Six days between games is downright absurd in the NHL today, but that’s what the Flyers face this week, and it couldn’t really come at a worse time. The Flyers are rolling hot off a three-game winning streak, and they’ve been scoring goals in bunches throughout the streak. Sure, the competition hasn’t been great, but…
Nathan MacKinnon just tapped Luke Schenn in the back, but he had absolutely no need to do so. The result? A legitimate five-minute major penalty against. That pissed off Patrick Roy … quite a bit. This’ll make him more angry, though:
Some incredibly unfortunate news hits the Flyers tonight from their minor league club, who will now be without arguably its top defenseman — and unarguably one of the organization’s most exciting prospects — for quite possibly the rest of the season. INJURY UPDATE: Shayne Gostisbehere has a torn ACL and will have surgery on 11/13….
5. #HartnellDown OK, this isn’t one moment. But we can’t make this list without it. Only Scott Hartnell would take a Twitter joke that was … well, making fun of his complete inability to stay on his skates and turn it into a great cause. Hartnell has donated thousands of dollars since starting the #HartnellDown…
It seems that the Philadelphia media is finally getting with the times regarding new advances in hockey analysis, but their new found reliance on advanced metrics in mainstream writing leaves much to be desired. We don’t need to go into a whole history of mainstream writers’ feelings towards advanced statistics, but the long and short…
Well, at least we got almost a full week to enjoy having a true 0.500 record. Back at the Wells Fargo Center after five days off, the Flyers carried over their sloppy play from the second half of Saturday’s win over the Colorado Avalanche and fell 4-3 to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The narrative for…
ALLENTOWN— The Phantoms kick off a five game home stand with a 3-2 thriller over the Toronto Marlies in front of the largest crowd the PPL Center has hosted this season. Leading the Marlies (5-7-1) by one with two minutes to go, two avoidable penalties by the Phantoms (6-6-1) gave Toronto a 6-on-3 (!) advantage…
So apparently there was a hockey game in Montreal tonight; everybody just forgot to tell the Flyers’ penalty kill that it was happening. A bunch of other weird things happened, so let’s get to some quick thoughts as everybody lets this one digest: Dale Weise had two goals. Yeah, that’s right. If you could bottle…
Lehigh Valley will be without Scott Laughton tonight as they take on the Bears in the teams’ third matchup of the season. The Phantoms (6-6-1) are 1-1 against the Bears (8-6-1), with nine more scheduled with the divisional rival. The last home match against the Bears ended in dramatic fashion (like every home game this…
It’s been a weird past 24 hours and change for the Flyers. If you haven’t been following along and/or have been a little confused, let’s quickly recap. On Monday, a little after 6 p.m. ET, the Flyers — a number of hours removed from their Monday morning practice, and two days clear of their most…
