The NHL All-Star Break is time for the players to relax. It’s a long, grinding 82-game season, after all, and by late January, teams are approaching 50 games. That’s a lot – and so, the perfect time for a break. Some players, like Claude Giroux, still have a show to put on. Then there’s everybody…
… That picture is peak Michael Del Zotto, isn’t it? Looking like a total bro, in Mexico, and repping the Philadelphia Flyers, as one does when they’re on vacation wherever they go. Seriously, let’s look at him again: Representing the fly guys in Mexico. A photo posted by Michael Del Zotto (@mdzofficial) on Jan 28,…
Apparently, Michael Del Zotto is now interviewing his fellow Flyers teammates in a locker room stall in a new segment called “Stall Talk”.

Travis Sanheim and Ivan Provorov are arguably the two most exciting prospects the Flyers have outside of the professional ranks of hockey, and fans have been following their respective exploits in the WHL all year long.

Going into tonight’s contest, the Nashville Predators had only allowed five goals in their last five games. Against the Flyers, they allowed six, which is more than five. And in four less games. That is very impressive. To open up this game, the Flyers quickly realized they needed to be sharp through the neutral zone…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. The Flyers won their final game before the All-Star break thanks largely to a superb effort by Jakub Voracek, who was excellent throughout that game before winning it in overtime. A week has come and gone since that…
*The Flyers played the Caps yesterday and lost, but the Caps are really good,and it was close, so that’s something…in case you missed it, RECAP! *The Flyers also played the Rangers on Saturday in what was an almost-good shootout loss.
