We have a gift ready for Saturday for one of the FLYest Canadians we know #PurposeTourPhilly pic.twitter.com/yzDdLzRSXf — Wells Fargo Center (@WellsFargoCtr) May 6, 2016 Justin Bieber has this thing. See, he’s Canadian, and Canadians like hockey. So when he goes to an NHL city on his current tour, he tends to get on stage…
Get the Carolina perspective on tonight’s game at Canes Country. Remember this time last week, when the Flyers were undefeated* and everything was sunshine and roses? Things change quickly in sports, don’t they? (*Undefeated, in this case, meaning 1-0-0. Still counts.) This past week was a bit tumultuous, as the Flyers lost two games in…
VOORHEES — Excitement surrounding a preseason game may never reach the level it will tonight after the unveiling of lines during the Flyers morning skate. From top to bottom, the lineup against the Boston Bruins for a 7 p.m. affair at the Wells Fargo Center is littered with talented prospects and the majority of key…
Remember when the Philadelphia Flyers signed Shea Weber to a 14-year, $110 million offer sheet before the Nashville Predators matched it? That was fun, wasn’t it? Not entirely, because it did signal a time the Flyers were desperate to improve their defense. And goaltending, for that matter; the year before, they signed Ilya Bryzgalov to…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Not a great advanced stat night for Flyers, but goalie play matters One of the best-kept secrets in the NHL is that the Carolina Hurricanes are actually a pretty darn solid hockey team at 5-on-5. Whether you…
Last year, before the season started, we here at Broad Street Hockey set up a series of over/under prop bets regarding the 2015-16 Flyers season (at the individual and team level), and we all took a guess on each one. We did very poorly at this guessing! But that’s not going to stop us from…
There’s only so much you can take away from a small sample size, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun looking at the comparison from last year’s Flyers team to this year’s squad through the first 10 games. It’s early, but there’s certainly some impressions to be made as we approach the one-eighth mark…
So we wrote our game preview earlier with the knowledge that Roman Lyubimov would likely make his NHL debut in Chicago tonight, and … OK, cool. You can argue it’s good, even. Lyubimov was one of the better forwards in training camp among the bottom-six, and he certainly earned his spot on the team to…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: First period struggles have looked different each game In all three games of the Flyers’ season-opening road trip, their performance in the first period has been lacking. Against the Kings, they were torched in terms of puck…
The 2016 NHL Draft is in nine days, and with the conclusion of the 2015-16 season on Sunday, the official draft order is set as we prepare for the Friday night in Buffalo. The Toronto Maple Leafs have the first pick, awarded to them after the Draft Lottery back in April. Auston Matthews is expected…
