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. But we’ve never really learned a lot about his role with the team. Anderson has never done an interview with the media since…
Last year, before the season started, we here at Broad Street Hockey set up a series of over/under prop bets regarding the 2015-16 Flyers season (at the individual and team level), and we all took a guess on each one. We did very poorly at this guessing! But that’s not going to stop us from…
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. The hope on the part of Ron Hextall and the Flyers was that Weal would slip through as teams were working to organize their own rosters for the…
Yesterday, ESPN’s Corey Pronman released his annual ranking of each farm system in the NHL, and his rankings had the Flyers’ system as the sixth-best in the NHL — a slight jump up from 10th last year and further proof of the good work that Ron Hextall and (the recently-promoted) Chris Pryor have done in…
VOORHEES – There’s certainly a stark contrast from the lines that were trotted out for Monday’s split squad game compared to the lineup that will skate out onto the Wells Fargo Center ice on Tuesday night against the New York Islanders. The game is at 7 p.m. and will be televised locally on The Comcast…
It’s going to be an emotional night at the Wells Fargo Center this evening when the Flyers raise a banner honoring Ed Snider to the rafters, in addition to all of the other 50th anniversary celebrations that the team has in store. There’s also a Shake Shack opening on the main concourse, which brings some…
Team Europe has turned into the plucky little underdogs that, it turns out, could. Maybe not against Canada – at least not so far, as they’re in a do-or-die situation tomorrow for the best of three finals – but against everyone else, they got it. Case in point: their sudden death semifinal win over Team…
This is quite a hectic time around the Flyers organization as players have been heading off to Lehigh Valley or back to their junior teams. There’s a few more cuts that remain, so there’s certainly many questions to be answered from the fans. We’re here to help you guys out with that. Let’s get into…
Shayne Gostisbehere scored a goal last night. Chances are it will make you smile. [BSH] Michal Neuvirth looks like he will be the starting goaltender for the Czechs. [Puck Daddy] It looks like the Flyers will be getting new banners in the Wells Fargo Center rafters for the 50th anniversary season. [Facebook] Andrew MacDonald knows…
One of the best parts of this season so far is, without a doubt, seeing Ivan Provorov make the NHL. Averaging 19:58 a game, he isn’t being thrown totally into the deep end; at the same time, he’s fifth in average ice time for both the Flyers and all rookies throughout the league. But something…
