It wasn’t the prettiest game. It wasn’t the best game. In fact, for the Flyers, it was really a 40 minute performance tonight, but thanks to some timely goaltending from Michal Neuvirth, an improved penalty kill and two goals from defensemen, the season will continue for at least another game after a 2-1 win in…
I didn’t really think this would happen, to be honest. But here it is: Michal Neuvirth will apparently be the Flyers starting goaltender in tonight’s do-or-die Game 4 against the Washington Capitals. In a not-so-surprising move, appears Michal Neuvirth will be between the pipes for Game 4 — Kyle (@Kyle_Phillippi) April 20, 2016 It’s not…
The Philadelphia Flyers do not have what one would refer to as one of the best defenses in the NHL. With Shayne Gostisbehere now here, and players like Ivan Provorov and Travis Sanheim waiting in the wings, that may one day change – but they aren’t there quite yet. But that didn’t stop the Flyers…
*BIG DAY FOLKS LET’S DO THIS. *Good news on the Scott Laughton front: he’s out of the hospital and is doing well. He won’t play in game five, but he’s okay. That’s what is important. [BSH] *Yesterday the Flyers organization – and the hockey world as a whole, really – paid tribute to Ed Snider…
Holtby and shoddy penalty killing led to a 4-1 Capitals win in Washington Saturday night, putting the Flyers in a 2-0 hole in their best-of-7 series. The Flyers entered tonight’s game looking for an improved effort from Game 1’s 2-0 loss, which saw a solid effort by Mason wasted as the Flyers attack was shut…

Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: The Flyers’ penalty kill is a disaster In all of my years of watching playoff hockey, I’ve never seen one unit so thoroughly torpedo a team’s chances at winning so much as the Flyers’ penalty kill has…
Game 3 between the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals started out wonderfully. Following a beautiful tribute to Ed Snider and particularly emotional Lauren Hart rendition of God Bless America, Michael Raffl scored just 57 seconds into the game to give the Flyers their first lead in the series. And then everything collapsed and was terrible….
In the third period of Friday night’s 1-0 win in Game 5 of the Flyers’ first-round series against the Capitals, Flyers winger Jakub Voracek played a puck up the ice along the wall and was immediately shoved into the boards by Capitals winger Jason Chimera. Voracek remained down for a couple of seconds before making…
On the one hand, it’s pretty crazy that we’re even here talking about this game that’s going to happen today. The Flyers trailed this series 3-0 as recently as 96 hours ago, on the heels of a brutal loss that left this entire team and fanbase with a bitter taste in its mouth for a…
