Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Not much experimentation in this one Tuesday’s matchup with the New Jersey Devils was technically the first meaningless game of the season for the Flyers, but it didn’t truly have that vibe, considering the NHL debuts of…

From the perspective of a Flyers fan, the general story of their No. 2 overall pick (which they got after they moved up from No. 13 in the lottery) (boy, that’s still fun to type, isn’t it!) has been considered a pretty straightforward one. In a draft that’s largely considered to have two top talents…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Players felt they just got the bounces this time Following the game, the general consensus from the Flyers’ locker room was that the team’s performance against the Avalanche was not so different from the team’s play over…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: A rare display of 5v5 dominance Entering last night’s game against the Buffalo Sabres, the Flyers’ goal-based metrics at 5-on-5 were nothing short of horrid.

The Flyers finished their weekend back-to-back tonight with a 6-2 thumping of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Let’s talk about it! SO THE FLYERS ACTUALLY PLAYED WELL, HUH? They did! By basically any measure — goals, shots, good ol’ watching the game — the Flyers thoroughly controlled this game basically from the moment Matt Cullen opened the…
This season has been pretty dramatic for the Philadelphia Flyers, and that’s just on the ice. Let’s talk about off the ice. Specifically, let’s talk about this. Sister of #Flyers D Radko Gudas is pregnant. Father is gonna be #Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth. Congrats. #AllInTheFamily — Roman Jedlicka (@jedli) February 23, 2017 Whoa, okay. Michal…
