This year, on Nov. 7 and 8, the WHL’s top players will be opening up the CIBC Canada Russia Series against the Russian National Junior Team. It’s a fun time for all, as the Russians will make their way across Canada to face off against the top players throughout the CHL – one of whom…
* Talkin’ ‘bout Michael Del Zotto’s sadly abbreviated 2015-16 season: [BSH] * Since it’s the summer, let’s react strongly to arbitrary player rankings, such as this one from NHL Network that ranks Claude Giroux: [BSH] * Looking back on the late March Flyers/Capitals game, which was maybe my favorite win of the regular season: [Sons…
For years, the Philadelphia Eagles have owned social media in this town with their ridiculous, goosebump-inducing hype videos. But I think the Flyers just put together the best version of those videos that the city has ever seen. (Maybe. I don’t know. Some of those Eagles ones are reaaaaalllly good.) I can’t even count the…
Again, the second period proved to be the Flyers’ best period of the game. Unfortunately, this time, that second period wasn’t enough to put them over the edge. Some stout goaltending from all-world netminder Carey Price and a late goal on a deflection in front cost the Flyers a point tonight in Montreal, where they…

Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Provorov simply looks ready The Flyers were never going to make it easy for Ivan Provorov to make the team out of camp this year. The 2015 seventh overall pick faced both a lineup full of NHL…

Flyers president Paul Holmgren met with the assembled media in Voorhees on and gave an answer to a question that’s been lingering in the back of all our minds since the death of Ed Snider two weeks ago: who calls the shots around here now? As it turns out, hockey operations will still mostly be…
Hockey players come in all different shapes and sizes. From Zdeno Chara to Nathan Gerbe, to a more local spectrum of Sam Morin to, let’s say, Nick Cousins, every player comes with a different makeup. Similarly, every player has a different approach to their offseason. Perhaps that’s a bit surprising. They’re hockey players; they skate,…
