The Flyers entered last week’s California trip as losers of four straight, so maybe a 1-1-1 record against San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles isn’t the worst possible outcome. But … well, Ed Snider might be a little too kind here. “I think it was a very successful trip,” Snider said. “When you think in…
When you’ve lost six straight games, and won exactly one game in the previous 28 days, and have won two road games all season … sometimes things aren’t going your way. And sometimes, it’s also a sign that you’re not playing particularly good hockey. And when you inevitably manage to pull a win out of…
All season, the Flyers have struggled to find secondary scoring behind the dominant Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek. Whoever has played alongside the team’s top two forwards has produced (apologies to Chris VandeVelde), but the team’s other two “scoring” lines have been anything but. Wayne Simmonds started hot, but has cooled dramatically at even strength….
Sometimes it’s hard to pull a ton of words together after watching a game. A lot of the time when that’s the case, though, it’s because you’re left stunned, heartbroken, speechless, etc., due to an incredible ending or an unbelievable game or something like that. It’s hard to come up with a lot to say…
Yes, that’s a thing that needs to be written. Maybe say it out loud to really let the incredulity of it bounce around the room. But mumps have been a big time issue around the NHL this season, with several locker rooms around the league dealing with outbreaks of a disease that most of us…
Each passing day, it sounds more and more like this whole Las Vegas NHL expansion thing is closer to reality. Prospective team owner Bill Foley is starting a ticket drive to gauge local interest in a team, an arena is being built by MGM right behind the New York, New York casino on the Strip,…
Hi, you guys! I came back, and the Flyers won a hockey game! Coincidence? Yes! Let’s all enjoy it though because life is too short not to stop and smell the roses that you stole from the garden of a team that can’t play hockey for shit. All the Flyers scored goals today. First Sean…
The NHL is expanding. Maybe not right this second, and maybe not in the next year or so even, but I would basically bet my life on expansion coming at some point over the next five years. Too many cities want teams, be it Las Vegas, Seattle, Quebec City or elsewhere, and there aren’t enough…
In the spring of 2012, Philadelphia Flyers season ticket holders filed a class-action lawsuit in New Jersey court against Comcast-Spectacor, owners of the team. It was all related to the 2012 Winter Classic. Full-season plan holders claimed that they had purchased 44 games as part of their deal — 41 regular season home games and…
Evgeni Nabokov will be in goal for the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight as they visit the Flyers at Wells Fargo Center. Yes, that Evgeni Nabokov. He’s the backup down there this season, and after usual starter Ben Bishop went down with an injury on Monday night, it’s Nabokov’s turn to go against the Flyers tonight….
