6: The number of Philadelphia Flyers players who choose not to wear visors on their helmets. The list includes Matt Walker, Andreas Lilja, Max Talbot, Jody Shelley, Wayne Simmonds and yes, Chris Pronger. We’re assuming this number will drop to five pretty soon. And if I had my way, it would drop to zero immediately….
If you’re not a season ticket holder, it’s not going to be easy to get 2012 Winter Classic tickets. It looks as though you’re either going to wind up paying an arm and a leg on StubHub or some other third-party site or you’re not going to be buying tickets, considering the Flyers aren’t anticipating…
Bunch of roster moves today. Lots going on, but we’ll get through this all together. *deep breath* According to the various beat writers at practice this morning in Voorhees, Chris Pronger has been placed on injured reserve retroactive to a week ago when he took that puck to the eye. It’s the seven-day IR, so…
We know that Paul Holmgren and the Philadelphia Flyers are indeed working the phones, trying to see what’s out there when it comes to the trade market for defensemen. We don’t have first-hand knowledge of this, but Darren Dreger and Pierre LeBrun of TSN do, and they’re the best in the business when it comes…

28: The number of times DOOP has played at the Wells Fargo Center following a Philadelphia Flyers goal this regular season. The song debuted as the Flyers goal song at the request of Danny Briere a year ago, replacing Pennywise’s Bro Hymn. There’s been quite the mixed reaction to it since. As I’m sure you…
[Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] PHILADELPHIA — I’ll tell you what. About halfway through tonight’s Flyers vs. Hurricanes game at the WFC, I caught myself starting to doze off. And I was in the building. It was just a boring hockey game, despite the fact that I was…
[Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] There were a lot of questions prior to today’s game vs. the New York Rangers on Peter Laviolette’s decision to start Sergei Bobrovsky for the second straight day. When it came down to it, Bob didn’t disappoint, making 30 stops and keeping the…

One of our persistent concerns with Sam Carchidi’s tweets has been that too often they involve off-the-cuff opinions, yet his standing as beat writer for the Inquirer gives them a greater perceived authority than they deserve. We’ve mostly focused on how this relates to opinion-based questions — such as guessing how many points Jaromir Jagr…
