I think the title just about says it all, huh? We got pretty excited after the Game 1 win, and weren’t really ready for the bloodbath* that followed. But, all the same, we’re still here, and we’ve got ten things we learned to go through. Let’s get into it. *maybe that’s a little dramatic, but…
The bad news going into Game 2 was the absence of Travis Sanheim, as expected, but on the positive side of things tonight also marked the return of defenseman Samuel Morin. Morin, who hadn’t played since January 20th, played most of the game alongside Max Lamarche. This pair had played together earlier in the season,…
YEEEEAAAAH… With the Flyers on the golf course, and hopefully avoiding those pesky exploding clubs, Maddie Campbell joins the gang to discuss Lehigh Valley’s run in the AHL playoffs. Player grades for an upcoming piece on BroadStreetHockey.com and the Roenick/Carcillo Twitter beef are also broken down. Next week we’ll be doing a BSH Radio Mailbag…

They’ve traveled down for a stretch of games in Charlotte (that’s a hard “ch” in that pronunciation *cough* William), with the series tied at one a side, and Lehigh Valley was looking to…
*It’s time for Broad Street Hockey’s player grades for the 2017-2018 hockey season! First up, the ones who did the best.

*After landing the number two overall pick in the last draft, it’s easy to be, shall we say, less-than-impressed by holding #19 this season. But you can find some good stuff there. [NBC Sports Philly] *Speaking of the draft, we continue our look at the possible draftees in our draft profile series. Next up, Filip…
Last night the Phantoms broke the 1-1 series tie with a huge win and were able to reclaim home ice advantage. They are now just two wins away from their first trip to the Eastern Conference Final since 2005 – a year, well, let’s not even go there. Yet. 1. A strong start goes a…
*You may have heard, but the Alex Lyon and the Phantoms had themselves a very impressive Wednesday night. Here’s what we learned.
