At the beginning of last season, we asked for a bit of extra writing help. We brought on the services of Kurt R. following that little audition spree, but the reality is that we need a lot more help around here. We’re short-staffed — it’s really just me and Kurt these days — and we…
Coming into this game, the concern for the Flyers was that they’d come out a bit rusty since they didn’t really get a chance to skate at all during the time leading up to the game. Thanks to a long, long penalty kill to start the game, they had a chance to show us all…
I can agree with Flyers enforcer Jay Rosehill on one thing: James Neal is a piece of shit. He blatantly kneed Brad Marchand in the head on Saturday night and was suspended five games for the gutless move. He deserved more than five games, especially because he has a reputation as a dirty piece of…
Some bad news strikes the Flyers on this Sunday evening, and it’s on the injury front. Center Vincent Lecavalier, who had already missed the last three games due to what were being called back spasms, has been sent back to Philadelphia and will be out for 3-4 weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his back,…
Please welcome Albert Kleine, another new writer here at BSH. Tonight the Flyers welcome home a familiar friend as they try to pick up some points after a largely disappointing road trip. Danny Briere makes his first return to Philadelphia after being bought out by the team this past summer, and that fact will likely…

Steve Mason has allowed four goals just twice in his Flyers career: on Saturday against Dallas, and on Monday against Ottawa. It’s up for debate whether or not those two losses were Mason’s fault, or even whether any of those eight goals allowed were Mason’s fault. Maybe they were on him, maybe the bounces are…
The Flyers bounced back after last night’s ugly loss, getting a much needed win over the indisputably better Canadiens. Let’s get the obvious out of the way. Danny Briere got a warm ovation from the crowd at Wells Fargo Center, blah blah blah. Danny had some nice things to say about us, and it’s just…
The last time the Flyers and Capitals played, the Flyers put on what was probably the most embarrassing show they’ve had all season long. Bad defense, no goals, unnecessary fights, goalies jumping other goalies … it was the worst game they’ve played all season long. No questions asked. Today’s Flyers game against the Capitals wasn’t…
You may have noticed that we introduced two new writers this week. Allison J. covered Wednesday’s game vs. Chicago, and Albert Kleine covered Thursday’s win over Montreal. In addition to those two, let’s welcome Charlie O’Connor, who comes to BSH from The Hockey Guys, where he’s covered the Flyers for the past several years. Let’s…
