*Over the course of this weekend it really became Flyers season, as training camp rolled right into tonight’s first preseason game. And to start the weekend off, we learned that Nolan Patrick is hurt. Again. As an extremely brilliant man (Bill) once said, players that are hurt all the time get hurt all the time….
“Why isn’t Konecny done yet?” At around the 27:56 mark of the most recent episode of BSH Radio, Kelly, Steph, and I pondered Travis Konecny’s contract status ahead of a fast-approaching training camp. Of the Philadelphia Flyers’ two most notable restricted free agents, Ivan Provorov had been viewed as the tougher obstacle, in terms of…
*After a day of rumors suggesting it, Ivan Provorov has FINALLY signed an extension, just in time for today’s opening of training camp. Hot damn. [BSH] *Those in the know seem to suggest that Travis Konecny is still not close to a deal. Like, not close at all. So… what are we looking at if…
As the kids hit the ice in Allentown to play a real life hockey game against the New York Islanders, the gang sat down to talk a little training camp, the possibility of a rogue veteran making the team, and the status of Ivan Provorov and Travis Konecny heading into this week’s training camp kickoff….

Well,…
*Preseason continued last night with the second game against those Islanders and the Flyers lost in overtime. Again. Midseason form baby!! Here’s what we learned from Monday’s opener and, because it rules, have a listen to Bill’s season opener too. *We did not see prodigal son Travis Konecny last night, though. Going to have to…
In case you were wondering how seriously the NHL takes its own preseason games, their official box score for the game, as of 10:50 PM on Monday night, read all zeros. The rosters weren’t shortened to list who was actually playing, there were no goals or penalties recorded. Nothing. In that vein, I present the…
*FRIENDS! The winning has begun! The Flyers beat the Rangers – well, some of them – but three entire goals. And it was fun! [BSH] *The biggest standout from Saturday’s game had to be Carsen Twarynski, who was all over the ice for seemingly the entire match. [NBC Sports Philly] *Charlie has a little more…
