From today’s Philadelphia Daily News: After sitting out for a game and a practice over the last week, Ville Leino’s lower-body condition was starting to raise red flags. A team source told the Daily News that Leino is struggling with an injury to his surgically repaired hip; he was sustained on Feb. 15 in Tampa…
If you had to pick one of the guys in the photo to be named to the All-Star Game this year, which would you pick? Danny Briere‘s been the team’s offensive leader all season long, but he’s not going to Raleigh at the end of the month. Claude Giroux, deserving as he is, will be…
It’s been exactly one month since Matt Walker went down with the second of two hip injuries on the year. One month. 31 days to be precise. When that injury was announced on December 13, we were told that recovery would take about six weeks. That would be two weeks less than his recovery has…
Here’s a quick roundup of news as we head in to tonight’s ceremony for Rod Brind’Amour. If you live under a rock, the Carolina Hurricanes will retire his No. 17 tonight, and it’s pretty awesome that they waited until the Flyers were in town to do it. – For starters, I highly recommend this feature…
[Box Score] – [Wire Recap] – [SBN Game Page] – [New Jersey Reaction] [Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] After three days off and another sluggish start, the Flyers rebounded from two deficits to beat the lowly New Jersey Devils by a 4-2 score. Early on, it seemed like…
From Frank Seravalli of the Daily News: A team source told the Daily News yesterday that Leighton, who has yet to appear in a Flyers uniform since Patrick Kane clinched the Stanley Cup for Chicago in overtime of Game 6 on June 9 (Ed. Note: WHY MUST YOU BRING THAT UP FRANK), will start in…
The Flyers have recalled defenseman Danny Syvret from the Adirondack Phantoms. He’ll likely be in New Jersey tonight, but he’s just there for extra help. Don’t expect him to enter the lineup. It’s more than likely that Syvret will just stick around a few games as a seventh defenseman, just as Erik Gustafsson did for…
The Flyers have recalled Ben Holmstrom from the Adirondack Phantoms, and I’m assuming this has something to do with the fact that James van Riemsdyk has a little injury and Dan Carcillo is sick. Who knows if he’ll play tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs (tickets available), but if he does, the Flyers say he’ll…
Could the Winter Classic be coming to Philadelphia? Yes. At some point, there will be an outdoor hockey game in Philadelphia. Big market team, rabid fanbase, hockey town, Northeast market. It’s only a matter of when there will be a Winter Classic in Philadelphia. Surely, though, since the Flyers played in the game just a…
Waivers to waivers, dust to dust.A year (and two weeks) after we waived “hello” to Michael Leighton, we now waive “goodbye.”And what a wild year (and two weeks) it’s been. The Flyers claimed Leighton from Carolina from the waiver wire on December 15th, 2009, with Leighton playing his his first game eight days later on…
