As basically everyone else, Kimmo Timonen expected the first round playoff series against the Penguins to be tough, so after three hard fought games, he’s not too surprised. “All three games have been tough, I guess it’s playoff hockey. Now we rest a couple days and go at it again.” Timonen himself fought in Game…
As you may or may not know, there are now only four teams remaining in the playoffs. While some are convinced that anything short of winning a Stanley Cup represents a failure, I would contend that making it to this final four stage constitutes an indisputably really good postseason, if not a really good entire…
You might expect things to be awkward for Trevor van Riemsdyk, the younger brother of former Flyers forward James van Riemsdyk who’s found his way to Flyers development camp this week as an invitee. But despite the fact that he’s clearly trying to follow directly in his older brother’s foot steps — both played prep…
There’s not much to say about today’s Game 6 at Wells Fargo Center. The Flyers can make us all feel silly about this mini-panic attack with just three short hours of hockey today, or they can send an entire city and region into cardiac arrest. It’s their choice. I’m convinced this Flyers team is better…
While the mainstream media has already begun to drag Mike Richards and Jeff Carter back into the Flyers conversation this offseason — the assertion at Paul Holmgren’s press conference Thursday that they were bad in the locker room, the lede in this story from the Associated Press — the Los Angeles Times wrote a story…
The 2011-12 hockey season could be over for the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, and unfortunately, that’d be a pretty fair result. For the third game in a row, the Flyers were completely dominated by the Devils, and they face a 3-1 series hole heading into Game 5 on Tuesday thanks to the 4-2 loss. Let’s…
We’re not going to mention the whole CBA thing, because if I read one more snarky comment about how next season might be delayed with a lockout or strike, I’m gonna lose it. So with that said, the Flyers are scheduled to open the 2012-13 season at home against the Boston Bruins on Thursday, October…
Claude Giroux was suspended one game by the NHL today. You probably disagree with that, and given the NHL’s general lack of cojones when it comes to suspending players in this postseason, you’re absolutely right to be frustrated with Brendan Shanahan’s decision. No suspension to Shea Weber for grabbing a dude’s head and shoving it…
2-7 — The Flyers record in the next series after winning a series 4-2. In their history the Flyers have won a best-of-seven series by the score of four-games-to-two 12 times. Two of these wins were fairly memorable, coming in the 1974 and 1975 Stanley Cup Finals. These wins were followed by parades. But 10…
