In some ways, today’s game was a lot like a number of other Flyers games so far this year — lots of goals for both teams (thanks in no small part to questionable goaltending), crazy second periods, and a comeback of sorts for the team wearing orange. In other ways, today’s game was almost nothing…
* Jakub Voracek had a disappointing season by his standards last year. Still, let’s talk about it: [BSH] * Alex Ovechkin may or may not have somehow injured himself playing basketball. He says he didn’t and posted a video to prove it. In any case, better basketball than golfing, right? [Russian Machine Never Breaks] *…

Unfortunately, they could not make it through Game #3 unscathed. Forward Michael Raffl, who has primarily played on the top line with Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds in the absence of…
The Flyers are on an incredible run towards the postseason right now, but one personality who hasn’t been around the Wells Fargo Center much this season is chairman Ed Snider. The man responsible for bringing the NHL to Philadelphia 50 years ago has spent much of the season at his home in California, dealing with…
Claude Giroux was snubbed from Team Canada back in 2014 at the Olympic Games in Sochi. It was not a stretch to think the same could happen this fall at the World Cup of Hockey. But, nope — Canada’s management team came to their senses and indeed named Giroux to the roster on Friday night….
