Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. The general consensus in the Flyers locker room after the game was that this contest was lost in the first period. It’s tough to argue that Philadelphia was not dramatically outplayed early, particularly in the middle section of…
There is nothing that brings a fanbase together more than complaining about reffing in spite of a win. It happens rarely, but when it does, it’s a gift. I missed the first ten minutes of the game, and while that usually ensures a very boring time, I happened to miss the Flyers opening up the…
* Fun win last night, huh? Umberger goal, Ghost’s point streak extended. Good stuff. [BSH] * Chicago is getting the 2017 draft. [Second City Hockey] * The Toronto Maple Leafs, who expected to host EVERYTHING in 2017 since it is their centennial year, are fun to laugh at right now. [Eyes On The Prize] *…

There was barely any space for either…
*The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (still calling them that, shut up) are in town tonight and the Flyers are looking to rebound after a weekend of tough, close losses. [Inquirer] *So one thing about Dave Hakstol is he’s super stone-faced and calm most of the time and his players seem to like that steady demeanor….

Actually being in the locker room after a win, though, has to be the best – especially when it’s as big as the Philadelphia Flyers‘ 5-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres. NHL Network spoke with Wayne Simmonds following the game, and he let loose a few neat tidbits….
*The Flyers will be in New Jersey tonight to take on the stupid boring Devils. Here’s hoping Ghost gets a point and the Flyers get a win.
