This hit is a bit of a complicated hit. For starters, it’s definitely interference. But other than that, Pierre McGuire is — ugh — right in that Couturier could’ve done a better job taking the hit. That being said, Simon Despres also seemed to go a little bit out of his way to catch Couturier…
These guys have hands. What you don’t see in this GIF is Matt Read jetting from the blue line straight behind Evgeni Malkin, who put in a backcheck worthy of Danny Briere there. This was the game-winning goal, and the Flyers might not remember how to lose in Pittsburgh anymore.
Just when you thought the Flyers defense couldn’t really get much worse, things have gotten much worse. The Flyers announced Friday morning that Braydon Coburn and Andrew MacDonald — the “top” defensive pairing to begin this season — are both out four weeks with lower-body injuries. Braydon Coburn was injured in the season opener in…
Of all the mayhem that escapes from the Penguins–Flyers rivalry, I think my favorite running gag is that on the Western side of the Commonwealth, they truly believe that Sean Couturier is a bad hockey player. Pittsburgh’s belief that Sean Couturier isn’t a good hockey player is my favorite running Flyers-Pens gag pic.twitter.com/GaCXXCCGgc — Travis…
It’s official — Shayne Gostisbehere has been recalled to the Flyers, and is slated to make his NHL debut tomorrow night. Earlier this evening we heard news that Gostisbehere had been designated a healthy scratch for the Phantoms tonight as they take on the Hershey Bears. That justifiably fueled some speculation that the move was…
ALLENTOWN– The Phantoms sure don’t like to disappoint their new fans. Last week the team gave the sold-out crowd at the PPL Center an overtime win, and this week, an explosion in the third period with three goals scored in one minute and 53 seconds to beat Hershey 4-2. It was like rapid fire. It…
When I volunteered to do today’s game preview, I did so mostly expecting to just post the following image and be done with it: soon pic.twitter.com/Y4fpeOeSlJ — Flyers in shootouts (@Kurt_BSH) October 25, 2014 Apparently though I’m expected to actually write other things about the hockey contest tonight. So it goes. The Flyers head into…
After the Flyers finally won their first game of the season last Saturday night, Collin talked a lot about “process” in his recap. With the win, the team finally saw their results match the surprisingly decent underlying statistics they had delivered during the team’s losing streak. This game, on the other hand, was purely a…
Anze Kopitar will be out of the Los Angeles Kings lineup this evening when they play the Philadelphia Flyers, which is of course good news for the home team since Kopitar is really, really dang good at ice hockey. Even better news? The Kings cannot replace him and will play a man short. It’s not…
The Los Angeles Kings are in town as the Flyers continue their insanely difficult October run, this time against the defending champs. With a win tonight, the Flyers would guarantee themselves at least 10 of 20 possible points in the month of October, which given the tough competition and the fact that they’ve lost two…
