Series tied 1-1 I’m not sure I’ve ever entered a Flyers playoff game quite as resigned as I was today. The Flyers looked horrendous in Game 1, and once Steve Mason said he was still too upper body injured to play in Game 2, I gave up all hope. But then: twist! The Flyers won…
.016 — the difference in save percentage through the first two games of the series between Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist and Flyers goalie Ray Emery. We all knew that going into the series goaltending was going to be a huge advantage for the Rangers, what with Lundqvist being one of the three or so best…
Following Thursday’s loss in Game 1 of the Flyers‘ series with the Rangers, we went through the matchups that took place in the game and ultimately didn’t find a ton of noteworthy trends. Let’s do the same for Sunday’s win in Game 2, briefly going through all three matchup tables with some quick thoughts. Flyers…
Steve Mason is still injured. The Flyers goaltender skated again Monday morning in Voorhees but is still feeling the effects of his upper-body injury — can we just call it a concussion yet? — and will not be ready to start or even sit on the bench in Game 3 on Tuesday. Ray Emery will…
Right before the Flyers–Rangers series began on Thursday, we swapped questions with our Rangers friends over at Blueshirt Banter, SB Nation’s Rangers blog. Two games later, the series is tied at 1, and we decided to do it again. Thanks to Mike “Dig Deep” Murphy over at BSB for answering my questions below. *** 1….

Playoff hockey returns to the Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday night as the Flyers host the Rangers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round. The Flyers got the job done in New York and now hold home ice advantage in the series, but let’s be real: they still can and will need to…
Flyers coach Craig Berube When you have someone like Giroux who did a lot of things in the last game away from the puck, tremendous on the back check, but is struggling to get shots off, what do you say to him? Do you tell him to just carry it more to have more of…
Jeremy Roenick was on WIP on Monday, and he told the story of when Craig Berube punched him in the face in the Flyers locker room. It all started at some point between 1990 and 1993, when Chief was a tough guy with the Flyers and Roenick was a young star with the Blackhawks, and…
Recap will probably be up a bit late but here’s what just happened: * The Flyers lost 4-1. Got out to a slow start (again), rallied to within a goal late in the first (again), but then it all just kinda fell apart from there. Henrik Lundqvist was finally tested a bit but he was…
