Before this past Monday, the last episode of BSH Radio was recorded on Wednesday the 16th. Since then, the Flyers have played two games, scratched their best defenseman, and have generally had a pretty eventful few days. So we’re here to talk about it! Travis and I were lucky enough to be in town to…
The Flyers were shut out today, for what was the first time this NHL season. One game after playing some uninspiring defense and winning largely thanks to a significant goaltending advantage, the Flyers were undone by a goaltending advantage for the other team. Andrei Vasilevskiy, who is really good, stopped all 32 shots he faced…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: The Flyers truly dealt with bad luck in this one The word “luck” probably gets thrown around a bit too much in the hockey stat-based community to explain outcomes that don’t match up with the underlying metrics….
We knew of two roster moves the Flyers made on Tuesday: one that activated goalie Michal Neuvirth from injured reserve, and another that sent goalie Anthony Stolarz to the Phantoms to make room on the active roster for Neuvy. But those two moves put the Flyers over the salary cap by about $119,000, and thus…
Wayne Simmonds now has 10 goals on the season. It took him 20 games to get there, and we knew it was going to happen, because Simmonds is a goal scorer. He has the most for the Philadelphia Flyers, after all. Next in line is Jakub Voracek with seven. But of course, this isn’t anything…
For the love of God, please tell me that you didn’t fall that thing that the stoner kid from junior year of high school posted on Facebook? Because all of these other clowns did: It was from NHLTradeRumors.me, for eff’s sake. They can’t even afford a .com domain name, and you think they’re plugged into…
It’s been a stressful past couple of weeks in the wide world of the Philadelphia Flyers. The team is losing games it should be winning. The coach is making lineup decisions that the fan base hates. The goalies can’t string consecutive good games together. The top guys aren’t producing the way they probably should be….
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: A “Flyers special” and the formula worked So far this year, the Flyers have delivered extreme statistical performances when looking at key metrics. They haven’t just driven play at 5v5 — they’ve been up there with elite…
The Flyers haven’t played a Metropolitan Division team since November 25, when they lost to the Rangers on Black Friday. But they’ll finally hit the ice against a literal rival on Wednesday night when they host the Washington Capitals. It’s a national game so it’s an 8 p.m. start time, and the game will be…
Let’s talk about Jakub Voracek. He has seven goals and 17 points through 19 games this season; also, as of Nov. 17, he has a son. We’ve known for a couple of months now he was going to be a dad, but it’s all the more incredible when it actually happens, you know? Voracek does…
