Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. It was noted by a few of the beat writers that the Flyers have only played three bad games since the start of March — March 4 against the Edmonton Oilers, March 19 against Pittsburgh, and then Sunday…
Wednesday night’s loss in Detroit wasn’t the end of the world. The Flyers still control their own chances, as five points in their last six games would get them into the playoffs no matter what happens elsewhere, and if Detroit or Boston slip up a little bit in their final games, their chances grow even…
Despite entering the postseason via a wild card position, the Philadelphia Flyers will face a familiar foe starting on Thursday night. The fellow Metropolitan Division-dwelling Washington Capitals ran away with the Presidents’ Trophy for best record in the NHL, and the division title along with it. In the Flyers’ four matchups against the Capitals this…
*It seems appropriate to just spend today remembering the man that gave all of us the thing we love so much. So please enjoy these links to stories about Mr. Snider and proof that he’s left a legacy that the City of Philadelphia – and the hockey world as a whole – will never forget….
Wayne Simmonds did not score a hat trick this season.

In fact, the Flyers and Capitals have faced off on four separate occasions during the 2015-16 regular season. Now, Philadelphia and Washington will battle at least four additional times this season….
For the second straight day, we open up this post with an acknowledgement that the Flyers wasted a golden opportunity last night. Against the worst team in the NHL, this late in the season, it’s a situation in which you just really, really need two points. The Flyers didn’t get two points, and that is…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. The go-to excuse for the Flyers‘ stretch of 0-2-1 play this week seems to be that the team is physically and emotionally spent, a victim of a two-month long push towards the postseason combined with a particularly demanding…
For the first time since April 30, 2014, the Philadelphia Flyers will hit the ice tonight for a playoff game.
