PHILADELPHIA — Paul Holmgren talked to the media after the first period of tonight’s game against the Atlanta Thrashers. He updated Chris Pronger‘s status. UPDATE: Nothing new. He’s still day-to-day with hurt feelings, or whatever he likes to say. Full transcript, courtesy of the Flyers PR department, after the jump. Q: Can you give us…
3 — Number of times the Flyers have been shut out in Dallas. The Flyers are 2W-5L-3T in Dallas, their worst record in any city. The first of these three shutouts came in the Flyers’ first trip to Dallas, an 8-0 shellacking on January 6, 1994. Future HOFers Dominic Roussel and Tommy Soderstrom combined to…
8-1 — The Flyers‘ record under Peter Laviolette in potentially series-ending playoff games. John Stevens’ record was 4-4.
The Barry Ashbee Trophy is awarded annually to “the most outstanding Flyers defenseman, as selected by a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.” Here at BSH, we’ve been honored with the privilege of sitting on that panel this year, because apparently somebody considers us worthy. It’s a hell of an honor and something that’s extremely cool…
Despite being a healthy scratch more often than he probably expected this season, Nikolay Zherdev says that he still hasn’t regretted signing with the Flyers. “Even before I signed with Atlant in the KHL last year, I always wanted to stay in the NHL.

Yesterday at practice in Voorhees, Jody Shelley took a puck off the face. He stormed off the ice, furious, into the locker room. That’s the last time he’ll see practice or game action for some time, it turns out, as the Flyers announced this morning that he’ll need surgery to fix the orbital bone around…
He received around 12 offers from NHL teams, but in the end, the 2011 Ivy League Player of the Year decided that Philadelphia was the right fit for him. Brown University forward Harry Zolnierczyk signed a one-year deal with the organization Monday night, according to the team. He’ll play with the Adirondack Phantoms the rest…
The Flyers have updated Chris Pronger‘s status after practice today, and according to the team, he’s listed as a game-time decision for Thursday’s Game 1 against the Buffalo Sabres. This could really go one of two ways. I worry about the idea that Pronger, of all people, wouldn’t be ready to go for a playoff…
In case you missed it, we took a trip to upstate New York over the weekend to visit the Phantoms, who won both games against two good teams while we were in town. We learned a lot about the team, the city, the players and the Flyers organization as a whole on the trip, and…
