Steve Mason is having an unreal season, and most of us think he’ll grab the Bobby Clarke Trophy as the Philadelphia Flyers team MVP for 2014-15. It couldn’t be more true that the Flyers are wasting a great year by Mason — the best of his career, including his rookie year in which he won…
Last Wednesday, we at BSH looked at who we thought should win the team’s most valuable player award, or the Bobby Clarke Trophy. Yesterday, we said who we believed should win the Pelle Lindbergh Memorial Trophy for the most improved player on the team. Today, we’ll look at the final two awards the Flyers will…
The season ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper. Those hoping for a fast-paced game, with the Ottawa Senators desperate to make the playoffs and complete their improbable second half comeback were surely disappointed. The Senators were surprisingly sleepy throughout, but were lucky to face a Philadelphia Flyers squad that was even more…
ALLENTOWN— The Phantoms wouldn’t let fans end the season without at least one more nerve-wracking win, despite the standings. Friday, Lehigh Valley put on another show for fans, as they forced the last-place Admirals into overtime and eventually a shootout to earn their sixth win over their East Division foe this season by a score…
Tuesday night’s last second victory over the New York Islanders could have been described in quite a number of ways. “Boring” was not one such term. On the other hand, tonight’s marquee matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes could not be called anything else. The Hurricanes have given the Flyers fits all year. They combine very…
The Philadelphia Flyers‘ offseason begins, for all intents and purposes, today, as the Flyers clean out their lockers and do exit interviews with team staff. And thus begins three-plus months of all sorts of the hockey world’s speculation about what will be done to improve a Flyers team coming off of one of its worst…
No other way to put this. Either Vincent Lecavalier goes or Craig Berube goes. (…. or both?) Vinny on if he sees himself being a part of the #Flyers next year: “Well, I don’t know.” — Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) April 13, 2015 “I like this team. I like the players. But for my future I…
Sean Couturier had a decent offensive year. He had 15 goals and 37 points, good for fifth among Flyers forwards on the season. It’s not ground-breaking or anything, but when you compare it with the fact that coach Craig Berube uses him almost entirely as a defensive specialist, it’s actually kind of impressive. Let’s talk…
Kurt R.: So before the season’s final month or so, when the whole Steve Mason / Jeff Reese / Craig Berube thing happened, I thought that Berube stood a pretty good chance at being retained next year. Fringe team was hanging on the fringe of the playoff race. Then Berube played Mason to the point…
The National Women’s Hockey League, an upstart professional league, held a launch event on Monday night in New York City, announcing some details for their first year. Four teams — the Boston Pride, Connecticut Whale, New York Riveters and Buffalo Beauts — will play this fall. The league plans on kicking off its 2015-16 inaugural…
