Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. In the November 25th game against the Islanders, the Flyers posted their worst controlled zone entry percentage of the season (26.87%). During that game, Philadelphia was generating little speed through the neutral zone, which caused them to…
He had a hell of a shot, too, didn’t he? Other goalies were credited with a goal before Ron Hextall scored his first, but Hextall was the first to intentionally get his. It wasn’t like Billy Smith being the last to touch the puck before the opposing team put it in their own net: it…
Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. Lately, we’ve seen a lot of Flyers games in which the run of play tended to skew pretty heavily towards one side — win or lose, there was often one team that seemed to be getting the…
Things are going pretty well for Travis Sanheim right now. He’s having success in juniors, second in scoring both on his Calgary Hitmen and out of all WHL defensemen with 28 points through 22 games – fewer games played than the other top guys. He’s a good candidate to make Team Canada’s World Juniors team….
*The Flyers are in St. Louis tonight, sure hope the game doesn’t give us the Blues LOL! Puck drops at 8PM because of time zones, go Flyers. *Flyers goalie prospect Merrick Madsen is doing pretty well for Harvard right now. [Flyers] *Vinny Lecavalier is absolutely, positively not retiring. So get that out of your heads….
*The Carolina Hurricanes are in town tonight, and we’ll be seeing Jakub Voracek on the left wing. Should be interesting. Puck drops at 7PM. [Inquirer] *Hakstol and a few of his players spoke about the line shuffling after practice yesterday. [Flyers] *We’re also likely to see the return of Sam Gagner to the lineup. [CSN…
ARE YOU KIDDING US @traviskonecny? The @NHLFlyers prospect had ANOTHER dazzling goal last night! Straight . pic.twitter.com/LzA5UK6G8n — Ottawa 67’s (@Ottawa67sHockey) December 10, 2015 We’ve seen a lot of ridiculous Travis Konecny stuff so far this hockey season, but I don’t think any of them quite rival this one from Wednesday night’s game against the…
Having a good winter coat is important. Staying warm is important! And while hockey players can’t exactly wear coats while playing, there’s still the rest of the year they have to deal with – and they work in the coldest months, so they’ll be wearing them a lot going to and from the arena. So…
When the Philadelphia Flyers beat the St. Louis Blues 4-2, Claude Giroux had a hand in three of the four goals, including the game winner. He just added to an already impressive total. Giroux has 27 points this season. The Flyers have scored 60 goals. Giroux has, therefore, been responsible for 45% of the Flyers’…
*The Flyers were in Dallas Friday and they did…well, about as well as you’d expect them to do against a team as good as the Stars. RECAP! *Kurt brings us ten things we learned from the loss, which might’ve seemed close but really wasn’t close at all. [BSH] *Sean Couturier had a particularly bad night,…
