Even if it is just the preseason, it’s good to get a dominant effort from start to finish. The Flyers did just that in their 5-1 drubbing of the Bruins at the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night. Five different players scored and the Flyers struck twice on the man-advantage to end their recent power…
The Flyers completed their 2017 preseason schedule with a 5-2 loss to the Islanders tonight. Michael Raffl and Wayne Simmonds scored, but the Flyers couldn’t overcome a three-goal third-period lead as the Islanders carried play for the better part of the game. Thomas Greiss was excellent in net for New York, stopping 31 of 33…
The Flyers have stayed largely healthy on defense through the season’s first two weeks, as all of their scratches so far have reportedly been of the “healthy” variety. That will now change, as Andrew MacDonald — the elder statesman of the Flyers’ defense, so to speak — will miss significant time due to a lower-body…
UPDATE: Courtesy of Bill Meltzer, who sometimes writes for the Flyers’ website and as such is likely in a position to know these things, Stolarz’s initial surgery in April was not to repair an MCL tear in his right knee, contrary to a report from The Inquirer at the time. While Meltzer does not confirm…
The Nashville Predators had a lot of contributors in their run to the franchise’s first Stanley Cup Final appearance last season. In his first season with the team, P.K. Subban had a big hand in the Preds’ run, as well as the other top-four d-men in Ryan Ellis, Roman Josi, and Mattias Ekholm. Pekka Rinne…
To say Dale Weise’s first season with the Philadelphia Flyers was underwhelming would be an understatement. Coming into last season as general manager Ron Hextall’s biggest free agent signing of the summer of 2016, Weise didn’t do too much to get the Flyers’ faithful to adore him. The winger not only failed to produce points,…
It’s Hockey Night in Canada, hockey night in Philly, hockey night wherever you’re watching, and the Flyers will swing into Toronto to face off against the Maple Leafs. Hit with injuries, already, and scrambling to find the most effective lines and pairings, the Flyers dropped their last two games against Anaheim and Ottawa. Late game…
Steph Driver sat down with Mark Parkinson from Matchsticks & Gasoline to discuss Saturday afternoon’s matinee between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Calgary Flames. Topics include: Jaromir Jagr, how great is that guy? Did you know Johnny Gaudreau is from South Jersey? Brian Elliott, he’s not that bad! We’re probably going to be playing without…
Shayne Gostisbehere had a rough 2016-17 season. Hampered by the lingering effects of both hip and abdomen surgeries, the Flyers’ blue liner struggled to put the puck in the back of the net and struggled to be on the ice when the right team scored at even strength. Thanks to a 3.5 shooting percentage, Gostisbehere…
Uncalled penalties and sloppy play in all zones held the Flyers back tonight. Despite keeping the shots in their favor (33-25), they fell 6-2 to the Anaheim Ducks in their most discouraging effort of the season. Here’s Radko Gudas with a good representation of how the game went tonight. pic.twitter.com/vK1k2ceWA4 — steph (@myregularface) October 24,…
