If you’re not familiar with the Mannequin Challenge, it’s basically this: a group of people stand stock still while someone with a camera runs around recording them. Basically, the goal is to hold a pose like a mannequin. If you’re not familiar with the Philadelphia Eagles, I can’t really help you there. The Philadelphia Flyers…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: A game where both teams deserved a point In recent weeks, the Flyers have lost a number of games where they outplayed the opposition in terms of raw shots on goal and overall even strength play-driving metrics….
I’m not going to mince words here: the Flyers game against the Buffalo Sabres was incredibly stupid.

Coming at the…
IT WAS early April, 2015. It’s five hours before the trade deadline and you’re talking about 2015???? Oh, wait. I get it. You wrote about this two years ago and doubling down on the insanity now.
