Around we go on the goalie carousel Rob Zepp was injured for the Phantoms in the third period of Saturday night’s game. Steve Mason suffered another lower-body injury during the second period of Sunday’s afternoon game in Washington. The goalie carousel is moving fast as Anthony Stolarz was recalled by the Flyers as the only…
A lot is being made of the horribly lopsided shot attempts (90-44!!! in favor of Montreal) in this game and rightfully so. But the chance counts aren’t quite as dramatic, with the Habs just barely out-chancing the Flyers at even strength 15-14. Those much more palatable numbers belie an anemic final 40 minutes in which…
3: Number of power play goals the Canadiens scored against the Flyers on November 15, 2014 — the last time these two teams faced each other in Montreal. 3 power play goals in a game on only 4 calls against is not very good. Some may consider that to be very bad. Whatever the case,…
*Woo a win! In regulation! And against a quality team like the Sabres! Recap! *So the Flyers lost to the Blue Jackets Friday but still managed to get a point. They really are losing in the most infuriating way at this point. Recap. *The nerd report from Friday’s game shows that the biggest problem may…
When pushing to make the playoffs, it’s probably a good idea to start playing your best hockey of the year. Despite rattling off an 8 game point streak thanks to the Bettman loser point, the Flyers have done the exact opposite. In the last handful of games their even strength play has cratered. Outside of…
Here’s the report from Global Calgary: The two share the exact same birthday, but Taylor Sanheim is a touch behind Travis Sanheim in his hockey career. He’s a rookie WHL player this season, and not a defenseman like his brother. He plays left wing, and so far in 27 WHL games with the Hitmen, here…
*Hey it’s the Blue Jackets again tonight. Cool. Preview later today. Puck drops at 7. *The Flyers are five points back from a playoff spot. Do we turn on the optimism now? [BSH] *It was this maddeningly “successful” road trip that brought the playoff hopes back to life. [CSN Philly] *Anthony Stolarz, we hardly knew…
If you were expected the Flyers to mop the floor with the Buffalo Sabres and rekindle their offensive confidence, you were sorely disappointed on Sunday night. A lackluster performance up and down the lineup (with a few exceptions) allowed the Sabres to control significant portions of the game. For most of the night, the Flyers…
*The Flyers are pretty good at beating the Sabres because the Sabres are pretty bad at hockey. That may continue tonight. Puck won’t drop until around 8PM because of the Eric Desjardins ceremony. Preview the game here. *Let’s look back on Desjardins’ time in Philly ahead of his induction into the Flyers’ Hall. [Flyers] *Meltzer…
After almost two weeks of taunting the hockey gods, the Flyers finally got their comeuppance on Tuesday. By every right, the Flyers should have won this game handily. For the most part, the right process was there. They dominated in the chance and shot counts, doubling up Columbus at even strength and putting up bushels…
