, but this is the…
*Don’t forget, the Flyers are playing the Islanders this afternoon at 1PM. Afternoon hockey on a Monday is so delicious. Hope you’re not at work! Preview the game here. *Today’s game will mark the Flyers’ last time playing at Nassau Coliseum. [Flyers] *So the Flyers won a game Saturday night! Yes, it was just the…
Steve Mason has been one of the pleasant surprises this season for the Philadelphia Flyers. Mason has an 8-12-6 record this year with a .920 save percentage. He has been impressive when he has played, and is ranked among the top half of all goalies in the league by save percentage even with the low-quality…
*Pens tonight. Winning would be preferable. Puck drops at 730, check back this afternoon for a preview and a sacrifice to the hockey gods. *Yesterday afternoon’s game against the Islanders? Not so great. Not really good in any measurable way, really. Recap! *And here’s an article in which those ways are measured. [Buzz On Broad]…
