*It’s an off-day so let’s take a deep dive into Radko Gudas‘ unexpectedly great season. [BSH] *Ed Snider is not a young man, and the Flyers want to win for him while they still can. [Inquirer] *Ten things to take away from Wednesday’s awesome win against the Capitals. [BSH] *Speaking of Wednesday’s game, the Flyers…
Only one game on the schedule factored into the Flyers‘ playoff picture last night, and even that one had more to do with seeding than with the team’s chances at getting in. The mad dash to the finish line kicks into high gear tonight: of the six days remaining in the NHL regular season, five…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. For fifty-five minutes of regulation and then throughout the five-minute overtime session, last night’s game between the Washington Capitals and Philadelphia Flyers did not look like a matchup between the Presidents’ Trophy winner and a team scraping and…
We all know Claude Giroux is a really good hockey player. For one thing, he wouldn’t be in the NHL if he wasn’t. For another, he probably wouldn’t be the captain of an NHL team. Or be the Philadelphia Flyers‘ leading scorer. Or have 514 points over 568 games. So yeah, he’s good. But thanks…
Last night in scoreboard-watching wasn’t a particularly good one for the Flyers, as for the first time in a while every team that they were hoping to see lose actually went out and won. It’s a minor setback, but as we’ll see the Flyers are still in fairly good position relative to the other teams…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye.

The Red Wings…

Tonight is an extremely important game for the Philadelphia Flyers, in case you haven’t heard. The Flyers, Red Wings, and even Bruins are all neck-in-neck for the two final playoff spots in the Eastern Conference – so a match-up between two of said teams is huge. Naturally, all good-hearted people are cheering for the Flyers….
That sucked. What happened last night? The Flyers lost ugh who cares. (Wait, you do? Really. Huh. I guess that’s why you’re here, isn’t it? Feel free to read more about that game here.) The Bruins lost! That helped matters. They fell behind 6-0 to Chicago and put together a bit of a rally in…
*Another day off ahead of another round of back-to-back games because NHL scheduling is dumb. Bad news is the Flyers have lost Andrew MacDonald to injury. Good news? Medvedev! [BSH] *Also in the “good news” column: Nazem Kadri has been suspended for the remainder of the season so Thursday’s game against the Maple Leafs has…
