PHILADELPHIA – The Flyers can’t say they didn’t have their chances. After a hard-fought third period through the first 10 minutes, Anaheim broke a 2-2 tie when Ryan Garbutt went top shelf over a sprawling Steve Mason. “We had tired legs,” said Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol. “We lost coverage on that play.

Early Sunday afternoon, news broke that the Philadelphia Flyers had placed forward Jordan Weal on waivers, giving every team in the NHL a chance to claim him.

Our friends at Philly.com have the day’s most important news: SHAKE SHACK COMIN’ TO THE WELLS FARGO CENTER. It’s going to be located behind Section 115 near the Cure Insurance Club. (Why is it still the Cingular Pavilion in my brain? How old am I? Jeez.) Here’s the rundown of menu items, via Philly.com: ShackBurger,…
Two years ago, shortly after Ron Hextall was put in charge of hockey operations with the Flyers, we reported on the hiring of Ian Anderson as the team’s manager of hockey analytics.
