Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. Jakub Voracek was the hero last night, scoring two goals, including a highlight reel overtime game winner in which he fought off Evgeny Kuznetsov behind the net before sniping a rocket past Braden Holtby into the top corner….
*The Flyers will be in Washington, D.C. this evening to take on our old pal Mike Richards and his Washington Capitals. Game is at 8PM because we’re Rivals and stuff. Go Flyers! *But uh…do the Flyers have a goalie for this game? Serious question. [Sons of Penn] *Before tonight’s game you can look back at…
It’s not a shocker that Claude Giroux’s stickhandling skills are out of this world, but it’s always fun to get a reminder. Like this video released by the NHL and GoPro this morning: Wait for the 1:50 mark or so. They yell out “Frogger!” and have Giroux stick-handle through an onslaught of pucks and a…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. It’s easy to say that the Flyers gave away this game starting in the second period, considering the fact that they were up 2-0 over the Penguins after the first twenty minutes. And to be sure, the second…
*The Flyers were meant to have a hockey game in Brooklyn on Saturday but the snow gods had other ideas. They’ll makeup the missed game at some point, but tonight it is on to the Bruins. Puck drops at 7. *Speaking of, Claude Giroux, Mark Streit, and Dave Hakstol have some thoughts about the snowstorm….
*Let’s start right at the top: John Scott, in his own words, on what a bunch of scummy jerks the NHL executives are. If you didn’t like this guy before, you will now. [The Players’ Tribune] *Now that we’re on a lengthy little break, we here at BSH thought it seemed like a fine time…
pic.twitter.com/l27v5tYVKe — Claude Giroux (@28CGiroux) January 23, 2016 Yeah, that emoji about sums it up. Missing out on a game tonight and still having to make your way through that weather (while you still can) isn’t anywhere near as good as getting an entire week off of school. … Which both Claude Giroux and Mark…
Jason LaBarbera has been recalled by the Philadelphia Flyers. He’ll be the backup goaltender when the team travels to Washington, D.C. to take on the Capitals tonight. The recall is due to an injury to goaltender Steve Mason, who the team says is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. That means Michal Neuvirth will get the…
*The Flyers are in Nashville tonight, where I assume Claude Giroux will relive some kind of All-Star game glory. Puck drops at 8PM. *And tomorrow the Flyers alumni will play a game in Reading and ahead of that fun, here are some in-depth profiles of the guys who will be playing. [Flyers] *Radko Gudas will…
The NHL All-Star Break is time for the players to relax. It’s a long, grinding 82-game season, after all, and by late January, teams are approaching 50 games. That’s a lot – and so, the perfect time for a break. Some players, like Claude Giroux, still have a show to put on. Then there’s everybody…
