That was just a terrible freakin’ game. Ugly. Awful. Not even close to enough jam in that one, boys. The Philadelphia Flyers, one night after a crazy come back at the Wells Fargo Center, laid an egg on Long Island, falling 5-3 to the New York Islanders on Sunday. Nobody played particularly well, but Carter…
Not a lot of things went right for the Philadelphia Flyers tonight as they dropped a 5-3 decision to the New York Islanders on Long Island. Jakub Voracek, Travis Konecny, and Claude Giroux registered goals in the loss, while Carter Hart stopped just nine of 14 shots on the night before he was pulled in…
Yo! Brian Elliott! After a week that was highly criticized by fans for featuring too many starts by the goaltender not named Carter Hart, Elliott has earned himself a spot of national recognition. Presenting Brian Elliott, NHL’s Third Star of The Week: Elliott compiled a 3-0-0 record, 2.02 goals-against average and .933 save percentage in…
Last week we ran a poll for NHL fans to voice their opinions on which 2018-19 playoff teams would make the playoffs this season and which were going to miss – the results are in! Well that’s cool! People outside of extremely biased Flyers fans think they will make a postseason appearance this year! I…
Back in May, during my expectations series, I wrote the following on Travis Konecny: There’s a lot to be excited about with Travis Konecny. He has exciting speed, great skill, and can use those abilities to produce spectacular goals. Even if he is unable to carry a line to success, he makes for a top…
On June 3, The Philadelphia Flyers traded a fifth-round pick to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for 27-year-old center Kevin Hayes’s exclusive negotiating rights. Hayes would become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 if a pact was not agreed to beforehand. Two weeks later, the orange and black got their guy. Hayes inked a…
In the 2011 off-season, the Flyers handed the reigns to Claude Giroux. Captain Mike Richards and leading goal scorer Jeff Carter were dealt to Los Angeles and Columbus respectively. Giroux was coming off of a breakout season where he scored 76 points on the season, after he was a top point producer in the 2010…
The Flyers are coming off a big stink and would do well to do a complete 180 in their next match, which, as luck would have it, is those Pittsburgh Penguins. We talk with Garrett Behanna of Pensburgh and the Pensburgh Podcast to talk historical rivalries, fan bases, and how these two team line up…
*In a season of Flys and Dies, last night was certainly A Die. It was a bad game. It’s been two bad games in a row. Really bad games. It’s, well, not ideal, and quite frankly incredibly disappointing given how well this team had been playing. Relive that game, if you dare. [BSH] *Vigneault admitted…
For the first time this season, the Flyers will take on their cross-state rivals in the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins got off to a surprising hot start, bolstered by a five game win streak that sent their record to 6-2-0. Since then, they’ve lost three out of their last four — although they did win…
