The NHL announced a whole bunch of awesome stuff on Thursday afternoon: TV ratings are up, Internet traffic is up, and they’re swimming in the money as a result of it all. The league is on the best financial footing it’s seen since the lockout (perhaps all-time), as they’ve grown a whopping 195 percent since…
Hi. My name is Geoff and I am a Matt Read skeptic. Surely this isn’t news to most of you – what aren’t I skeptical about? – but sometimes, it’s good to admit these things openly. If you recall, when the Flyers signed Matt Read in March of last year, I was heavy on the…
Those are average Philadelphia Flyers ticket prices, courtesy of our friends at TiqIQ, for the three home games this week at the Wells Fargo Center. You can get in for basically nothing, but if you want good seats, expect to pay around the average price listed above. It’s no surprise that a divisional game on…
Claude Giroux wanted it. Claude Giroux got it. His first shift on Sunday afternoon, which completely set the tone for the Philadelphia Flyers in their Game 6 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, was an absolute thing of beauty. Was it his best shift ever as a Flyer? No, probably not. That title probably goes to…

The moves have already been made. Nicklas Grossman and Pavel Kubina were added to the blueline well in advance of the 2012 NHL Trade Deadline, and despite plenty of rumors to the contrary, Paul Holmgren stayed quiet on Monday. He didn’t trade for Rick Nash. He didn’t trade James van Riemsdyk. He did absolutely nothing….

On April 5, 2007, Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils beat the Flyers by a score of 3-2. It was Brodeur’s 48th and final win of the season, one more than Bernie Parent’s long-standing record of 47 wins in a year. But we in Philly brushed aside Brodeur’s accomplishment while the rest of the…
