Let’s face it — the Flyers freaking owned yesterday’s game and made the Penguins look like a pee wee hockey team. But as we noted, that means nothing without a win today in Pittsburgh. Yesterday was just completely awesome. The Flyers got solid contributions from pretty much every player and just dominated play for an…
PHILADELPHIA — There are two ways to look at Saturday’s dominant 4-0 win over the Penguins. The Flyers took care of their business and rolled over a team that’s been decimated by injuries to top players. Something to be proud of. Pittsburgh was depleted so badly that they never really had a chance, and any…
The Flyers picked up today’s game right where they left off Saturday, and despite giving up a couple goals, the boys were able to hold on and get their second straight win against the Penguins. A lot of us entered today’s game worrying about whether the Flyers could carry over momentum from yesterday. Obviously the…
A few weeks ago, back while the Flyers were still on the Olympic break, we asked who the team’s most valuable player (MVP) was up through that point in the season. We discussed the point in a fair amount of detail, but we all pretty much agreed that the answer was center Claude Giroux. More…
0 – The number of sane people who buy NHL St. Patrick’s Day merchandise. Today is St. Patrick’s Day, so you can be sure that the NHL is making a hard push to unload some of the dumbest merchandise it’s ever brought to market. Since we’re talking about the NHL, that’s saying quite a lot….
Tuesday: Blackhawks in town Chicago comes to town for the first time since January 2012, a game the Flyers squeaked by 5-4 thanks to a last minute power play goal by James van Riemsdyk. The big news for the Blackhawks will be the impending arrival of Teuvo Teravainen, the 2012 draft pick who just finished…
After a home-and-home with Pittsburgh that could only be described as a wild success for the Flyers, we’ve decided that we’ll celebrate by recording a new episode of BSH Radio tonight at 8 p.m. ET. We (in this case, meaning myself, Charlie, Kevin, Albert, and Collin) will talk a fair bit about the weekend that…
Jen from SB Nation’s Blackhawks blog Second City Hockey sent me some questions about the Flyers on Monday in anticipation of tonight’s game. You can read my answers to them over at SCH. Similarly, I asked her five questions about the Blackhawks; the questions touched on the final month of the Blackhawks’ season, the Kane/Toews…
We’ve been privy to Sean Couturier’s defensive ability for some time now, and after two wins against the Pittsburgh Penguins this weekend in which Couturier was matched up against Sidney Crosby, the broadcast booths of the nationally televised games were heaping on the praise as well. For all of the great work that Couturier does,…
9 – The number of consecutive regular season home wins the Flyers have over the Chicago Blackhawks. Despite the fact that the Blackhawks have been dominant in recent years (see: 2010 Stanley Cup Finals), the Flyers have handled them pretty well at the Wells Fargo Center. You have to go all the way back to…
