The thing about context is that it’s really damn important. If I tell you that I have a second head growing out of my rib cage, but you ignore the part where I explain it was for a Halloween costume one year, you’re missing pretty important context, you know? If Claude Giroux says the Flyers…
It’s been a few months since Evander Kane trade rumors popped up, so frankly we were pretty due for this. The Winnipeg Jets forward was a healthy scratch Tuesday night after apparently breaking a team rule by wearing a track suit to a meeting instead of an actual suit. Ink was spilled, feelings were hurt,…
After news broke last week, we all suspected this would happen — Kimmo Timonen has been cleared to skate after being sidelined for the entire season. Timonen announced the news via his foundation’s Twitter earlier this evening: Finally got some good news today!! Back to skating tomorrow after 8 months of RESTING.I will probably feel…
With only 31 games left in the season, we’ve reached the point where results may be more important than process. The Flyers are chasing a playoff spot, however fruitless the pursuit may seem, and they need wins to get there. Whether those wins come from dominating possession or their goaltender standing on his head, it…
Evander Kane still on the move? The Flyers have long held interest in Winnipeg Jets left winger Evander Kane, and as we went over the other day, it’s for good reason. He’s a really, really good player and the idea of him next to Jakub Voracek and Claude Giroux on the Flyers top line is…
Kimmo Timonen is skating this morning, and that’s just a beautiful thing. The Flyers defensemen announced last night that he would return to the ice by himself for a few weeks with the hopes of suiting back up and playing NHL hockey this season. He’s not going to be here next year, and he made…
I always found it ironic that it’s nearly impossible to get a strong wireless Internet signal inside of Wells Fargo Center, yet when you look up there are giant “WELCOME TO COMCAST COUNTRY” signs on each side of the arena. In any event, maybe that’s going to change. The Wells Fargo Center is upgrading its…
That was a huge win for the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday afternoon in Washington. A strong road win against a really good team, the Flyers somehow held the Capitals to just 13 shots despite giving up six power plays in the game. Losing Steve Mason in the game hurts a lot, especially if it’s a…
When the Flyers and Capitals get together, the last thing people expect is a low-event game — but that’s exactly what we all saw this afternoon. Even classifying the game as “low-event” is being pretty generous, as each team finished with only 41 attempts and Philadelphia held Washington to 11 even-stength shots in what turned…
If you really take a look at it, it’s crazy how the game can change in the span of one sixteen minute intermission. The Flyers, coming off of one of their best road wins of the season, started the game with what might have been one of their best periods of neutral zone play in…
