Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. Yesterday’s loss was particularly difficult to swallow because of the degree of domination that the Flyers exhibited from the conclusion of Wayne Simmonds‘ major penalty through the end of the second period. Philadelphia was executing its neutral zone…
Flyers prospect Ivan Provorov was named the player of the week in the Western Hockey League on Monday.

Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. During the first two months of the regular season, the Flyers simply could not find the back of the net.
