VOORHEES – There’s certainly a stark contrast from the lines that were trotted out for Monday’s split squad game compared to the lineup that will skate out onto the Wells Fargo Center ice on Tuesday night against the New York Islanders. The game is at 7 p.m. and will be televised locally on The Comcast…
Again, the second period proved to be the Flyers’ best period of the game. Unfortunately, this time, that second period wasn’t enough to put them over the edge. Some stout goaltending from all-world netminder Carey Price and a late goal on a deflection in front cost the Flyers a point tonight in Montreal, where they…
For years, the Philadelphia Eagles have owned social media in this town with their ridiculous, goosebump-inducing hype videos. But I think the Flyers just put together the best version of those videos that the city has ever seen. (Maybe. I don’t know. Some of those Eagles ones are reaaaaalllly good.) I can’t even count the…
As you may have seen last week, we’ll be partnering with our friends at Philly Phaithful all season long to give away a free Flyers shirt each time the squad wins a game this season. (Congrats to @RichiePasq on the shirt from Friday’s win!) Our giveaway lets you pick any one of Philly Phaithful’s selection…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Provorov simply looks ready The Flyers were never going to make it easy for Ivan Provorov to make the team out of camp this year. The 2015 seventh overall pick faced both a lineup full of NHL…
Hockey players come in all different shapes and sizes. From Zdeno Chara to Nathan Gerbe, to a more local spectrum of Sam Morin to, let’s say, Nick Cousins, every player comes with a different makeup. Similarly, every player has a different approach to their offseason. Perhaps that’s a bit surprising. They’re hockey players; they skate,…
Flyers president Paul Holmgren met with the assembled media in Voorhees on and gave an answer to a question that’s been lingering in the back of all our minds since the death of Ed Snider two weeks ago: who calls the shots around here now? As it turns out, hockey operations will still mostly be…

Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Flyers flipped their shot volume/quality script Yesterday, I wrote an article breaking down the Flyers’ tendency so far this season to win the shot volume battle at 5v5 but lose in overall shot quality. Their score-adjusted Corsi…
Entering tonight’s game, a win by the New York Islanders would have pulled them into a matchup with Pittsburgh in the first round, whereas a loss would have meant a matchup with Florida. They weren’t exactly thirsty for a win, and they sat John Tavares, Frans Nielsen, Kyle Okposo and Johnny Boychuk as a result….
