Mike Knuble is an unrestricted free agent. He was invited to Detroit Red Wings training camp, but the 40-year-old was a longshot to make the team all along and ultimately did not earn himself a contract. He signed a professional tryout contract with the Red Wings and has been playing for their AHL affiliate, the…
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Andrej Meszaros could be available to play in the regular season opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. Having suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon during a training exercise in July, it was likely that Meszaros would miss a considerable amount of the 2012-13 regular season while recovering. With all of 2012 evaporated…
Rinaldo, you guys. Pretty bad period for the Flyers, all things told, but it at least got a little even (in more ways than one) towards the end of the period.
Hockey’s a funny game. Through eight games, the Flyers had been one of the best teams in the league at controlling even strength possession and generating shots towards the goal. They compiled a 2-6 record in those games. Tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes, the Flyers lost the total shot attempt battle by a count of…
Brayden Schenn will face the NHL’s Wheel of Justice on Wednesday as Brendan Shanahan sharpens his ban hammer for the first time in the new season. It’s all over this hit on New Jersey’s resident elbow thrower, Anton Volchenkov. Schenn definitely left his feet on the hit and it probably should have been a two-minute…
After a bipolar weekend of hockey in South Florida, the Flyers will look for their third win of the young season and their second win against the New York Rangers. They’re at Madison Square Garden tonight to take on one of the East’s best. Philadelphia Flyers (2-4-0) at New York Rangers (2-3-0)7:00 p.m. | Madison…
Remember back in mid-October, when instead of writing about the first week of the NHL season, we wrote this? On the downright awful side, this part of the league’s Tuesday proposal isn’t targeted at players. It’s targeted at their own clubs that have been cheating the system for the last seven years, like the Flyers….
Update: McGinn has indeed been called up. Rinaldo will be out at least a week. Zac Rinaldo’s leg injury doesn’t seem to be serious, at least as far as 20-stitch cuts to the leg go. He’ll likely miss Tuesday night’s game against the New Jersey Devils, but he’s not expected to be out all that…
Tonight’s the big reunion: Luke Schenn returns to Toronto for the first time since being traded to the Flyers and James van Riemsdyk faces the orange and black for the first time in his career. It’s a pretty big evening. Philadelphia Flyers (5-6-1) at Toronto Maple Leafs (7-5-0)7 p.m. | Air Canada Centre | Toronto,…
The 2013 NHL schedule likely won’t be released until Thursday or Friday of this week, but it’s looking more and more like the season will begin on Saturday, January 19. There were reports late Sunday night that all 30 teams could be in action on that day, which would make sense from a marketability perspective….
