The Philadelphia Flyers play their Stadium Series game against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Heinz Field on Feb. 25, and they’re probably going to look pretty cool out there. Steve Mason, in particular, appears to be going all-in – at least, if the first look at his special pads are any occasion. Steve Mason’s pads for…
Flyers defenseman Andrew MacDonald, who is in the third year of a six-year, $30 million contract, has not had a particularly good 2016-17 season to date. We can argue about how not-good it has been, or what the causes of it are, but we’ll save that discussion for another time (for instance, almost any of…
Adidas is taking over for Reebok as the NHL’s jersey provider beginning next season, and for at least a year, that change will mean that teams will only have two uniforms. Adidas will not create third jerseys for the Flyers or any other NHL team in 2017-18. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported the news this morning,…
Oh hey, remember hockey? It was that sport that you liked once upon a time, back before some jolly dude dressed in red committed home invasion against billions of people this past weekend. The world is obviously reeling from this brazen crime spree, but have no fear — sports are a distraction from the difficulties…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Classic low-event Devils hockey game Ever since the mid 90s, the New Jersey Devils have owned the same, distinct identity.

This, of course, is…
Hey, remember Michal Neuvirth? He’s a goaltender for the Philadelphia Flyers, and he’s back from injury. Neuvirth will be back on the bench, backing up Steve Mason on Wednesday night when the Flyers host the New York Rangers at the Wells Fargo Center. Neuvirth went down with a knee injury on November 13 and was…

For some reason, talks of a ghost bear have taken over the general Philadelphia area. This has been going on for roughly a year now. Can’t for the life of me figure out why. In a completely unrelated story, Shayne Gostisbehere is on pace for 41 points this season, and is currently the highest scoring…
