Steve Mason obviously had a slow start to his season, and it’s a big reason why the Philadelphia Flyers had a slow start. After all, bad goaltending is a chief reason why the team remains near the basement in the goals against category, and it’s the reason that until last night, the Flyers were out…
Oh hey, remember hockey? It was that sport that you liked once upon a time, back before some jolly dude dressed in red committed home invasion against billions of people this past weekend. The world is obviously reeling from this brazen crime spree, but have no fear — sports are a distraction from the difficulties…
Tonight at 10 p.m., the Philadelphia Flyers will hit the ice against the Colorado Avalanche in search of their 10th straight win. If they pull it off, it’ll be the first time in more than 30 years since they’ve won 10 games in a row. That last 10-game streak came in October and November of…
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…
After Tuesday’s contest against the Bruins, one in which the most frequent frustrating game narrative of the Flyers’ season (play well for most of the game, have some bad defensive breakdowns/penalty-killing/poor goaltending, lose) was flipped on its head (team plays terribly for most of the game, is bailed out by its goaltending, wins in shootout),…
Wayne Simmonds now has 10 goals on the season. It took him 20 games to get there, and we knew it was going to happen, because Simmonds is a goal scorer. He has the most for the Philadelphia Flyers, after all. Next in line is Jakub Voracek with seven. But of course, this isn’t anything…
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…
Today’s game can be seen on CSN Philly, or streaming live on CSNPhilly.com or the NBC Sports app. The local radio broadcast can be heard on 97.5 The Fanatic. In Texas, the game is on Fox Sports Southwest and Canadians can see the game on Sportsnet One. NHL.tv and NHL Center Ice have coverage everywhere…
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…
Claude Giroux has been to the All-Star Game before. Wayne Simmonds has not. So like any good captain, Giroux had some advice for his teammate. Dear @Simmonds17, make sure you keep your clothes on for tomorrow’s game. Love, Claude. #perrycreepingintheback pic.twitter.com/1TM52yqUWV — Claude Giroux (@28CGiroux) January 29, 2017 Aw, G cares. This, of course, is…
