I don’t know exactly when the Flyers got rid of Coatesy’s Corner on CSN broadcasts. Wikipedia says that it ended at some point during the 2011 season and was slowly phased out that year. That seems right, but my memory is a little fuzzy on it. In any event, COATESY’S CORNER BACK. And yes, there’s…
Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. The Flyers may have been losing 1-0 at the end of the first period, but this game was lost in the opening ten minutes of the second. They were down after twenty minutes primarily due to a…
An almost-daily column that takes a look back at how the Philadelphia Flyers have fared on this day, recalling some of the more memorable moments, achievements, and events that shaped the organization throughout the club’s storied history After being blown out by the Chicago Blackhawks in their initial November 11 contest in 1970, the Flyers…
*The Flyers are back at home tonight woo! The Avalanche slide into town (get it?!) tonight, puck drops at 7PM. *The Flyers might be messy in a lot of places but one place they are decidedly not messy is in net. [Flyers] *Don’t let that fool you into thinking there is some kind of goalie…
With Steve Mason feeling under the weather, the Flyers needed another body in net. Fortunately for them, Calgary has a second hockey team – one they aren’t competing against tonight – so they were able to call on the Hitmen. It wasn’t the Hitmen the Flyers are most familiar with, though; Travis Sanheim and Radel…
Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. It’s time to kill the “Flyers only play well against top teams” narrative. Washington is undoubtedly a great squad, possessing both high-end talent and depth throughout the roster. Last night, Philadelphia was not even close to their…
By all accounts, following a very poor set of games that culminated with a shutout loss to the Colorado Avalanche, the Flyers had a gruelling practice. There was some light at the end of that tunnel, though, as at the end the team welcomed Liam Idzi – who has cerebral palsy – and his family…
Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. Throughout the Flyers‘ six-game losing streak, the team’s power play was not struggling to create chances – they just couldn’t bury their high-quality opportunities. Their shot and chance generation metrics barely dipped from early in the season,…
Fun first NBA game! Even better with those seats! #76ers #SixersvsBulls pic.twitter.com/sB4jQdniI7 — Pierre-E Bellemare (@bellsy78) November 10, 2015 Those are some pretty good seats! I mean, okay, the 76ers aren’t doing particularly well – and they did not do particularly well last night – but hey, the NBA is the NBA, and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare…
This season the Vancouver Canucks had a brilliant idea to give their players the chance to pick individualized goal songs. That’s right. For every player on the team, there is a separate, personalized goal song. What. A. Game-changer. The Flyers have had some solid goal songs in the past (and some not so solid ones),…
