This looked really bad — perhaps even malicious — when it happened in real time. Luckily, it seems as though it’s neither. Grossmann stayed down for a while, but eventually got up under his own power. He went right to the dressing room rather gingerly, but quickly returned to the bench. He appears to be…
I’m not really sure what the logic here was, but the Flyers reportedly offered a two-way contract to former Montreal Canadiens defenseman Francis Bouillon last week. Boullion, 39, turned that deal down and we learned today that he signed with a team in Switzerland. Francis Bouillon rejected a one year two way contract from the…
Ron Hextall will say a million times that he “likes his team” and thinks they can compete this season. He’s been saying it since he took over as general manager, and he’ll keep saying it, because he’s not going to call his team bad in front of the media. But I’ve been convinced basically all…
Call it what you want, or call it poetic justice because on Friday night at the Prudential Center it was the Flyers going up and Devils going down. Both James van Riemsdyk and Travis Konecny scored twice, and Cam Talbot made 30 saves in his debut as the Flyers put down the rudely feisty Devils…
Earlier last week, to get ready for the opening week and month of the Philadelphia Flyers‘ season, BSH and Philly Phaithful teamed up to launch a “Countdown to Puckdrop” initiative comprised of a ton of giveaways, a new t-shirt design promotion, the chance to be on our featured podcasts *AND* an all-inclusive watch party. Well,…

Not only are the resurgent Stars expected to be a leader in the Western Conference this season, they’re coming off of two really impressive games against two other Metropolitan Division foes, Columbus and Pittsburgh. Thursday night in Western…
I know Philly.com and the Inquirer are struggling and everything, but this is some irresponsible clickbait bullshit: please stop asking athletes about ebola just because they’re going to dallas pic.twitter.com/mAZ2qqtfcA — Travis Hughes (@TravisSBN) October 17, 2014 “Hey, let’s walk up to professional athletes, who are not doctors, and ask them their thoughts about a…
Police in Trois-Rivières, Que. are on the hunt for a burglar or burglars who robbed the home of former Flyers defenseman André “Moose” Dupont on Thursday night. The bastards stole his 1974 Stanley Cup ring. Voici la bague du Moose : Coupe Stanley 1974 des Flyers. Police de Trois-Rivières au 819.370.6700. pic.twitter.com/NOnhDmeoaC — Luc Gelinas…
Yesterday, I was asked by one of the Staff Editors over at SBNation’s Dallas Stars blog Defending Big D about the first four games of the Philadelphia Flyers season. “How did the team find themselves in this 0-2-2 hole? Was it bad puck luck? Was the team playing as badly as they had been predicted…
In the spirit of trying to learn about the enemy, we sent a few questions about the Dallas Stars over to Defending Big D editor David Wilson. He kindly obliged. Our questions and his answers touch upon the opening week of Dallas’ season, expectations through 2015 and a number of other juicy topics. Enjoy!*** 1)…
