Goal 1: Voracek finds Giroux in front On the Flyers first goal against the Los Angeles Kings, Jakub Voracek embarrassed a world-class defenseman in Drew Doughty. Jake snuck in behind the goal and Doughty had no clue who was home until it as too late. When Doughty turned around and got close, Voracek fought him…
The Flyers put on quite the performance tonight, capping their efforts with an overtime goal to seal a win against the Los Angeles Kings. I’m going to be completely honest with you — I never expected the Flyers to put up even a fraction of what they did tonight. They were a, well, not so…
Claude Giroux is an incredibly good hockey player. You’re on this website, so you already know that. We can maybe sit around and debate exactly how incredibly good he is, or where he ranks among the NHL’s elite. But he’s good. No idiot would ever suggest otherwise. Still, he — like any other player, great…
This was initially waived off by the referee, but after they conferred and went to the review, it was pretty clearly a goal. The puck crossed the line and there’s no way that Brayden Schenn forcefully pushed Jonathan Quick and the puck across the blueline. That was merely Quick’s momentum that carried them over the…
Lately, the Flyers have been playing some pretty decent hockey. Against a downright torturous October schedule, they came into tonight one point above the weird NHL-defined “.500” mark, which is pretty great all things considered. And they had a chance to get to an actual .500 record with a win in this game, after putting…
The Flyers carry a three-game win streak into Tampa Bay tonight, where they’ll take on the Lightning. They’ll do it without Shayne Gostisbehere on the blue line, who will sit in the press box and watch Brandon Manning take his spot on the ice, according to reports this morning. We’ll get into that more at…
The Flyers have signed former Blues defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo, a move that undoubtedly hopes to mitigate some of the defensive woes in Philadelphia. Ever since the Braydon Coburn and Andrew MacDonald injuries were announced, rumors have been spreading about the Flyers acquiring a free-agent defenseman. And with Ron Hextall expressing his disdain with having to…
No. No. No. No. I think Michael Raffl just decided to go back to Austria. Lappy might join him.
I’m usually one to get long-winded in my recaps, but the Flyers just wasted my and all of our Saturday nights and I don’t feel like wasting a whole lot more of it, so, by my standards, this recap will be relatively brief. Tonight the Flyers faced an already-not-very-good Florida Panthers team that was missing…
The Flyers enter south Florida coming off a disappointing loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning, but perhaps the return of a familiar face and some line shuffling can help them pull of a win against the Panthers. Of course, the big news of tonight’s game is that we’ll see Vincent Lecavalier back for the first…
