Just a quick note worth throwing out there, in case you missed it today. Chris Pronger is still officially listed as day-to-day, and while he’s skating with the team again (finally), he still not ready to return to the lineup for Game 4 on Wednesday. Tim Panaccio reported that on Twitter. There’s no doubt that…
In the last day or two, I’ve been posting some of the findings from the with-or-without-you scripts I put together to look at how pairs of players perform together. Yesterday I questioned the reported lines and in particular the reported decision to put Nodl with Carter and Giroux. Nodl didn’t end up playing on that…
We’ve done this sort of thing before, but this time we’re all looking for reasons to the Flyers slump. So we’ll enlarge the sample and look at the Flyers play since February 13th, when they’ve gone 10-10-6. No intro, no fluff, no cuddling. Just raw numbers. Player GP GF GA Sh% Sv% Fen% Corsi% Hartnell…
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…
Sorry it took so long for us to get an initial story up on the Ilya Bryzgalov trade tonight. Here I am thinking I can take a nice summer night off and enjoy the Phillies game, but then Paul Holmgren had to go and do this… anyway, thanks to Ben for taking care of business,…
The Sabres have been a different team in 2011 than the one that played in 2010, and since the late-February trade deadline, that contrast has been even more clear. A large part of that success has been thanks to the acquisition of Brad Boyes, who came to Buffalo via a trade with St. Louis at…
It was weird on Sunday when Ville Leino was benched in the third period. Sure, he didn’t play great in the early part of the game, but with Danny Briere out of the lineup and Blair Betts gone midway through the game with an injury, you wouldn’t expect Peter Laviolette to shorten his bench. As…
The end of the season is here, and on this week’s BSH Radio, we try to make sense of everything that went wrong. From the goaltending to the offense to the defense to Peter Laviolette to everything in between, there’s plenty to talk about this week. Unfortunately, we also spend a good deal of the…
New feature time! Thanks to the awesomeness of Todd, New Zealand’s biggest Flyers fan, we’re now going to have scoring chances data for our team. You’ve likely seen this stuff at other SB Nation hockey blogs, including Blueshirt Banter, Litter Box Cats and The Copper & Blue. Now, Broad Street Hockey joins the club. You’ve…
Brian Boucher Sergei Bobrovsky Johan Backlund Michael Leighton This is an updated look at your Philadelphia Flyers depth chart at the goaltending position. Sergei Bobrovsky will apparently replace Michael Leighton as the backup tonight, according to reports from the morning skate, while Johan Backlund looks to be the third goaltender according to Tim Panaccio’s mob…
