Losses on Tuesday and Thursday of this past week aside, the Flyers have been one of the hottest teams in the league over the last few weeks. They are currently crawling into the playoff picture, with at least a game in hand on each team in front of them. After a streaky start to the…
Yesterday, we made fun of Penguins fans for failing to sell out tonight’s game against the Flyers in Pittsburgh. Then again, we can’t really blame them for not wanting to spend their money on hockey tickets — their team hasn’t beaten the Flyers since October 17, 2013. That’s $60 bucks that could go to a…
What if we got it all wrong and shootouts, instead of being bad, are actually good? We’re not prepared to go that far after this evening. But one of the more wild 2-1 hockey contests you’ll ever see ended up falling the Flyers‘ way, as a great performance when it mattered by the team’s two…
So, the good news in this Flyers season is that we’re more than halfway through it and we’re not already looking forward to the 2016 NHL Draft. But the league carries on without us, and thusly, NHL Central Scouting released its midterm ranking for the 2016 Draft on Tuesday. American-born players lead the rankings on…
Sean Couturier is day-to-day with what the Flyers are calling a lower-body injury and he’ll miss Thursday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. We thought he had an upper-body injury — he was reportedly seen getting an examination on his jaw — but who the hell knows. In any event, it’s a big blow to…
Coming off of two losses last week in which the Flyers were outskated for the majority of the game, it wouldn’t have surprised anyone to see head coach Dave Hakstol shake up his lineup a bit. It does appear we’ll see at least one new face in the lineup tonight as the Flyers take on…
Back in December, the Philadelphia Flyers began to establish a reputation as a third period team, capable of improbable comebacks and unlikely wins. Recently, the pendulum has started to swing the other way. Though a Wayne Simmonds tally in the third period tied the contest at 2-2, Brett Connolly was able to deflect a point…
The Flyers have lost three straight games, and heading into the 2016 All-Star Break on a four-game losing streak would be pretty terrible. Luckily, their opponent on Wednesday night, the final game before that break is … oh, the best team in hockey? Well, crap. The Washington Capitals are really, really good … leading the…
When forward Sam Gagner was sent down to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on December 31st, the roster situation for the Philadelphia Flyers was far different than it is today. The Flyers needed to clear roster and cap space to keep defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere on the team following the return of Mark Streit. Instead of sending…
Here at Broad Street Hockey, we love to make ridiculous predictions at the start of the season so that our readership can have endless material that they can use to prove that we have no idea what we’re talking about. To that end, the great Kurt R. created the Over/Under game, where we use our…
