*We’re back at this thing again tonight, folks. This time it’s the Devils. Who like likely be without Nico Hischier, presumably because they know Nolan’s Better. Anyhoo, before we move on, let’s look at what we learned from Tuesday’s streak-snapping loss. [BSH] *Some good news for tonight’s game: looks like James van Riemsdyk is a…
Fourteen shots on goal through 40 minutes. A total of twenty-two shot attempts that missed the net, and another 21 shots blocked in the game. Tuesday night’s 2-1 loss to the Florida Panthers was not the worst game the Flyers played all year, but they just weren’t able to get enough going offensively, failing to…
With the off-season departure of Valtteri Filppula, one of the bigger questions surrounding the Philadelphia Flyers heading into training camp was who would be filling the now-vacated role of third line center. With a mix of both veteran and rookie skaters vying for the spot, a strong showing from Mikhail Vorobyev throughout the preseason had…
*The Flyers hit like 268 posts last night, the power play wasn’t good, Brian Elliott got hurt, and the Flyers lost. Not great, Bob! Recap! *You know, perhaps the best thing about JVR being back is that some of those stupid shots from the outside might actually go in! [NBC Sports Philly] *The Flyers have…
*If we’ve got to wait three entire days between games then I think we’ve earned a little wild trade speculation. [BSH] *Have you been wondering how John Boruk ranks the recent performance of your favorite Flyers players? No? Well here it is anyway. [NBC Sports Philly] *Would you describe the Flyers in their current state…
*So the Flyers played some exciting hockey Saturday, but only because they dug themselves a big hole that was four goals deep, which they dug themselves out of after deciding to actually play some good hockey with ten minutes left. Only to lose in OT. But it was a fun ten minutes, eh? RECAP! *It’s…
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: The Philadelphia Flyers were unable to score a goal against the New Jersey Devils. It looked like Shayne Gostisbehere lit the lamp to tie the game at one in the first period, but incidental contact by a returning James van Riemsdyk against Keith Kinkaid nullified the tally, and…
Another weekend, another Saturday afternoon game, this time with the Tampa Bay Lightning coming in to town for the 1pm tilt. The Bolts will be without their Vezina-caliber starting goaltender, Andrei Vasilevskiy, who is out 4-6 with a fracture so the Flyers will be testing their backup, Louis Domingue. That said, the Lightning are coming…
*Ahh, its finally game day. That break felt pretty long. The Flyers are up in Buffalo tonight to take on the streakingly-hot Sabres and it looks like we’re getting Alex Lyon! Party time! [Philly.com] *Twenty games seems like a good benchmark for passing some judgments. And so we’ve done just that, first diving into the…
Ah, the chill of late November air. The Flyers are now 20 games into the 2018-2019 season and, with a record of 9-9-2, sit ninth in the Eastern Conference, sixth in the Metropolitan Division.
