P.K. Subban is a Montreal Canadien until the summer of 2014. While it was a nice little dream we had going there for a while about the Habs’ best defenseman potentially leaving town to save the Flyers defense, it won’t be happening. Not for another few years, at the very least. Probably not ever. And…
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand exhale. What a game, and what a win. Ridiculous back-and-forth action, goaltending hilarity, unbelievable goals, swearing at the TV out of anger, swearing at the TV out of elation…this was a Flyers-Penguins game. And the same way seven of the Flyers’ other nine games at the Consol Energy Center have ended, it ended the…
In my eyes, three problems have plagued the Flyers this season. Two of the problems are just skill-based: turnovers and poor special teams. Let’s get angry about them, but hey … what can you do? When it comes down to it, you just have to chalk them up in the “okay, so they’re bad, then”…
We all know that Paul Holmgren enjoys this time of year, in which the best free agents from the NCAA ranks leave their schools to try their luck with the NHL. The Flyers usually find some space in their reserve lists for a few college players every year, and TSN’s Bob McKenzie reported tonight that…
BSH: Dustin Byfuglien returns to the lineup tonight. What should we expect from him? AIC: Expect a lot of minutes from Byfuglien his first game back. He’s more or less the team’s field general, especially when on the powerplay. A rover at heart, look for Byfuglien to put himself in an array of questionable positions…
Didn’t watch the game live last night. Tried doing the whole “okay, I’ll watch the first period and then try to avoid the score so I can watch in the morning,” but as it turns out, it’s hard to avoid the score when the Flyers put the puck in the net seven times. That’s a…
I’ll admit: Coming into tonight’s game against the New York Rangers, I didn’t really think the Flyers had a chance. And on paper, they absolutely didn’t have a chance. Down a million players, Jody Shelley and Tom Sestito both in the lineup, against a team with the league’s best goaltender and one of the most…
It’s been about three hours since whatever it is that was going on at the Wells Fargo Center tonight just concluded, and from the sounds of things (in the comments here, on Twitter, presumably everywhere else) everyone’s a bit upset. Which, well, duh. That was pretty much a punch to the gut, spread out across…
