There’s a pretty good article in today’s Vancouver Province about the Flyers, the challenges they face as an Eastern Conference contender, and Mike Richards‘ thoughts on the team. “This is the best team I’ve played on,” is just a taste. One little piece of the article caught me off guard and made me think a…
[Boxscore] – [Wire Recap] – [SBN Game Page] – [Tampa Bay Reaction] [Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] PHILADELPHIA — I’ve been trying to think of how to start this game recap for about three hours now.

After a promising first season on the Phantoms last year, Joonas Lehtivuori seemed to struggle this season. Many were surprised to see one of the best defensemen on the team to become a healthy scratch relatively quickly. Lehtivuori offers a few reasons for the downhill. “We had ten rookies on the team at best. We…
