Preview to follow! *Speaking of Buffalo, USA Hockey is set to make a “significant announcement” today at the First Niagara Center at 11AM. No one knows what it is. [Die…
Slow starts don’t mean anything, apparently. For the ninth time this season, the Flyers have come from behind and won, tying a franchise record. I don’t know why, but they somehow manage to get things done. It’s infuriating at times, and it’s blatantly un-fun others, but hell if it isn’t full of drama. This game…
Is it possible that the New York Islanders are no longer content to be the whipping boys of the division? Is it possible that the Islanders are emerging as some sort of threat?

If you’re a glutton for punishment, take a look at RedWire’s scoring chance summary for the game. It’s not pretty. *Jakub Voracek‘s recent hand injury is making stick…
Remember when things were falling in the Flyers favor, despite the fact that it didn’t feel like they should be falling in their favor? No worries about that anymore. In their last seven, the Flyers have gone 2-3-2. Ew. Yeah, the Flyers have fallen back down to Earth and it’s been significantly less fun. Turns…
