When the Flyers let a point slip away to Sabres on Thursday, a prescient Craig Berube said in his post game press conference “anybody can beat anybody in the league”. In almost shocking fashion, the Flyers would go on to completely show up the Nashville Predators, who hold the league’s best record and 5v5 numbers…
Full disclosure, I may nodded off at various points in this game. The scouting report on the Canes is “solid, defensive team” which is usually code for boring and uneventful hockey. They more than lived up to that billing keeping the Flyers to just nine scoring chances at evens. That being said, the Hurricanes didn’t…
Points are lost to time and divisional opponents. Must wins become losses. Optimism becomes realism. The Flyers lose and make me sad. This is how it’s always been. This is how it will always be. This is the song of my people. Seriously, this game sucked. I don’t know if it’s worth reading this recap….
Taking a couple steps away from irrelevancy with two truly impressive performances against good teams, one of which literally sits atop the entire league, the Flyers have had just enough success to drag us kicking and screaming back into the playoff hunt. Remember when we were talking about McDavid and Eichel? Thank you, Eastern Conference….
Lehigh Valley welcomes East Division opponent Binghamton to the PPL Center tonight for the final time in the regular season after six days off since its last contest. With nearly a week off since their 5-4 overtime loss to Hartford, the Phantoms have had time to work out some “fixable mistakes” that has plagued the…
I know I’m supposed to talk about how there are no moral victories and the Flyers have zero margin for error. Nobody wants to hear about process trumping results when you’re four points out of a playoff spot. But the Flyers are playing arguably their best hockey of the 2014-2015 season and that should not…
*Kimmo 🙁 [BSH] *Hextall spoke to the media about Timonen after the trade. [Flyers] *And then late last night, Braydon Coburn was traded to Tampa. Let the games begin! [BSH] *The Flyers beat the Rangers this weekend, after the Kimmo trade made it clear that this season is over, because of course they did. 14th…
Saturday’s game was 60 minutes of horrifyingly sloppy pond hockey. We’ve been harping on the Flyers much improved process of late, controlling the even strength chance battle and generally playing solid hockey despite some unlucky losses. Though entertaining from a fan’s perspective, this game was a departure from that process. The Flyers held their own…
ALLENTOWN— After dropping seven of his last 10 starts, we may have seen a new and improved Anthony Stolarz Saturday, as the rookie goaltender aided the Phantoms (25-22-6-1) to an important two points in their 3-2 OT win against Binghamton (22-26-6-1), and received a secondary assist on the game-winning overtime goal, for his first pro…
The Wells Fargo Center should start passing out orange rabbits’ feet to all the fans in attendance. For the umpteenth time in the last two weeks, the Flyers outplayed an inferior opponent only to come away with a loss. Outside of a mediocre first period, Philly dominated the game at even strength. In the final…
