It’s been a week for the Philadelphia Flyers. After a pair of crushing, early-season soul-searching losses to the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars, the Orange and Black responded with some dominant wins over the Vegas Golden Knights and Chicago Blackhawks. The team went from having no bottom six a week ago to the fourth line…
Back-to-back wins? In October? Alright, who is this hockey team and what have they done with the real Flyers? They may have made things interesting at the end, with Chicago dictating play for basically the entire third period, but they held on regardless. A strong second period and decent first lead to the win, but…
The Philadelphia Flyers were back in action at the Wells Fargo Center looking to keep their streak of games going as they hosted the Columbus Blue Jackets. Things got off on the right foot as Jake Voracek gave the Flyers an early lead in the first period. Columbus would answer right back just two minutes…
First Period So far this Flyers season I’d say most of the games have been … entertaining at the very least. Not too many overall boring hockey games outside of the Dallas game and probably the Flames game as well. Maybe that was on theirs and the Blue Jackets’ minds when this game started because…
Heading into a mid-February game vs. Columbus, the Flyers were looking to win their first game at Nationwide Arena in over 12 years. The last time the team had won in the state of Ohio was December of 2005, behind goals from Peter Forsberg, Jeff Carter, and Sami Kapanen. Oh, and to really drive home…
The Flyers are finally back facing against another team from the Eastern Conference, and it’s a division rival to boot. That’s right, the Blue Jackets (5-3-2, 12 points) come to town to take on the Flyers (4-3-1, nine points), who are playing just their second game this season against a team from the Metropolitain with…
Jakub Voracek started this game with a goal to make it 1-0 Flyers; the rest of the game? T’was but a blur of horrific goaltending and defense and not a lot of offensive action. It’s important to not overreact to these kinds of losses, but there was very little to be pleased by with this…
There are a lot of reasons to get excited about an upcoming hockey game. Maybe you’re pumped about playing a divisional rival. Maybe the Flyers are playing a team with some guy you hate (Tom Wilson, hello). Perhaps you’re looking forward to one of the two games against your favorite team in the West. Or…
The Flyers are suddenly one of the hottest teams in the Eastern Conference, but they’ll get a test from the hottest on Sunday night. That’s right, the New York Islanders are scorching hot and winners of six straight heading into a date with the Flyers, who are winners of three straight in their own right….
Well, that sure was an adventure! The Flyers kicked off their weekend of back-to-backs last night at home against the Blue Jackets, and it certainly was an interesting game. The Flyers took the early lead off a goal by Jake Voracek and looked to be picking up some steam, and then gave up two goals,…
