We’re still a couple of days away from more Philadelphia Flyers hockey, as the team is presently on their bye week. And okay – things could have been going much better leading up to it. But hopefully the rest and relaxation will do them some good, right? What better place to rest and relax than…
As the Flyers prepare to take on an old rival for the second time this season, we briefly look back upon the long history of the Flyers-Devils rivalry. *** It was spring of 1982. E.T. was only weeks away from becoming one of the biggest blockbusters of all time, Ronald Reagan was in the White…
The Flyers participated in a hockey game this night, losing to the Devils 4-1. It was very much a zebra-puck game, with both teams getting ample power play time. The game really turned late in the second, with a questionable call against Radko Gudas and some questioning by Wayne Simmonds led to a 5-on-3 opportunity…
Last season, it was Brayden Schenn who received the one-game “send a message” scratching from head coach Dave Hakstol. This year, both Michael Raffl and Shayne Gostisbehere have gotten the same treatment as well. We can now add Travis Konecny to the ever-growing list. After the morning skate in San Jose today, Hakstol announced to…

Folks, the second round of the so called ‘yoffs’ start tonight, and even know the Flyers are no longer in the running for the Stanley Cup, we still have opinions on who will win. But before we get into who the second round winners are, let’s take a look at our first round predictions! In…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Why can’t the Flyers score? All of the Flyers’ current issues stem from this one, simple question. Since January 15th, Philadelphia has scored 16 goals in 12 games, on 354 shots. That’s a 4.52% shooting percentage in…
While Wayne Simmonds was named the MVP of Sunday’s All-Star Game, it turns out that the NHL decided that the Flyers’ winger should be recognized even further for his outstanding week. (Which, hey, I get it. I enjoy talking about Wayne Simmonds a lot, too.) Wayne Simmonds (@NHLFlyers), Patrick Marleau (@SanJoseSharks), Frederik Andersen (@MapleLeafs) named…
As somebody who has written about the Philadelphia Flyers regularly for nine years now, I sometimes feel like covering trade deadlines and drafts and free agency periods gives me a bout of whiplash. Consider what these events were like under Paul Holmgren. They were franchise-altering nearly every time, be it a trade for Chris Pronger,…
