A rough day for the Flyers on Saturday, who got a little help elsewhere but are unquestionably worse off today due to a loss of their own out in the desert. Let’s see how the playoff picture looks heading into today’s games. What happened last night? The Flyers lost. It was bad. Detroit lost, as…
Rooting for other teams to lose in the name of your team’s chances at a playoff spot is a stressful exercise a lot of nights. Lord knows we already spend enough energy 82 times a year worrying about our Flyers, so while it’s just the cost of rooting for a bubble team, nights like the…
FOLKS I HAVE TO SAY I AM STILL PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT LAST NIGHT’S HOCKEY OUTING BOY WAS THAT SOMETHING OR WHAT And of course, beyond the general heroics of Shayne Gostisbehere and Claude Giroux teaming up to give the Flyers a win with 13 seconds left in the game, the Flyers’ win last night over…

Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. Following Sean Couturier’s goal with nine minutes left in the second period that gave Philadelphia a 2-0 lead, the Senators peppered Steve Mason with ten shots on goal while the Flyers could muster just one.
