If you missed the NHL’s first ever official 3-on-3 overtime last night, hoooo boy, did you ever miss something. Good thing this is the Internet and people have recording capability and YouTube, because hey, here it is below. The future is pretty cool. That was pretty akin to this: Some thoughts: I counted six scoring…
After an embarrassing 7-1 loss on Saturday night to the Florida Panthers, some lineup tweaks for the Philadelphia Flyers‘ rematch against those same Panthers were expected. While much of the loss could be pinned on a terrible performance by goalie Steve Mason, a lopsided score gave coach Dave Hakstol the justification to swap an underperforming…
That didn’t take long. Just a few months after officially retiring from the NHL, and doing so in a news conference at Skate Zone in Voorhees, former Flyers forward Danny Briere has a job with the team. Via NJ.com, Briere said that he’s working in a part-time capacity “learning the ropes” of management with Flyers…
Through three games, the Philadelphia Flyers‘ dynamic duo of Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek have been stymied in terms of offensive production. So far this season, Giroux has only one assist (via the power play) and Voracek has yet to make an appearance on the scoresheet. Obviously, it’s early. And three games are not nearly…
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly are in Philadelphia tonight to award a $950,000 check to the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Association on behalf of the league and the NHLPA.

Here’s the video of the video played to honor Kimmo: Your browser does not support iframes. And here’s video of the ceremonial puck drop with Kimmo, Chicago…
Steve Mason wasn’t on the ice during the morning skate at Wells Fargo Center today, and it’s because he’ll be out of tonight’s lineup due to what the team is calling “a personal family matter.” “Flyers goaltender Steve Mason is out of tonight’s line-up due to a personal family matter. No other details are available.”…
The Philadelphia Flyers have loaned goaltender Jason LaBarbera back to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the team announced Thursday morning. LaBarbera served as the backup goalie to Michal Neuvirth the last two games after usual starter Steve Mason left the team due to “a family matter.” Mason returned to practice on Wednesday, but did not suit…
BSH: The Blackhawks lost a lot this summer. Patrick Sharp, Brandon Saad, others. What kind of hit will the team take from these departures? Adam Hess: The damage that those losses does to the team’s success is really going to depend how well Artemi Panarin, Teuvo Teravainen, and (eventually) Marko Dano perform this season. While…
