Could Sergei Bobrovsky’s days as a member of the Philadelphia Flyers organization be numbered? Well, where there’s smoke there’s usually fire, and there’s been plenty of smoke over the last several days regarding the Flyers desire to acquire a veteran backup goaltender. The Globe & Mail in Toronto reported Monday that the Flyers were interested…
There’s a Western Conference in the National Hockey League. Apparently they play on ice and everything, and there are two teams from that conference that play a game against each other on Monday night. The Phoenix Coyotes take on the Chicago Blackhawks in a game that could see the 2010 Stanley Cup Champs eliminated from…

The Ottawa Senators couldn’t help us out last night, as they fell to the New York Rangers in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series. That result pushes that series to a Game 7 on Thursday night, and thus we’ll have to wait at least that long before learning the Flyers‘ second round fate….
The Flyers are making an announcement today. We didn’t know what that announcement was. Now, we know — and no, it’s not all that major. Not necessarily minor, but not necessarily major either. The team will drop SportsRadio WIP as their radio partner after the current playoff season, switching to 97.5 The Fanatic for the…
This week, SB Nation will unveil its winners for seven different NHL awards. Bloggers from across our hockey network have voted on the awards, and today we begin with the Vezina Trophy, handed out each year to the NHL’s top goalie. I think this is the part where we’re supposed to lead this Vezina Trophy-related…
I’m not going to hold my breath when it comes to a potential suspension for James Neal or Arron Asham. It’s become clear that Brendan Shanahan has a set a clearly broken precedent: No injury, no suspension, regardless of reckless intent. Brayden Schenn wasn’t injured by Asham on Sunday, and it doesn’t appear that Claude…
You want to know why the Philadelphia Flyers have been outhustled, outworked and generally outplayed in the last two losses to the New Jersey Devils? This quote from Scott Hartnell, who might just be the team’s emotional bellwether, sums it all up rather succintly. “I don’t think we thought we were going to win four…
Now that our 19-year-old rookie has stood his ground with the likely Hart trophy winner, recorded a hat trick, and generally proven to be awesome, it’s time for everyone to learn to spell his freaking name. C-O-U-T-U-R-I-E-R Not Coutrier. Not Cotourier. Not Coturier. Not Couturiere (Ben). Not Cutourier. Not Couturie. Not Courtier. Not Courturier (Geoff)….
As we learned Thursday night, the Flyers and Matt Carle may divorce on Sunday. Without him, the Flyers have a serious hole on defense, as Carle eats more minutes than anybody on the team. So what are the options beyond to fill that void should he leave? Ryan Suter, of course. He’s the prize of…
