Tanner Glass called Danny Briere the dirtiest player in the league! What an outrage! No, okay. Let’s talk about this for a minute. Glass, who plays for the Penguins, talked to Randy Miller of the Courier Post today in Pittsburgh. Here’s the quote from Glass in its entirety: “I think so. For being a guy…
Maybe it was Claude Giroux’s speech after the game Saturday that got his team going. Maybe it was an awful game by a mediocre opponent in the New York Islanders. Maybe it was that they got all the bounces. Maybe it was a point of civic pride in defending the Phillie Phanatic against attacks from…
NOTE: Again, the Flyers manage to circumvent something I write by beating me to it before I publish. This was originally written about how Michael Leighton has to play eventually and is now about how Steve Mason has to, at the very least, play today. NOTE #2: Ilya Bryzgalov is starting tonight.

Maybe this is good news for the Flyers ahead of tomorrow’s game in Pittsburgh: Apparently, the ice at Consol Energy Center is awful, and some believe it could hurt the Penguins going forward. Via our friends at Pensburgh, who hypothesize that bad ice at home is limiting their team. Factor in the Penguins 8-2-0 road…

The team says it’s an upper-body injury and Leighton has been placed on the injured reserve. The Daily News reports that Leighton suffered the injury on…
There was a huge elephant in the room at Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees today as Chris Pronger spoke to the media, but nobody could address it directly. It just stood there, big and grey and overwhelming, without making a sound. Everybody knew this was Chris Pronger’s retirement press conference, but the Flyers defenseman and…
So I’ll be honest: I listened to the first two periods on radio cause everything in my apartment decided to stop working at once. Only saw the third period + OT (plus the highlights package) of this game. So I’ll keep this somewhat brief. Last night’s 2-1 shootout win over the Devils may not change…
I have never torn a muscle, but I can’t imagine it feels good. I’ve never torn a muscle in my rib cage, but I imagine it probably makes you want to kill yourself every time you breathe. That’s what Matt Read’s been going through over the last 24 hours, injured last night against the Pittsburgh…
