6. The Phantoms return to Pennsylvania. After five long years away from the Commonwealth, the Phantoms returned home to Pennsylvania in October, moving into a beautiful new building in the center of Allentown. They might not be in Philadelphia any more — and you know what? There’s a damn parking lot where the Spectrum used…

We’ll keep this short and sweet since it’s now 2015 where most of you are reading this. The Flyers lost their third straight game tonight, the second straight against a bottom-dwelling Western Conference team. There were four lead changes when all was said and done, as the Flyers led at the end of the first,…
The NHL does not allow for games, practices, travel or any team activity to take place on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or December 26. It’s in the collective bargaining agreement and is the law of the land, and it looks as though the Philadelphia Flyers violated that rule this year. Here’s a look at the…
In Friday night’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes, Flyers fans were brought to a panic. In the third period while killing a penalty, Claude Giroux found himself in the wrong place when Hurricanes defenseman Justin Faulk dropped his skate right down on the Flyers captain’s ankle. It looked … well, pretty awful: After that video…
The Flyers definitely are not one of the top teams in the NHL — let’s get that out of the way right now. However, they aren’t a bottom team either and are much better than recent results have shown. By no means am I suggesting or advocating a knee-jerk reaction of firing Craig Berube, as…
Alright, let’s just cut to the chase here. Allison said some similar things in her recap of last night’s loss in Carolina, so I don’t really want to bludgeon you all over the head with it again, but we’re running out of options here. There are a lot of reasons for the Flyers suffering a…
It was around this time last season when defenseman Nicklas Grossmann had probably his worst month as a member of the Philadelphia Flyers. The defenseman had never been one to provide stellar possession statistics, but in January 2014, everything cratered. His advanced stats, already below-average, fell to horrific levels. The wave of goals against unsurprisingly…
In the second period of Tuesday night’s game between the Flyers and Ottawa Senators, Brayden Schenn went down to the ice, and he found himself looking point-blank at the bottom of Wayne Simmonds’ feet. Hockey players have sharp blades attached to their feet, so this was bad for Schenn. Wonder if Brayden Schenn comes back…
Really cool video here … Claude Giroux, Scott Hartnell, Sidney Crosby, Ryan Miller and some other NHL stars recently laced up the skates and strapped into a sled, surprising some sledge hockey players and taking to the ice with them. It’s an inspirational little 3 minute video, and it’s even better because …. yes, there’s…
