Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. This recent losing streak definitely has a different feel to it than the disastrous west coast road trip. In those games, the Flyers were totally outclassed, bleeding shots and scoring chances against. Over the past three games,…
*WELL the Flyers played a hockey game on Saturday night and they did not play it well. It was not fun to watch. Recap. *In addition to losing the game, the Flyers also lost Scott Laughton, who took an absolutely brutal hit to the head. [Sons of Penn] *Charlie’s got ten things we learned from…
Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. It looked ugly for the Philadelphia Flyers early in the first period. The San Jose Sharks under Todd McLellan were one of the league’s best dump-and-chase, forechecking squads, and they’ve retained that to an extent under new…
Hands up, who’s following the Brandon Wheat Kings this year? They’re currently second in the WHL’s East Division, and third in the Eastern Conference. They’re fifth in the overall league. In short: they’re doing pretty well. And their 6-2 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers last night certainly helped. You know who helped get that…

[Philly.com] *Thankfully, it would appear that the “Shayne Gostisbehere is expendable” chatter…
*The San Jose Sharks are in town tonight. 7PM start. Hopefully the Flyers build off of Tuesday’s fun exciting loss. *Despite losing to the Kings the Flyers definitely seemed to find some sort of rhythm during the game. [Courier-Post] *Charlie’s got ten things to learn from that Kings game. Most of them are good woo!…

Of course it was, and not just because it snapped a three-game losing streak for the Philadelphia Flyers, or the second goal of his very young career. Nope, it was also because it was an overtime winner, and those are always awesome. This is a…
No confirmation on this from the Flyers or the Phantoms, but there’s no reason not to believe John Buccigross. .@ColinMcDonald13 called up by Flyers. Good luck!
