Woah woah, back to back days with hockey? And another game tomorrow? Oh it’s a beautiful sight! What wasn’t so beautiful was the actual game yesterday. The Flyers returned in…more or less typical Flyers fashion, a 3-0 loss at the hands of the New York Islanders. The orange and black return home to the Wells…
Yours, mine, and our Philadelphia Flyers had been teasing something for a week. Our super sleuths thought it may be a mascot and even started to guess what it may look like. Today it was revealed that it is essentially a cartoon form of Scott Hartnell — a “seven-foot, orange, fuzzy creature” named Gritty. Join…
*GOOD NEWS we can all stop talking about Erik Karlsson! *Anyhoo, actual hockey games are back which means recaps are back! Did you miss the rookie game because it wasn’t on television? No worries. Relive the magic. RECAP! *And the return of hockey also means the return of our pal Charlie’s Ten Things. Granted, you…
Thursday night vs. the Golden Knights, we got nearly everything we wanted which, in Vegas, is about as rare as a unicorn playing the trumpet or Dave Hakstol giggling during a post-game interview. These things usually just don’t happen. However, in getting what we wanted – a 5-2 win vs one of last year’s cup…

Happy weekend, everybody! We’ve officially made it through the week, and we’ve officially made it through our “who should be the new 3C list!” We’ve looked through our best (and, uh, not best) options and had some talks and maybe now we have some feelings about potential fits and who we want to see win…
Yesterday we focused on the Flyers’ forwards and took a look at the predictability and repeatability of a few different statistics. Today we’ll be looking at the team’s defenders, revisiting those same statistics from a day ago, and will be introducing a third and final category in zone entry defense. Let’s start with what was…

Well that was fun! If you had “Flyers beat defending Western Conference Champions by a 3-goal margin” as the season-opening headline, well, let’s just say you and I were not in the same head space. But they did it, and one player who had both an obvious, and not so obvious, impact on the game…
