VOORHEES — When the Flyers go for their 10th consecutive victory in Colorado on Wednesday, they’ll be doing so with Shayne Gostisbehere back on the ice. After missing the 1-0 win over Detroit on Sunday with an injury he suffered the game before when Dallas’ Jordie Benn struck his right hand, Gostisbehere’s status remained day-to-day….
Flyers prospect Tanner Laczynski is one of 27 players who were named to the preliminary Team USA roster for the 2017 World Junior Championships, which will be held Dec. 26 through Jan. 5 in Toronto and Montreal. Laczynski, selected by the Flyers in the 6th round of the 2016 NHL Draft, is one of 16…
Everyone loves Ivan Provorov. It’s impossible not to: he’s a rookie defenseman who is a massive part of the Philadelphia Flyers, averaging 20:56 a game – the most on the team already. Throw in 15 points in 34 games, and the fact that he’s all of 19 years old, and wow, what a player already,…
LOS ANGELES — John Tortorella of the Columbus Blue Jackets was supposed to be the head coach of the Metropolitan Division All-Stars here this weekend. He opted out, however, to care for his son’s — an Army Ranger on deployment — ailing dog. So the Metro team needed a replacement, and … well, who better…
Back on home ice after four games away, the Flyers are also back on RIVALRY NIGHT as they host the New York Rangers in a nationally televised affair on NBCSN this Wednesday evening. The Flyers enter the game with a game in hand over New York, but after a rough road trip, the find themselves…
Your browser does not support iframes. So as it turns out, it’s pretty easy to get under the skin of a 19-year-old. Even if that 19-year-old is the best player in the NHL. You’ve all heard by now what Connor McDavid said about Brandon Manning last night. It’s in the video above, and also here…
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…
The Flyers are in a bit of a funk, having won just two of their last 11 games, and right before they hit their five-day bye week next week they’ve got a back-to-back against two very tough division rivals in Boston and Washington on Saturday and Sunday of this weekend. As such, winning the game…
It took two games for Anthony Stolarz to get a shutout. And it wasn’t one of those easy ones, either, or ones in which he had a big lead to work with; it was a 28-save 1-0 overtime win. That’s impressive. Stolarz has two wins in his first two games. He already bucked rookie Flyers…
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…
