My internet was out for most of the night this evening, meaning I didn’t read much about tonight’s Game 1 while the action was going on. I checked in on Twitter a few times, but you don’t get much opinion out of 140 character long messages. Nothing that makes you think too hard, at least….
It really speaks volumes about the way the Philadelphia Flyers are perceived around the NHL, doesn’t it? If they were to pull off the antics that the Boston Bruins pulled out on Monday night, all hell would’ve broken loose in the hockey media. All the stories this morning would be about those dirty Flyers who…
After Game One, Scott Hartnell couldn’t do much worse. And he didn’t. He actually had a good game. There were a lot of power plays yesterday, which contributed to a lot of the low scores. While the official shot totals saw the Devils out-shoot the Flyers 32-29, those totals fell to 24-18 at even strength….

By the…
If the Flyers win tonight in regulation, everything stops. We clinch. The Bruins will clinch. The Canadiens will clinch. The Rangers season will abruptly finish. Here’s how it all breaks down. If the Flyers beat NYR (in regulation or OT/SO), they clinch. They would also seal the deal for Montreal and Boston, because the Rangers…

With the Stanley Cup Finals now a best-of-three series, now seems as good a time as any to update the files I created on how they got there. As always, these numbers are available courtesy of the great Vic Ferrari and posted after every game. Since he doesn’t compile them on his site, I’ve taken…
The news came out yesterday that the Flyers have signed — well, they “have an agreement” — yet another goaltender. This time, it’s Russian prospect Sergei Bobrovsky, and when the Philadelphia Flyers are going out and getting a Russian prospect, you know they’re really pulling out all the stops. But who is Sergei Bobrovsky? Besides…
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…
