Chris Pronger isn’t technically retired from the NHL. Paul Holmgren is on record saying that the Flyers defenseman will never play again, and Pronger himself has basically said the same thing in fewer words. But he’s not technically retired, and he can’t retire because it would kill the Flyers against the salary cap, so it’s…
It’s a shame Fred Shero isn’t alive to see his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame this evening, but the coach who brought two Stanley Cups to the City of Philadelphia finally gets his day today. It’s been a long time coming, and it’s more than deserved. As we wrote back in July when…
The Flyers are back in action tonight in the suburbs of Ottawa as they take on the Senators. It’s the first of three road games over the next four days, and the Sens enter tonight’s game on a three-game win streak and undefeated in the month of November, so it’s not going to be easy…
The Flyers seemed to have figured out this whole hockey thing recently.

One night after beating the Senators in Ottawa, the Flyers went to Pittsburgh and beat the Penguins 2-1 for what was somehow their third straight win. This is the best terrible team ever! Showing remarkable improvement from last night, this time I…
I have wanted to write about this all season, but the Flyers weren’t scoring goals, so it didn’t really seem that pressing an issue. But now that the team has won three straight games, scoring 11 goals in those three games, it seems important. CHANGE THE DAMNED GOAL SONG. Maybe I’m alone in my hatred…
The Flyers have renovated the hell out of the player areas at Skate Zone in Voorhees this fall, completely transforming the look of the locker room and the team lounge. Part of that renovation includes these five huge posters that now adorn the players lounge in Voorhees. They feature the five players whose numbers have…
Much like the Flyers, the Winnipeg Jets have had a rough season so far. They’re towards the basement in the Western Conference, there have been trade rumors about some of their best players, and the speculation has circled around coach Claude Noel’s future in the organization. Philadelphia Flyers (7-10-1, 15 pts) at Winnipeg Jets (9-9-2,…
