We can all agree that the New York Rangers would be a much, much easier opponent without Marc Staal in the lineup, he of the 23 minutes a night and the tough minutes and stopping our best players and all. But let’s hope he leaves the Rangers and never plays against the Flyers again because…
Philadelphia Flyers forward Matt Read sustained an injury in Thursday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Read was administered a hit by Pittsburgh forward Chris Kunitz and was forced to leave the game. During the second period, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren announced that Read had sustained an upper-body injury and would not be able…
Slowly but surely, the Atlantic Division race is becoming a place where your Philadelphia Flyers are irrelevant chunk of space junk, and there’s no better way to accelerate that process than to lose to the fourth-place New York Islanders.

After a tough loss a night ago in Newark, the Flyers are back on the road this evening at Bell Centre in Montreal. And there’s really only one major question heading into this one. Will Kimmo Timonen be in the lineup? Philadelphia Flyers (6-8-1, 13 pts) at Montreal Canadiens (8-4-1, 17 pts)7 p.m. | Centre…
Adam Hall has had a busy month. After being placed on waivers by the Tampa Bay Lightning in March, he was claimed by the Carolina Hurricanes, with which he played in six games. Earlier this week, he was traded back to the Lightning and then placed on waivers. Today, the Flyers claimed him. The team…
Simon Gagne will pull on his orange No. 12 sweater for the 755th time (including playoffs) tonight when the Flyers host the Washington Capitals at Wells Fargo Center.

On the Rangers’ last goal Tuesday night, everyone blamed a bad line change. I don’t think the line change was the primary problem, though. Let’s go to the video. As Luke Schenn brings the puck up the ice 40 seconds into his shift, all three Flyer forwards are standing flat-footed on the blue line. He…
The Flyers lineup could get an unexpected boost tonight when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight for the third game of this year’s four-game season series. Wait, there’s no chance Matt Read’s actually going to play tonight, is there?! Pittsburgh Penguins (15-8-0, 30) at Philadelphia Flyers (11-12-1, 23)7 p.m. | Wells Fargo Center | South…
If you’ve been waiting for the hammer to fall in the form of a massive trade for the Flyers…well…this isn’t it. But they did make a move today, sending Phantoms winger Matt Ford to the Blue Jackets for “future considerations”. The move was first announced by Blue Jackets Digital Content and Community Manager Rob Mixer,…
No idea what the hell is going on here, but I’m sure the Penguins would like to re-evaluate their defensive positioning. Nicklas Grossmann scored his first of the year here after the puck sat on the goal line thanks to a tag team of six Pittsburgh goaltenders. I count at least six shots here, and…
