Sometimes we get email about things we write. Usually, the people sending this email fall into two buckets: really nice people (who might agree or disagree with what we’ve written) or really awful people who think we’re total idiots and have no shame in letting us know in the most crude way possible.

So let’s get the important thing out of the way first: Kimmo: if they want me to play Sat., I’m good to go.#Flyers — Sam Carchidi (@BroadStBull) February 26, 2015 It’s finally happening, you guys. Which brings me to this: I’d love to do something like Ottawa’s “Alfie Chant” for Timonen whenever he returns to…
There are few, if any Flyers fans who would have major qualms about trading Lecavalier at the NHL trade deadline. From the start his tenure in Philadelphia has been underwhelming at best and outright detrimental to the team at worst. Given that he is 34 years old, the former superstar is only going to depreciate…
While the 10th-place Flyers were playing the 14th-place Maple Leafs tonight, the internet was understandably more entertained by a photo of a dress. Some people think this dress in the photo is white and gold, like you would wear to a summer wedding or a toga party or maybe a super fancy Flyers playoff game….
We were kind of hoping that Jaromir Jagr would end up with the New York Islanders at this NHL trade deadline, just so he could have played for every Old Atlantic Division club in his career. But instead he’s going to the Florida Panthers, traded on Thursday evening in exchange for two draft picks. Old…
When the Flyers didn’t waive a player to make room for Kimmo Timonen to return on Saturday night, it raised a few red flags. Either the team could somehow waive somebody on gameday through some clause in the CBA, or a defenseman was on the move. What unfolded caught nearly everybody by surprise as instead…
We’re already preparing for Kimmo Timonen’s return with #KimmoChant. Philly Phaithful caught wind of the movement yesterday, so they’ve decided to re-press and offer a final sale on their original ‘Kimmo Timo’ t-shirt. Broad Street Hockey readers can use the coupon code “kimmotimo” to get 10 percent off the purchase and a free orange koozie….
According to Comcast SportsNet, the Philadelphia Flyers are actively searching for a deal that will send Braydon Coburn out of town before the NHL trade deadline on Monday. Flyers hoping to move Braydon Coburn by Monday. Teams are calling. — Tim Panaccio (@tpanotchCSN) March 1, 2015 No word on which teams are interested in Coburn’s…
Back when the Flyers went on a nine-game point streak that spanned much of February, there was a lot of talk about how the team — despite clawing back into the playoff race — wasn’t really playing particularly good hockey, squeaking by most nights thanks to some fortunate luck and circumstance. Since that streak ended,…
The trade of Kimmo Timonen on Friday night told us one big thing: Ron Hextall is a man of his word. Since taking over the Flyers general manager job last year, Hextall has been unrelenting in his insistence that the team will not deviate from its path — that they won’t sacrifice the long-term vision…
