In the third period of Friday night’s 1-0 win in Game 5 of the Flyers’ first-round series against the Capitals, Flyers winger Jakub Voracek played a puck up the ice along the wall and was immediately shoved into the boards by Capitals winger Jason Chimera. Voracek remained down for a couple of seconds before making…
On the one hand, it’s pretty crazy that we’re even here talking about this game that’s going to happen today. The Flyers trailed this series 3-0 as recently as 96 hours ago, on the heels of a brutal loss that left this entire team and fanbase with a bitter taste in its mouth for a…
*Well folks, here we are. Avoiding being swept is always nice, so let’s hope for it. At the very least, let’s hope for something all-around better than what we saw on Monday. Go Flyers. *The Flyers are embarrassed over what their fans did Monday night. Great job, people. [Inquirer] *Charlie brings you ten things we…

When you’re a hockey player with a spring birthday, there’s no guarantee you’ll ever get to play on your day. After all, not everyone gets to play in the spring – and even if you’re on one of the teams that makes it into the playoffs, there’s no guarantee there’s going to be a game…
*Did more than they should have and we had a fun little ride. Going to be a fun year next year. Recap. *If you were at the game yesterday you were lucky enough to score this gem of a giveaway tee shirt. [BSH] *Some good news: Sean Couturier was skating yesterday. [Sons of Penn] *Also,…
