The playoffs are here, and we cover them on this week’s edition of Broad Street Hockey Radio. To kick off the show, Geoff, Ben and I were joined by Steve Lepore. He writes the wonderful hockey media blog Puck The Media, which covers all things surrounding the coverage of the sport. Lepore is also a…
[Box Score] – [Wire Recap] – [SBN Game Page] – [Toronto Reaction] [Corsi and Fenwick] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [EV Faceoffs] – [Shift Charts] Holy Brian Boucher. With the Flyers up just one measly goal late in the third period, the pesky Leafs were swarming. The puck was thrown out in front, it bounced off…
Brian Boucher isn’t a world-class goaltender. He’s not better than Martin Brodeur by any stretch of the imagination, either. So how was it that the goalie affectionately known as Boooooosh effectively outclassed one of the best to ever play the position over the course of this five-game series? Look at the guys in front of…
I know, I know. That headline was way too easy. But…so was this series. Danny Briere scored the game winning goal all of 3:16 into the game, an extremely pretty French connection on a spinaround pass from Claude Giroux. Not content to let Briere have all the fun, Giroux added two goals of his own…
[Box Score] – [Wire Recap] – [SBN Game Page] – [New Jersey Reaction] [Corsi and Fenwick] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [EV Faceoffs] – [Shift Charts] Early on in the first period, Dan Carcillo embellished on a phantom high stick, a play that was so blatantly obvious that it immediately embarrassed all of us. By the…

There were bright spots, there were weak spots. There were hits, there were misses. There was discipline, there was restraint. There was Mike Richards’ leading…
The Flyers find themselves down two games to none and there are plenty of reasons for that. Each game had different reasons for the Flyers coming up short, but Game 2 was interesting in that all five goals were scored at even strength. In a growing trend, the previous game’s goats rebounded, but those who…

There has been a lot of talk these playoffs about how bad the Flyers third pairing has played. Just by watching the game, you have to be thinking Oskars Bartulis or Danny Syvret can’t be worse. So I try to answer that question. It’s a little tough to judge based on the playoffs, but here…
Perhaps you remember the 2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Ottawa Senators were taking on the Buffalo Sabres in the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday, May 29 of that year, the same day as the Preakness Stakes. The game went to overtime, at which point NBC execs decided to dump the broadcast to show an hour-plus…
