ALLENTOWN– This one hurt. Complacency and fundamental mistakes cost the Phantoms an important two-points against a division rival as they dropped a 3-4 OT heartbreaker to Binghamton, Wednesday. After going up 2-0 in the first period, and leading the worst team in the Eastern Conference for more than 55 minutes, the Phantoms collapsed, allowing the…
Let’s just forget about last night’s 5-1 loss to Providence. The Phantoms take on Hartford tonight in their third game in four days and third meeting with the Wolf Pack this season who have beaten Lehigh Valley in regulation and overtime in November and December. Hartford (29-16-4-3) currently sits in fourth place in the Eastern…
ALLENTOWN— After dropping their sixth consecutive home game, and 11th of the New Year on Friday in a 5-1 setback to Providence, head coach Terry Murray didn’t address his team, saying the players needed time to “grab a hold of this thing and think about what they’ve got to do.” The loss placed the Phantoms…
In a “must win” game against a universally disrespected opponent, the Flyers in large part did exactly what they were supposed to do. They thoroughly outplayed their opponent at all strengths, and put up enough chances to win. In total, the Sabres were held to just nine scoring chances at all strengths. The Flyers doubled…
*The Flyers are in Raleigh tonight to take on the Hurricanes. Should be interesting to see what kind of team shows up; the team that played the Sabres or the team that beat the Preds. Preview! *One thing we won’t see tomorrow night? Ray Emery. He got hurt..somehow. At first it seemed like Steve Mason…
The Flyers have strung together what seems like their best stretch of games all year. Be it the lineup changes or some other unforeseen catalyst, this team has legitimately come alive at even strength. After a season of abject mediocrity at 5v5, it’s bewildering to see them round into form just in time to make…
*The Flyers had a weekend in which we all went from “top five pick woo!” to “hahaha this crazy bunch of scamps is totally making the playoffs let’s do this.” What a fun time to be alive. First up, Saturday’s win against the Predators. RECAP! *Aaaaand the nerd report for the game. [BSH] *And then…
When the Flyers let a point slip away to Sabres on Thursday, a prescient Craig Berube said in his post game press conference “anybody can beat anybody in the league”. In almost shocking fashion, the Flyers would go on to completely show up the Nashville Predators, who hold the league’s best record and 5v5 numbers…
Full disclosure, I may nodded off at various points in this game. The scouting report on the Canes is “solid, defensive team” which is usually code for boring and uneventful hockey. They more than lived up to that billing keeping the Flyers to just nine scoring chances at evens. That being said, the Hurricanes didn’t…
