For the love of God, please tell me that you didn’t fall that thing that the stoner kid from junior year of high school posted on Facebook? Because all of these other clowns did: It was from NHLTradeRumors.me, for eff’s sake. They can’t even afford a .com domain name, and you think they’re plugged into…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Third period went from great to awful quickly A recurring issue for the Flyers under Dave Hakstol has been play with the lead in the third period. Last season, it was a certainty — the team would…
For some reason, talks of a ghost bear have taken over the general Philadelphia area. This has been going on for roughly a year now. Can’t for the life of me figure out why. In a completely unrelated story, Shayne Gostisbehere is on pace for 41 points this season, and is currently the highest scoring…
The Flyers’ ongoing win streak has been the product of a lot of strong individual efforts from many different guys on this team. Today, the wheel landed on Brayden Schenn, and though he waited just a bit longer than the Flyers faithful maybe would have liked him to, Schenn came through at just the right…
The Philadelphia Flyers have not had a streak of seven straight wins since the 2001-02 season, when they won eight straight in the month of January on their way to a division title. Two of those wins came against the Atlanta Thrashers, a team that does not even exist anymore. A win tonight against the…
I wasn’t really expecting this, but hey, cool: Stars defenseman Jamie Oleksiak has been suspended two games for picking the head on a hit against Chris VandeVelde on Saturday afternoon. Here’s the explanation from the NHL Dept. of Player Safety: The basic argument is that yeah, VandeVelde had the puck and was eligible to be…
Dave Hakstol seems to think that a game in the press box will help Shayne Gostisbehere. After all, he’s never really faced any adversity so far in his NHL career, and by benching him as a healthy scratch for tonight’s game against the Winnipeg Jets, Hakstol is hoping that Ghost will have a chance to…
It’s been quite a first half of the season for Anthony Stolarz. Drafted in the second round of the 2012 NHL draft, Stolarz has been a member of the Philadelphia Flyers for several years now. It’s only been since the 2014-15 season he’s played professionally, but this season was the next in a line of…
The Philadelphia Flyers play their Stadium Series game against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Heinz Field on Feb. 25, and they’re probably going to look pretty cool out there. Steve Mason, in particular, appears to be going all-in – at least, if the first look at his special pads are any occasion. Steve Mason’s pads for…
Flyers defenseman Andrew MacDonald, who is in the third year of a six-year, $30 million contract, has not had a particularly good 2016-17 season to date. We can argue about how not-good it has been, or what the causes of it are, but we’ll save that discussion for another time (for instance, almost any of…
