Well, a nice little stop at home to eat some turkey and beat the Thrashers went pretty well. The Flyers played a really nice game yesterday, getting positive contributions from nearly everyone in the lineup at times, and it helped them bust a mini-losing streak and get back to one game away from an NHL-defined…
So I have a confession to make, guys. I started writing this recap about halfway through the third period of the game. It was not on pace to be a very happy recap, as you can see from the original headline there. And honestly, I don’t think that pessimism was unjustified. By and large, when…
We all thought Peter Luukko would replace Ed Snider someday as the man in charge of the Philadelphia Flyers and the vast empire that’s been built around them. The Wells Fargo Center, Xfinity Live, Comcast SportsNet. All of it would someday belong to Peter Luukko, who’s worked alongside Snider since the mid 1980s. Nope. Luukko…
The Flyers have played just five games ever at the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota, so Monday night’s game is a rare treat for Flyers fans that live in the State of Hockey. Philadelphia Flyers (12-12-2, 26 pts) at Minnesota Wild (15-8-5, 35 pts)8 p.m. | Xcel Energy Center | Minneapolis, Minn.In Philly: CSN Philly,…
Scott Laughton is really, really good. He’ll get a chance to be really, really good at the World Junior Championship later this month in Sweden, as he’s been named to Canada’s camp roster and is basically a lock for the team. There’s even a chance that Laughton, who wears the ‘C’ on his chest for…
Flyers prospect goaltender Anthony Stolarz will represent the United States at the 2014 World Junior Hockey Championships in Sweden. He was named to USA Hockey’s preliminary 26-man roster on Wednesday, but as one of just three goalies on the roster, he’s all but certainly locked in on the team. Stolarz, currently playing for the OHL’s…
blah blah blah this is the part where we write about how the Flyers have one once at Joe Louis Arena since the 1980s, which is likely the lede of every game preview you’ll read today. More importantly, the Red Wings are hurting pretty badly right now. Their entire top line will be out tonight….
I pretty much had tonight’s recap written after the second period. I was going to make a joke about copying and pasting the recap from the last time the Flyers were in Detroit, when penalties cost them a game that they actually controlled at five-on-five. It seemed like the same story through 40 minutes tonight….

It’s been just under two years since the last time the Flyers played a hockey game in Texas. The last time it happened, there was no shortage of out-of-the-ordinary happenings — the Flyers were being filmed on 24/7, Claude Giroux returned from a concussion with a four-point game, and Steve Ott told Claude Giroux to…
