Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Flyers lost the goaltending and 5v5 battles In the wake of a 5-2 loss to a division rival, it’s not going to be easy to pick out positives from the wreckage. At the same time, it remains…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: A sloppy, ridiculously entertaining game The Flyers came away with the 3-2 victory last night courtesy of a shootout win, but despite the fact that only four actual goals were scored between the two clubs, this was…
This is probably the weirdest thing I’ve come across while covering a Flyers game. A couple got married before the game tonight against Washington … in the hallway of the balcony level at the Wells Fargo Center. They were going to get married in their suite, but the Flyers apparently like to turn up the…
Wayne Simmonds is a very good hockey player. Further to that, though, he’s one of those good hockey players that can also fight. Remember, P.K. Subban does not want anyone fighting Wayne Simmonds. Kevin Bieksa, though? Sure, why not? It didn’t turn out to be much of a fight – and losing Simmonds in exchange…

There was a lot of Philadelphia Flyers goodies in Elliotte Friedman’s weekly 30 Thoughts column this week. Some of it related to their actual play (#17, #18), but it’s the stuff off the ice that’s a bit more interesting to discuss, I think. After all, for the most part, we can see pretty much everything…
The holiday season is a time for many things. Hockey, the Philadelphia Flyers winning every game, and figuring out how to stay warm are just three of the things that often make up what can be very busy Decembers. One of the best ways to stay warm is, of course, with a sweater. And ridiculous…
Last year’s schedule was — and I cannot actually confirm this, but it feels like it in my head — a bit of a rarity for the Flyers, as none of their three games against the Boston Bruins were Saturday afternoon outings that inevitably ended in Flyers losses. Those seem to have been a staple…
The lead-up to tonight’s game amongst Flyers fans was largely one of discontent. The Flyers scratched not one but two of their exciting young players in Shayne Gostisbehere and Travis Konecny, making them the proverbial scapegoats from Tuesday’s monstrosity of a game against the Hurricanes. This — coupled with the insertion of other not-exactly-fan-favorites Dale…
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…
