Ranked 10th the NHL entering Tuesday night’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Philadelphia Flyers‘ power play has been a strength of the team throughout most of the season. However, after every failed power play opportunity at the Wells Fargo Center, the Flyers’ relative struggles at home on the power play versus the road are…
5 – The number of posts the Flyers hit last night against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Flyers had a hell of a time converting in last night’s game, despite a good number of high quality shots. Seriously, the Wells Fargo Center sounded like a church on Sunday with all the ringing that happened in that…

The Flyers continue their home stand tonight, facing off against the playoff hopeful Dallas Stars. Let’s hope they pick things up right where they left off the other night. The past week has been great if you’re a Flyers fan — two solid wins against Pittsburgh and an overtime win against the Blackhawks are bound…
Hey guys, it’s me, or the hollowed-out husk of the person I used to be. Is any of this worth it without Wayne Simmonds? Be honest. Does any of this matter? The Flyers won tonight, and it made me happy, until I remembered the whole thing about Wayne Simmonds, and now I’m sad again. Please…
In the spirit of trying to learn about the enemy, we sent a few questions about the Dallas Stars over to Defending Big D managing editor Brad Gardner. He kindly obliged. Our questions and his answers touch upon the Jamie Benn/Tyler Seguin MVP debate, whether or not the Stars have what it takes to make…
20 – The streak of successful Flyers penalty kills that was broken last night. We’ve been fawning over the Flyers’ special teams lately, because, well, they’ve been amazing. Unfortunately, last night we saw a rather epic penalty kill streak get snapped. The number of consecutive successful penalty kills is pretty contentious depending on who you…
For much of tonight’s game, it seemed like the win could go to either team. But thanks to a quick start in the first period, the Flyers were able to emerge victorious against the Stars to earn their fourth straight win. Shortly after the puck dropped, it became clear that this game was pretty evenly…
Shayne Gostisbehere isn’t going to win the 2014 Hobey Baker Award, given annually to the best player in college hockey. That honor is going to Boston College junior Johnny Gaudreau, a finalist last year and a South Jersey native. But Gostisbehere, a junior at Union College, the second-ranked team in the nation, was named a…
With the Flyers‘ win streak at four games, they’ll get maybe their toughest test yet this Saturday afternoon when they face the team currently sitting atop the entire NHL in the St. Louis Blues — the only team left in the league that the Flyers haven’t faced yet once this season. The teams haven’t played…
