Personally, my only real requirement for today’s hockey game was that the Flyers leave it without any serious injuries. There were a couple of scares on that front (namely, Claude Giroux blocking a shot in the third period and heading off the ice, before inexplicably coming back into the game), but it appears that we’re…

With the Flyers‘ playoff spot having been clinched since Tuesday, and with them having an extra forward spot in the lineup due to Zac Rinaldo’s suspension, Craig Berube has used the past few games to try some different looks with the Flyers’ forward lines. 14 different guys have played in those forward spots, and a…
When the Flyers traded for Andrew MacDonald near the trade deadline, we here at Broad Street Hockey weren’t overly thrilled with the acquisition. I was, however, interested to see him in a vastly different role with the Flyers. What I saw … was pretty good. It made me think “how are his underlying numbers so…
Following the Olympic break, the Flyers‘ playoff chances were far from assured. They were second in the Metropolitan Division, but only held a slim lead over the New York Rangers, Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets. At that point, even the Devils were still in the running. Combine that with a hellish March in terms…
The Flyers have signed defenseman Andrew MacDonald to a six-year contract extension, the team announced this morning.

The junior defenseman, drafted in 2012 by the Philadelphia Flyers, just won the national championship with Union College and was named the most outstanding player of the Frozen Four.

THE PLAYOFFS ARE FINALLY HERE! Now that that’s out of the way, it’s time for you to make some plans for Game 1 this coming Thursday. Why should you sit at home watching by yourself when you could join over 50 people in Philly Phaithful’s gigantic showroom, get free drinks, laugh at Dan Carcillo and…
Steve Mason has an upper-body injury. It might be a concussion, it might not be. Flyers won’t say. In any event, his injury is enough to keep him out of Game 1 against the New York Rangers on Thursday. Steve Mason will NOT play tomorrow. — Sarah Baicker (@sbaickerCSN) April 16, 2014 Ray Emery will…
