We’re on the final day of group play, and after history was made in multiple games yesterday, it’s sad to see this part of the tournament come to an end. Three of today’s four games have big implications as far as seeding — both Canada and Finland are gunning for the No. 1 overall spot,…
The 2018-19 trade deadline has now passed. From the Flyers perspective, the biggest story of the deadline was learning that Wayne Simmonds would no longer be a Flyer. He goes to Nashville and in return the Flyers roster now sports Ryan Hartman and a future third or fourth round pick. During the day, I was…
Entering the 2011-2012 season, no one really knew what to expect from the Flyers. The core of the team had been shipped off in the summer, and youngsters Claude Giroux and James van Riemsdyk were expected to step up as the new leaders. All in all, the season was pretty damn exciting. Claude Giroux definitely…
One of the more polarizing Philadelphia Flyers of the 2013-2014 season so far has been Nicklas Grossmann. The usually steady Grossmann had a particularly rough month throughout January. Many fans and bloggers (including some of our own here at Broad Street Hockey) felt Grossmann might deserve to sit for a game or two; if not…
Yesterday was a full day off from Olympic action and it was boring. But today we finally reach the real fun part of the tournament: elimination! Yes, four teams will play their final game of the Olympics today, as the fifth through twelfth seeds will all be in action. Today’s Games Slovenia (No. 8) vs….
It’s the gift that keeps on giving. First the Philadelphia Flyers signed Shea Weber to an offer sheet in the summer of 2012, and Flyers fans everywhere were drooling at the thought of him in Orange and Black. Then the Nashville Predators matched the offer sheet, and the conversation turned to if the Predators would…
We’re somewhere around 70 percent of the way through the Flyers’ season, and it’s been quite an interesting one. Pick a player on this roster, and chances are at some point this season he’s had a stretch of a few weeks where he’s looked like a high-end contributor and has had another stretch where he’s…
Do you know your Philly sports trivia? Like do you really know your stuff? Like who Eric Lindros scored his first career NHL goal against? Do you love Shayne Gostisbehere? Do you love animals? Do you also want to hang out with BSH’s own Steph Driver and Kelly Hinkle? Well if you said yes to…
Yesterday was sad and heartbreaking as Team Canada played a really really good game and gave the Americans their first loss of the Olympics in the semifinal matchup. It was a 1-0 loss that never really felt that close. A disappointing end to a run for a team that’s been pretty fun to follow for…

Finland and…
