Kimmo Timonen is full of confidence after the Flyers‘ successful first round series and says that as long as the team keeps playing like they did in Game 7, it won’t matter what team they’ll be facing. “If we can play this kind of game that we just played, it’s going to be tough for…
Well that was a quick turnaround. Just two years ago, the Flyers traveled to Boston to take part in the NHL’s third Winter Classic. Now, Darren Dreger of TSN is reporting – with Wayne Fish claiming to confirm – that the NHL has chosen Philadelphia to host the New York Rangers in the fifth Winter…
When people argue in favor of hockey’s return to ESPN, the most potent argument they make is the exposure that such a move would bring. After years of toiling away on Versus, that channel that everybody in America thinks they might maybe have somewhere in the depths of their television, a move back to the…
Every NHL team has passed on Michael Leighton, even at half price, and as a result, he’s still property of the Philadelphia Flyers today, one day after being placed on re-entry waivers. He’ll be back in Philadelphia this afternoon and will be with the team for at least the remainder of the season and the…
Paul Holmgren talked about the draft on a conference call with reporters. I know, believe it or not, it wasn’t just silence for 20 minutes.

Via Sarah Baicker of CSN, some photos of Sergei Bobrovsky‘s new playoff head gear: Is this guy the coolest little Russian dude ever, or what?
The Inquirer is reporting that the Flyers lines tonight will be Hartnell-Briere-LeinoCarter-Giroux-Nodlvan Riemsdyk-Richards-VersteegCarcillo-Betts-Powe If that’s true, then the Flyers just have this one wrong. Find out why after the jump. First off, a primer on how I am looking at this. The metric I will use most is Corsi, which keeps track of whether a…
Dan Carcillo might never play for the Philadelphia Flyers again, as he’s an unrestricted restricted free agent this coming summer and he could easily be an odd man out here. If that’s what happens, he’ll be leaving town in a pretty familiar way: with a suspension. The NHL announced today that they’ve suspended Carcillo for…
