It’s been a fun first couple of weeks in the NHL, and even in this early part of the season the McDavid-Matthews debate is one worth having. The gang also takes a hard look at the league’s only remaining undefeated team, the New Jersey Devils, to try and figure out if they’re actually this good….
*So that Saturday afternoon game was actually fun, huh? I think we’d forgotten a bit that hockey can be fun. Here’s hoping it continues! Anyhoo, here’s what we learned from a full 60-minute effort. [BSH] *It was a hell of a game for Jake Voracek, who, to be honest, needed to have a hell of…
I just… I… ugh. I’m trying my absolute hardest not to overreact to the absolute slop that has been these first seven games. After all, there are still 75 left to play. But how long can this continue? How many times can this team, filled with some pretty good players, look like they don’t belong…
Steve and Craig talk about the Flyers’ defense, Calvin Pickard, and living in The Corban Knight Era. The two also talk about what a chill, cool guy Dave Hakstol is off the ice. This is fine. Everything is fine. Make sure to follow us on twitter @Flyperbole and @Sports_Are_Bad. Also follow @BSH_Radioand don’t forget to…
The Philadelphia Flyers lost to the Colorado Avalanche 4-1 on Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center, and that is nothing new for the Flyers in front of their paying customers. In the last eight meaningful home games in South Philly, the Flyers are 2-6-0. Their pair of wins saw them blow a three-goal lead…
*Right? Seems like they tried. Anyhoo. Raffl got hurt. The Flyers lost. Recap. *Scott Laughton had another good game last night as he continues to be one of the few consistently bright spots in this lineup thus far. [Philly.com] *So after saying he’d never break up his top pairing of Shayne Gostisbehere and Ivan Provorov,…
*I will not apologize for that awful headline. *We’ve got a game tonight against a team with a ridiculously good top line so this should go really well under the circumstances. Anyhoo, here’s Ron talking about lineup stuff and somehow telling us that the PK looks better. Everything is fine. [Flyers] *This feels relevant: DGB…
The offense is bad, the defense is bad. The special teams is bad. Don’t even get us started on the goaltending. The gang talks about the future of the Philadelphia Flyers and how their disappointing start is shaping their feeling on not only the coach but the general manager’s philosophy in a year that the…
*The hits just keep on coming! Looks like the injury that took Michael Raffl out on Monday was a bad one; we’ll be without his services for 4-6 weeks. Will be interesting to see who replaces him (it will 100% be Corban Knight). [Flyers] *So, what might Ron Hextall do with this opening? [BSH] *It…
Last night Michal Neuvirth made his Lehigh Valley Phantoms debut, and did so in a winning fashion. The oft-injured Neuvirth was assigned to the AHL on a conditioning stint and told Inside AHL Hockey following the game that he would be joining the team in Boston ahead of tomorrow night’s match up with the Bruins….
