Well would you guys look at that! The losing streak’s over! What were we even worried about? Everything’s great, right! This is thrilling! *deep breath* OK, now we can bring it down a level. We saw a good game from the Flyers—perhaps the best in their last six—they picked up a well deserved win, and…
Today I am joined by Sara Civian to discuss tonight’s game against the Boston Bruins (who are from Boston. Which is in New England. The Eagles beat the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl. Go Birds). Topics discussed: No David Backes, no Charlie McAvoy, no Patrice Bergeron – this sounds good for the…
And that’s all, folks! That’ll close out the series against the Canadiens for the season. It feels like not too long ago that we were looking at the Canadiens, and that’s probably because it wasn’t. The Flyers and the Habs met at home just under two weeks ago, and it was all late-game heroics to…
Guys! Guys wake up! It’s over, the game is over. And the Flyers won! We learned some things too, we took some notes while you were dozing and have a host of (well, the usual ten) observations for your consumption. Let’s dig in.

Our fourth and final look at the Flyers’ team awards (after trying to decide who was the best defenseman, most improved player, “class guy”, and who had the “most heart”) brings us to the Bobby Clarke Trophy, given yearly to the team’s most valuable player. Below are our staff’s votes, with varying amounts of elaboration….
Oh how quickly things can change in the National Hockey League. This time last week, the Flyers were the hottest team in hockey with points in 12-straight and now they’re losers of three-straight thanks to a rotten Florida trip that ended with a 4-1 loss at the hands of the Florida Panthers on Sunday night….
If the Flyers were going to put an end to their latest losing streak amid a slew of contending teams, they were going to need good goaltending to do it, and boy did they get it. Petr Mrazek was sensational in net, stopping 27 of 28 shots, as the Flyers held on for a 2-1…
Pregame: I usually don’t start with anything in these, but the Flyers broke out Kate Smith and “God Bless America” for this one and oh man, first time I’ve had chills watching this team in a while, that was awesome. 1st Period: The Flyers started this game off well, getting some early pressure on Henrik…
