(Apologies for this post not going up until the morning. The editorial side of things shut down across the network last night. Thanks for your patience. — Kurt) So my original plan for this recap was just to post this .GIF of Claude Giroux scoring the most ridiculous goal you and I and everyone else…
Going into tonight, I was unsure of how the Flyers would perform — they faced a statistically superior team that lacked a few key players. In the end, the Flyers proved they could take advantage of the opportunity and give us all something nice to think about on Christmas. The Flyers got their first present…
Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. Lately there’s been a lot of smoke rising about the Flyers playing the Washington Capitals in the 2015 Winter Classic. First, there was this report from Shawn Reznik of The Hockey Writers on Saturday afternoon: I have it on good authority the #Flyers will be playing the #Caps at…
About a month ago, the Flyers began a 18-game stretch that we mentioned would probably go a long way towards seeing how much of a playoff contender they could actually be. A road trip against mostly-Central Division teams was middling at best (2-3-1), while a set of six games in the last two weeks against…
We noted before this game that the main story was the Flyers facing off with their old goalie in Ilya Bryzgalov, and we also noted that if the Flyers play the way that they should against this Edmonton team it shouldn’t matter who’s in goal because the Oilers are not a very good hockey team….
Going into the 2013-14 NHL season, there were few concerns regarding the Philadelphia Flyers‘ penalty kill. After all, they returned nearly all of the key pieces of a unit that ranked fifth in the NHL the previous season. Ruslan Fedotenko was let go, but he would be replaced by a full season of Adam Hall….
Despite showing a pretty pathetic effort in Vancouver, the Flyers road trip has been pretty successful thus far. Let’s hope that trend continues tonight in Calgary. The Flyers probably shouldn’t have won last night’s game against the Canucks. They were outshot, outplayed, and were just awful defensively. Hell, Tom Sestito scored a goal, which was…
5. Chris Pronger’s career is likely over, his brother confirms January 11: Sean Pronger, Chris’ brother, said in an interview on Deadspin that the Flyers defenseman would likely never play again. We knew by this point that Pronger’s NHL career was likely over, but this sort of confirmation from somebody close to Chris was still…
Yesterday, Travis gave us a list of the top five stories on Broad Street Hockey this year, based on the amount of web traffic that each one pulled in. It was entertaining and also a bit sad because I miss Chris Pronger a lot and he showed up a few times on said list. However,…
The Flyers delivered a solid beating against the Calgary Flames to make us all feel good about 2014. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t expect a win tonight, but still, this was an awesome way to start off fresh for the new year. Mark Streit got the party started early in first with…
