It’s honestly hard to explain what the hell happened in tonight’s game. The Kings absolutely dominated in possession, but the Flyers were able to capitalize on the few chances they had to pull out an unlikely win. The Kings — as expected — set up a tent in the Flyers zone and camped out there…
0 – the total number of goals scored by the Flyers on February 28, 2012: the last time these two teams faced each other in San Jose. The Flyers last played in San Jose on February 28, 2012: a 1-0 shutout loss at the hands of Ryane Clowe (lol), Antti Niemi and the rest of…
Sure, the Olympics are really early in the morning, but it’s still AMERICA and HOCKEY, so it’s worth getting up for. And why should we sit at home and watch by ourselves, when we can join a bunch of friends, get free drinks, and watch AMERICA play HOCKEY on a huge projection screen? More info:…
10 – the number of games this season in which the Flyers have trailed in the third period and ended up winning the game, after last night’s win in San Jose. That is a franchise record. In case you missed out on any of those, relive the fun! November 30 in Nashville: Flyers trailed 2-1…
We’ll begin tonight’s recap with a confession: I’ve never really liked the phrase “60-minute effort”. I think it’s a term that gets thrown around by people who watch a team dominate games for stretches at a time (which is prone to happen for just about any team in any game) and then get frustrated when…
0: Number of Philadelphia Flyers on Team Canada Canada picks Martin St. Louis over Giroux. I’ll again point out that no team in NHL-era has won gold without an active Philadelphia Flyer… — Ben Rothenberg (@BenRothenberg) February 6, 2014 Giroux’s not going as Stamkos’ replacement. Whatever, Hockey Canada is dumb. Their loss.
7 – the number of players in the National Hockey League currently with more assists than Claude Giroux this season. (Another one, Ryan Getzlaf, is tied with Giroux’s 37 assists). Of those seven players, only three of them — Sidney Crosby, Joe Thornton, and John Tavares — are Canadian forwards. (Getzlaf is also included in…
Over the past five years few teams have had the success that the Chicago Blackhawks have had. They’ve finished the regular season as the second, first, tenth, thirteenth, and third best team in the entire league over the past five seasons. And that also includes two Stanley Cups. So when Stan Bowman, the General Manager…
The Flyers face another tough test tonight in Philadelphia, taking on the young guns that are the Colorado Avalanche. It feels like the Flyers haven’t played in weeks, which is unfortunate, because soon they actually won’t be playing for a couple of weeks. Just to bring you back up to speed, the Flyers had a…
Sometime last week, Kurt posted BSH’s internal roundtable discussion regarding the Flyers’ pre-Olympic break MVP. Unfortunately, the email chain died right before there were talks of a least-valuable player. So we’re going to pick that back up right here. Vincent Lecavalier’s time in Philadelphia hasn’t gotten off to the start most fans were hoping for….
