Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. With the Flyers on the second night of a back-to-back and facing a Detroit team that had not played since Thursday, it was fair to expect that the Red Wings might have the overall edge in play….
There was Dave Hakstol, in his capacity of head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, giving the team a little chat at center ice after practice this morning in Voorhees. And seemingly right in the middle of his speech, nah … screw that, said Michael Raffl. It’s pie time. I CAN’T pic.twitter.com/ILDRubXne8 — Ariel Melendez (@ArielHeartsYou)…
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms entered the third period of their game vs. the Hershey Bears on Friday night down 3-2 on the scoreboard and down 20-18 in the shot count. By the end of the third period, they’d be down 4-3 on the scoreboard … yet up 45-21 in shots. Not a typo. They outshot…
There are a number of things one could say about the Philadelphia Flyers, but let’s keep it simple and roll with this: they know how to win in Pittsburgh. They also know how to flaunt this fact very, very well. Home sweet (second) home #PHIvsPIT pic.twitter.com/XldNMVAhCJ — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) January 21, 2016 It’s always…
Here’s a conundrum I was faced with, going into tonight’s game: if a rivalry is one-sided, is it fun anymore? The answer is of course. Of course it’s fun. As long as you’re on the good side of the rivalry, there is nothing more fun. I mean, honestly, what’s better than mercilessly mocking the people…
*The Flyers find themselves in Pittsburgh tonight, the poor bastards. Stuck eating sandwiches on soggy bread with cold french fries stuffed inside. Puck drops at 7 and it’s sure to be a fun one. *Might see Jordan Weal tonight! That’ll be awesome. Really want to see what this guy brings to the team. [Sons of…
Shayne Gostisbehere is very good at hockey. This in and of itself isn’t totally surprising. What is surprising, though, is just how good he is. It’s unreal to even recall he didn’t make the Philadelphia Flyers initially, and started his season down in the AHL before he was recalled on Nov. 14, 2015. Since then,…
The Philadelphia Flyers‘ win over the Boston Bruins‘ saw two particularly impressive performances courtesy of Claude Giroux, Jakub Voracek, and their three-point games. It’s not the first time Giroux and Voracek have scored that much in a single game this season. The 3-2 win was Giroux’s third three-point game of the season, and Voracek’s second….
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. This was a particularly tough regulation loss for the Flyers to take, because it truly felt like a game worthy of overtime. As they have been wont to do recently, Philadelphia dug themselves an early hole, this time…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. The opening eleven minutes last night felt so far removed from the rest of the contest that it might as well have been a different game altogether. The Flyers were moving through the neutral zone efficiently and taking…
