No supplemental discipline for White. — Sam Carchidi (@BroadStBull) January 18, 2016 The hit, which occurred just 2:20 into Sunday night’s game, took Jurco…
Down 2-1 entering the third period against a Eastern Conference playoff contender, the Philadelphia Flyers from back in November may have folded. But that team is long gone, replaced by a sharper, more efficient squad confident in their abilities and Dave Hakstol’s aggressive system. Sparked by a stellar effort from star forwards Claude Giroux and…

Shayne Gostisbehere is special. We all know this. But just how special a hockey player he will become is yet to be determined, and there’s certainly a long way for him to go before we start comparing him to Nicklas Lidstrom, or other Hall of Famers. That said, this is fun: Side-by-side of Ghostisbehere vs….
To outplay the other team and still lose is frustrating. It’s particularly frustrating when that loss comes courtesy of a shootout. The Flyers took it to the Rangers through 65 minutes of play on Saturday afternoon at the Wells Fargo Center, but once the game went into a shootout, the game’s outcome seemed predetermined. A…
