7 p.m., Nassau ColiseumUniondale, New York, USATV: CSN, MSG+RADIO: 94 WIPISLES BLOG: Lighthouse Hockey (wow had some awful math here earlier. deleted like it never existed! look at that!) If the Philadelphia Flyers reach the 12:50 mark of the second period tonight against the New York Islanders without allowing a goal, and Ilya Bryzgalov remains…
It was just that kind of game. We can paint it any which way we want — maybe the Flyers should have started Ilya Bryzgalov, perhaps they were just tired after playing their fifth game in eight days. Sometimes it’s just not your night, and the Flyers win streak was snapped at five tonight in…

I was going to write something to go along with this video, but I quickly realized that there’s no point. You can just see the sadness in Lauren Pronger’s face as she talks about the concussion problems her husband Chris is going through, and words don’t really convey that. Just watch the video, via CSN…

Let’s get this out of the way: Applause is in order for Ilya Bryzgalov and his shutout streak, now a Flyers record. The goalie went 249 minutes, 43 seconds without allowing a goal, and that’s awesome. The Flyers won the game, 3-2, and that’s even better. But if the defense stayed tight in the third…
Scott Hartnell has a +/- of +18. Claude Giroux has a +/- of 0. Does anyone want to make the case that +/- is a valuable stat?
You know, when this happened live, I wasn’t exactly sure if it was a hit to the head. It only took one replay for me to realize how blatant a Rule 48 violation this was though. Steve Staios elbowed Max Talbot right in the face in the third period of tonight’s Flyers vs. Islanders game…

3 p.m. todayWells Fargo CenterTV: CSN Philly, NESNRADIO: 94 WIP Today’s game against the Boston Bruins has been circled on the calendar for the last month, it seems, following the 6-0 drubbing the B’s gave the Flyers on December 17. We figured all along that this game would be a sort of barometer; a test…
