That much was confirmed earlier this week when season ticket holders began receiving their ticket packages in the mail, with the nice little note pictured at left. That’s where…

[Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] PHILADELPHIA — A month ago, the Flyers traveled to Montreal for a game at Bell Centre against the Canadiens. After a red hot start and a pretty goal from the top line put the Flyers up 1-0, a fluky goal at the other…
[Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] Sorry for the late recap. Wound up leaving the game early last night since I felt about as good as the Flyers looked on the ice. – Travis We kind of knew this was how it was going to be. The undefeated-in-five-games start…
Tom Sestito has been placed on waivers today according to TSN’s Bob McKenzie, and now we can officially say that he completely and single-handedly cost himself a shot at a job in this Philadelphia Flyers Training Camp. He’ll likely be suspended for his hit on Rangers not-goalie Andre Deveaux (I’m too lazy to check what…
We’ve had a ridiculous, unexpected, overwhelming response to BSH Fantasy Hockey, and after initially only having 30 spots across two leagues open, we decided to expand to 70 open spots in order to accomodate as many people as we possibly could. We still wound up with a wait list of about 15 people, but we…

This isn’t really a shocking move. Lehtivuori hated everything about being a member of the Adirondack Phantoms last year, from being on a…
Scoring chances through the first two periods were fairly even between these teams, finishing 13-11 at the end of the second and 11-10 at even strength. The third period was complete dominance by the Flyers, outchancing the Canes 10-3 for the period and 6-2 at even strength. The powerplay only generated 2 chances from 4…
PHILADELPHIA — Zac Rinaldo didn’t really shy away from his hit on Drew Doughty tonight. The video speaks for itself. For the video impaired, here’s the quote: From my vantage point? He came across the trolley tracks. Head down. Clean hit, shoulder-to-shoulder. So that’s about it. Yep, that is about it. It was a clean…
Many of you who were around Broad Street Hockey at the end of last season may remember that I started tracking the Flyers scoring chances, and I will continue to do so this season. For those of you who haven’t read about the scoring chance project undertaken by members in the hockey blogosphere, or for…
