The Flyers dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, but not the one fans and pundits really saw coming. It was GM Ron Hextall —and not coach Dave Hakstol— who got the axe as the Flyers’ top brass citing a differing philosophical approach on the direction of the club as a driving factor in the move. Hextall…
For the past few seasons here at BSH, right before the season’s begun, we’ve taken part in what we call the Flyers Over/Under game, wherein we set a number of lines pertaining to the season and ask our fearless contributors to make decisions on them. Sneaking in right under the wire, here are our over/under…
The Flyers were pissed off after their game on Thursday, as they should have been, since their effort on Thursday was unacceptable. A team that has tried to pride itself on strong defensive play had been nothing short of disastrous defensively for the first two weeks of the season, and against a Devils team that…
The Philadelphia Flyers faced the Boston Bruins Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center. The Flyers battled back and scored three consecutive goals. Dale Weise opened the scoring with a top shelf snipe, Claude Giroux fired back on the power play, and then Travis Konecny got the Flyers within a goal. The Flyers fell to…
The Philadelphia Flyers dropped a preseason game at the Wells Fargo Center to what amounted to the Boston Bruins B-team, but results aren’t all that important this time of year. However, what was concerning was Brian Elliott continuing not to look 100%, Philippe Myers turning the puck over leading to a goal, which could mean…
Well, how’s that for a Friday news dump. First cuts, now an injury update. What we knew Pascal Laberge hasn’t gotten in for a preseason game, and hasn’t been assigned to the Phantoms. He left the practice skate early on September 14, didn’t seem to be in any sort of dramatic contact situation, and has…
Hello again, folks! After a brief hiatus the Flyers return to action today against the Vegas Golden Knights at the Wells Fargo Center. The Flyers are coming off of a bounce-back win in Ottawa on Wednesday, and now look to build off of that in their second home game of the young season. They will…
Ed Snider left a lot of legacy when he passed, but it’s arguable that the biggest impact will be made by his Ed Snider Youth Hockey foundation, which aims to support local kids and teach important life skills through the game of hockey. Later this month, you can be a part of the Snider legacy…
Right-handed defenseman Philippe Myers came to camp with the goal of making the Flyers. Okay, wait, so did everybody else; let’s try that again. Myers came into camp with a legitimate shot to make the team, thanks to an off-season injury to Andrew MacDonald, and poor showings from Christian Folin and Robert Hagg through camp…
They did it, guys! After looking a little shaky for a stretch there, the Flyers finally picked up their first win at home of the season. And that was kind of an emotional roller coaster, right? Did we still have fun? I hope so. Either way, a whole lot happened and we almost ran out…
