The fine folks at CSN Mid-Atlantic had me in to talk about Game 5 tonight. See myself, former Flyers beat writer and current Caps writer Chuck Gormley, and CSN’s JJ Regan … sitting in a bar in the middle of the afternoon talking hockey.
Our final Morning Observations of the season will focus on the Flyers’ exit interviews, which took place on Tuesday throughout the day. #1: Voracek confirmed that foot never fully healed As many suspected after watching Jakub Voracek struggle during the final month of the season into the playoffs, the foot injury that he suffered in…
The Philadelphia Flyers may not have gone deep into the playoffs, but their seventh overall pick from 2015, Ivan Provorov, is. Provorov’s Brandon Wheat Kings eliminated the Memorial Cup hosts, the Red Deer Rebels, in five games to advance to the WHL Final. The Wheat Kings fell two games behind the Edmonton Oil Kings in…
Michal Neuvirth had an exceptional playoffs, there’s no denying that. He only allowed two goals against over the three games he played; unfortunately, the rest of the Philadelphia Flyers only scored four goals for him over that time. When you’re the eliminated goalie from a 1-0 game, there’s pretty much absolutely nothing else you could…
*Time to choose a bandwagon team, friends. I can’t decide. Go Shorks, probably. Anyhoo, take one last look at the last game of our season with one final 10 things from Charlie. [BSH] *The Department of Player Safety is HILARIOUS. Brayden Schenn is having a hearing. [Sons of Penn] *And since the season is over,…

Umberger says he’s expecting a buyout this summer. Wouldn’t be the worst thing, probably. [CSN Philly] *Let’s kick off the offseason with ten key…
The Flyers‘ final game of the season will in fact have an effect on how their 2016-17 season begins, as the NHL announced today that Flyers forward Brayden Schenn will be suspended for the first three regular-season games next fall for a charging call against Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie on Sunday. (1/2) Philadelphia’s Brayden…
Michael Del Zotto’s last game of the 2015-16 season was on Feb. 13. He played 20:18 in an overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils, and with that, the Philadelphia Flyers were suddenly down one of their top defensemen – right as their playoff push was about to get underway. Done for the season due…
A week and a half ago, the Philadelphia Flyers‘ season came to close with a Game 6 loss to the Washington Capitals. After battling their way into the postseason on the back of stellar play since around the middle of February, the Flyers simply could not impose their will on the Presidents’ Trophy winners. But…
