YEEEEAAAAH… With the Flyers on the golf course, and hopefully avoiding those pesky exploding clubs, Maddie Campbell joins the gang to discuss Lehigh Valley’s run in the AHL playoffs. Player grades for an upcoming piece on BroadStreetHockey.com and the Roenick/Carcillo Twitter beef are also broken down. Next week we’ll be doing a BSH Radio Mailbag…
*THE FLYERS’ ROOKIES ARE BEST FRIENDS. Warms the heart. Probably good for the hockey, too. [NBC Sports Philly] *For some reason, hockey folks in this town are very high on Cole Bardreau. Kid’s not bad, but there are players on the Phantoms I’d promote before him. [Courier-Post] *Speaking of Phantoms that should have a shot…
The AHL announced today that Lehigh Valley Phantoms forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel has been suspended three games as the result of an illegal check to the head. Aube-Kubel has already been suspended twice this season, and while there was a bit of a dispute regarding his second suspension, the decision to suspend him for this hit…
Well hello there, everybody! It’s Tuesday, we survived back to backs over the weekend, and the Phantoms are back at it again! They’ve traveled down for a stretch of games in Charlotte (that’s a hard “ch” in that pronunciation *cough* William), with the series tied at one a side, and Lehigh Valley was looking to…
*It’s time for Broad Street Hockey’s player grades for the 2017-2018 hockey season! First up, the ones who did the best.

*After landing the number two overall pick in the last draft, it’s easy to be, shall we say, less-than-impressed by holding #19 this season. But you can find some good stuff there. [NBC Sports Philly] *Speaking of the draft, we continue our look at the possible draftees in our draft profile series. Next up, Filip…
Last night the Phantoms broke the 1-1 series tie with a huge win and were able to reclaim home ice advantage. They are now just two wins away from their first trip to the Eastern Conference Final since 2005 – a year, well, let’s not even go there. Yet. 1. A strong start goes a…
*You may have heard, but the Alex Lyon and the Phantoms had themselves a very impressive Wednesday night. Here’s what we learned. [BSH] *So we know that Alex Lyon’s 94 saves was goddamned incredible, but where will in rank in the annals of history? [ProHockeyTalk] *Lyon might’ve blacked out at some point, which to be…
Oh my god. Did anyone else stay up for that game? If you didn’t I wouldn’t blame you. It was so. long. Like actually the longest in AHL history. Five overtimes. (And they won it, too!) I think in lieu of actual observations, we should use this time to draft notes of awe and appreciation…
After the Phantoms 5-1 win Tuesday night, the only lineup change was Tyrell Goulbourne out and Steven Swavely in. Goulbourne has been in and out of the lineup during the playoffs with a minor injury. Alex Lyon once again started in goal, starting in back to back games. Little did anybody know that we were…
