It may have only been roughly half a year thanks to the ongoing NHL lockout, but the hockey part of 2012 has been another damn entertaining one in Philadelphia Flyers land. Using both BSH traffic numbers and our hearts as a barometer, let’s look at the top 10 Flyers stories of the year: Honorable mentions:…
If I had any money, I’d be willing to put all of it down on the NHL season starting sometime after it’s scheduled October 11 start date. It doesn’t really take a rocket scientist to figure that out: Even though we have several more weeks before a lockout actually begins on Sept. 15, the sense…
Back in June during an interview with the Courier-Post, Anaheim Ducks forward Bobby Ryan loudly voiced his displeasure with his current team. He wanted to be traded, and if that demand were filled, he’d like to become a member of the Philadelphia Flyers. Ryan grew up in Cherry Hill and his family has ties to…
Danny Briere’s injured, and it looks like he’s going to miss the first week or so of the 2013 season with a hurt wrist. That’s what he told reporters in Voorhees today, anyway. Danny Briere tells us he may miss a week to 10 days. #Flyers — Anthony SanFilippo (@AnthonySan37) January 8, 2013 It’s a…
Two members of the Philadelphia Flyers, Maxime Talbot and Bruno Gervais, have organized the Tournée des Joueurs. The Tournée is a chance for 20 NHL players to travel and play exhibition games in front of small crowds. The tour began on Thursday in Quebec at the Complex Multisports de Chateauguay.

The hugely popular Broad Street Hockey Fantasy Hockey League is back for another year.

Just as last year, we will have three…

Joining me will be Dominik from Lighthouse Hockey, John Fischer from In Lou We Trust, Hooks Orpik from Pensburgh and, if he’s…
1969-70 was quite possibly the year the Philadelphia Flyers turned the corner from expansion franchise to a legitimate Stanley Cup threat, but it had nothing to do with the underwhelming season they put together on the ice that season. Instead, it was the selection and rookie season of Bobby Clarke, a second-round choice from Flin…
Guilty. An more guilty. Dennis Veteri, one of three people who beat up a pair of Rangers fans outside Geno’s Steaks after the Winter Classic back in January, pled guilty to simple assault, aggravated assault and conspiracy in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia on Tuesday. He’s free on bail until a sentencing hearing…
Bruno Gervais is the latest member of the Philadelphia Flyers to sign in Europe. He’s signed in the league formerly home to Wayne Simmonds, Germany’s 2nd Bundesliga, where he’ll play with Heilbronn. RDS.ca broke the story, which apparently hasn’t been announced by the team just yet. The Google translation of the RDS report suggests Gervais…
