It’s a celebratory episode of BSH Radio this week as the gang tries to ignore the unfortunate end to the Stanley Cup Final in favor of better news, such as Shayne Gostisbehere’s six-year, $27 million extension. The hiring of assistant coach Kris Knoblauch is also a key topic of conversation, as the crew first debates…
The Nico Hischier vs. Nolan Patrick debate is ultimately kind of pointless for us here in Philadelphia, as the Flyers are simply going to get the player that the New Jersey Devils do not pick with their No. 1 overall selection. But that shouldn’t — and won’t — stop us from talking about which player…
2,919 days ago, the Phantoms played in their most recent playoff game. It was a 1-0 loss to the Hershey Bears at the Giant Center, the final game in the history of the Philadelphia Phantoms. It closed out a sweep in that East Division Semifinal series, and it was the first of four series wins…
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms were the fourth-best team in the American Hockey League in 2016-17, and as they enter the playoffs, it’s possible that they’re getting even better. As the team gathered today for their first practice in the run-up to Friday’s playoff opener, news broke that junior defenseman Philippe Myers will join the team…
Matthew Strome comes from a strong blood line of hockey talent. Brothers Ryan and Dylan were drafted 5th and 3rd overall in their respective NHL Entry Drafts. Matthew does not hold the draft pedigree that his brother have, as he was drafted in the fourth round this past June. However, he is not just a…
Do you remember the NHL Network commercial about giving one hundred percent? (If not, here is a refresher.) Well, if you’ve ever watched Mark Friedman at Flyers development camp, you know he gives 100% effort, 100% of the time. Seriously, watch this guy. Friedman deposits Cates with ease. pic.twitter.com/VKBJQDuT3x — Charlie O’Connor (@BSH_Charlie) July 8,…
As we head into August, it is time for one of our favorite offseason pastimes here at Broad Street Hockey: the Flyers 25 Under 25. An exercise that has become progressively more fun every year since we started doing it in the winter of 2014, the 25 Under 25 is more or less what it…
Nolan Patrick will not be on the ice in Flyers development camp in July. The Flyers broke the news late Friday afternoon that Patrick had surgery back on June 13 to repair an abdominal injury — likely the already-known core injury issue he was dealing with this past season. From the Flyers: Nolan Patrick will…
Unlike other prospects on our 25 Under 25 list so far, forward Mike Vecchione has seen NHL action with the Flyers. He saw action in two late-season games with the orange and black this past season. Vecchione finished up his fourth and final season with the Union Flying Dutchmen this past March, and on March…
After debuting at No. 18 on these rankings last go-around (and slipping to 19 at the midterm), Pascal Laberge was primed for a big 2016-17 season after being drafted 36th overall in the 2016 NHL Draft. If there are constants in hockey (and life), is that there are just folks who just want to watch…
