Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. It looked ugly for the Philadelphia Flyers early in the first period. The San Jose Sharks under Todd McLellan were one of the league’s best dump-and-chase, forechecking squads, and they’ve retained that to an extent under new…
Hands up, who’s following the Brandon Wheat Kings this year? They’re currently second in the WHL’s East Division, and third in the Eastern Conference. They’re fifth in the overall league. In short: they’re doing pretty well. And their 6-2 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers last night certainly helped. You know who helped get that…
Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. Shayne Gostisbehere was rightfully the hero from last night’s win – his shift during the game-winning power play in overtime was a thing of beauty, from the keep-in at the point, to finding an open spot in…
*The Capitals are back tonight and looks like we’ll see Josh Bailey back in the lineup; he was recalled from Allentown yesterday. [BSH] *Unfortunately, the addition of Bailey seems to be because Jakub Voracek is still out with his undisclosed lower body injury. [Philly.com] *Thankfully, it would appear that the “Shayne Gostisbehere is expendable” chatter…
*The San Jose Sharks are in town tonight. 7PM start. Hopefully the Flyers build off of Tuesday’s fun exciting loss. *Despite losing to the Kings the Flyers definitely seemed to find some sort of rhythm during the game. [Courier-Post] *Charlie’s got ten things to learn from that Kings game. Most of them are good woo!…
Ghost!!! Okay, so Shayne Gostisbehere’s overtime winner was awesome, right? Of course it was, and not just because it snapped a three-game losing streak for the Philadelphia Flyers, or the second goal of his very young career. Nope, it was also because it was an overtime winner, and those are always awesome. This is a…
No confirmation on this from the Flyers or the Phantoms, but there’s no reason not to believe John Buccigross. .@ColinMcDonald13 called up by Flyers. Good luck!

Before tonight’s game, I wrote out a list of several things for which I am thankful, specifically concerning my favorite National Hockey League team, the Philadelphia Flyers. I wrote the list by hand in my dream journal, of course, but I’ve taken the liberty of transcribing a shortened version here: The amount of ginger facial…
Last night, the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Calgary Flames in Anaheim for the 21st time in a row. Calgary hasn’t won in Anaheim since 2004. What does this have to do with the Philadelphia Flyers, you ask? Not a whole lot, really – just a reminder that while Anaheim has been dominating Calgary, they still…
*The Flyers are in Brooklyn this evening to take on the Islanders in their arena where you can’t watch half the hockey. Puck drops at 730PM woo! *Sam Gagner is out with an injury, so the Flyers have called up Colin McDonald again. [BSH] *The Flyers will need their special teams to stay consistently good…
