Let’s begin this with an acknowledgement of the obvious: Brian Elliott has played in two full games in this hockey season, along with a relief effort in a third when Carter Hart was pulled from a game in Edmonton. That is not enough time to draw meaningful conclusions about any facet of a hockey team…
The Flyers grabbed an early power play thanks to the work of Claude Giroux and bah gawd is that Joel Farabee’s music? It was, and he was out there with the first unit, but another youngster would steal the spotlight. Taking on the excellent Golden Knights penalty kill, it was the Flyers taking this battle…
Joel Farabee’s call-up from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms was a breath of fresh air for Philadelphia Flyers fans. While the season is still young, bringing up a rookie forward, who just barely missed the cut out of camp, after only four games in the AHL (3 goals, 1 assist) is a sign to all of…
5 — the number of 5-on-4 power play goals the Flyers have scored, in seven games so far this season, without Claude Giroux on the ice. We’ll just cut right to the point on this one. The Flyers have already scored more goals via their second power play unit (which we’ll define for the purposes…
New year, new me? New week, new Flyers? Something like that. After dropping their first game back from a disappointing Western Canadian road trip in even more disappointing fashion to the Stars on Saturday, the Flyers took a couple of days to regroup, and they were right back at it last night against the Golden…
The Philadelphia Flyers began a new week with hopes of flipping the switch and ending a four-game skid. Joel Farabee made his NHL debut and got the traditional lone skate during pregame warmups. The Flyers got to work early as Travis Konecny continued his hot start to the season with a great shot through traffic,…
Did we have a nice extra day off, folks? The Flyers are back tonight and, oh, would you look at that, they’re on the road again. They’re in Chicago tonight to face off against the Blackhawks, closing out the season series. You surely remember, but we’ll remind you because it was great, but the Flyers…

Brian Elliott would pick right back up where he left off against the Golden Knights with a pair of grade-A stops in the first few minutes, including this gem on Andrew Shaw.

To be completely honest, I was very disappointed when Chuck Fletcher announced that he has re-signed Michael Raffl. Raffl was heading into his age 31 season, and was coming off of a dismal 18 point season where he didn’t really drive play either. So, when his two year, $1.6 million AAV contract was announced, I…
