Remember earlier when we said we wanted Ray Emery to fight Ryan Miller? That Miller’s a total jerk, and a whiny little petulant baby, and we highly dislike him? Okay, well that’s still true. But his teammates inflict enough pain upon him. Miller faced 46 shots tonight, and well … that’s a lot of rubber….
Maybe the Flyers got a little lucky tonight. They caught an opponent on the tail end of a back-to-back, missing players, starting the same already-suspect goalie both nights. The team they were playing looked pretty out of it other than maybe a bit of time in the second and third periods, and maybe they’re just…
You may have heard that things have been going a bit better for the Flyers in the past couple of weeks. They’re on a seven-game point streak, with six wins and just a single shootout loss in that time. The run that the orange and black are currently on brought them from 28th in the…
A wildly successful homestand is over, and the Flyers are finally looking like the team we hoped they could be. But now that they’re back on the road for the better part of the next month, will that success continue? Philadelphia Flyers (10-10-2, 24 pts) at Florida Panthers (6-13-5, 17 pts)7:30 p.m. | BB&T Center…
At rare points in their seven-game point streak that spanned the last two weeks, the Flyers would have stretches where they’d just not be able to get a whole lot going. Even in the middle of wins — of which there’d be plenty –there’d be brief stretches here and there where passes weren’t connecting, the…
No full preview today because we’re all traveling for the holiday. But, here’s our game thread and all the pertinent information on tonight’s matchup vs. Tampa Bay. Go team.

Remember back at the NHL draft when Samuel Morin was obsessively compared to Chris Pronger? We called it unfair, and Paul Holmgren called it unfair, mostly because it is ridiculously unfair. Pronger is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer and one of the best defensemen to ever play. But hey, at least Morin isn’t alone…
One thing that you probably noticed a lot in the Flyers‘ two losses earlier this week was a notably weak effort in the first period of both games. Lazy play, spending too much time in their own end, etc. Even if they weren’t getting beaten up on the scoreboard, both of those bad first periods…
Hope you all enjoyed your holiday yesterday. Let’s hope the Flyers had a fun day too, though let’s also hope they didn’t stuff themselves too much yesterday, since they’ll be playing in the earliest start time of a game I can remember in recent memory today. Winnipeg Jets (12-11-4, 28 pts) at Philadelphia Flyers (10-12-2,…
As some of you may have heard, BSH Radio and Flyperbole were at the Alumni Showdown on Friday. We had a pretty good time taking in some hockey and talking to Flyers alumni as well as a few of the kids from the Snider Youth Hockey Foundation. For a just a few bucks, donated through…
