You saw Kimmo Timonen honored before the Flyers game on Wednesday night. (If you didn’t, go here.) During the first intermission of the game, Kimmo talked to the Philadelphia media, where he said that he hopes to bring a Stanley Cup to Philadelphia someday — even though he’s no longer a player. “I had a…
Steve Mason is back with the Flyers, practicing and getting ready to get back in the lineup on Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars. He expects to be in the lineup for that game after missing the last two. He spoke to the media in Voorhees on Friday morning and noted that the family issue…
1. Michal Neuvirth has started two games for the Philadelphia Flyers. He has two shutouts. 2. People are now stringing the words “goalie” and “controversy” together when discussing the Flyers’ situation in the crease. (Go search Twitter for “goalie controversy” and see for yourself. Or look at the post-game, where members of the Philadelphia media…
A rock solid penalty kill and late-game heroics from goaltender Michal Neuvirth helped the Philadelphia Flyers to their first win of the season in their home opener against the Florida Panthers.

Last Thursday evening I took some time to speak with friend of the blog Steve Jacot, of Pattison Avenue and Flyperbole (and former Flyers Faithful) fame, on his podcast known as the Flyperbolecast. We talked about the Flyers’ respectable start to the season, among other things, and a good time was had by all. As…
Let’s be real about it: hockey sucks on television, and it’s probably one of the main reasons why it’s not as popular as it could be in the United States. The game is hard to follow and the rules can be complex and hey where’s the puck and holy crap they’re going fast and what…
Following a 3-0 victory over the defending champion Chicago Blackhawks, there was good reason for optimism among the Philadelphia Flyers faithful. But after watching the team get outplayed for the majority of another contest against a Western Conference power, maybe that optimism should be tempered a bit. Led by star forwards Jamie Benn and Tyler…
After a stellar preseason, Steve Mason looked poised to build off his Vezina-caliber 2014-15 performance this season. Unfortunately, a family issue stopped Mason in his tracks, contributing to a poor game against the Florida Panthers and causing the goalie to miss two starts. But tonight, it looks like Mason is ready to go. The Flyers‘…
Philadelphia Flyers fans were given a chance to celebrate the career of Kimmo Timonen tonight at the Wells Fargo Center. The Flyers players were far more concerned with dominating the defending champions. Michal Neuvirth posted his second consecutive shutout as the Flyers both outplayed and outscored the Chicago Blackhawks for a 3-0 victory. Particularly in…
