*Ahh, its finally game day. That break felt pretty long. The Flyers are up in Buffalo tonight to take on the streakingly-hot Sabres and it looks like we’re getting Alex Lyon! Party time! [Philly.com] *Twenty games seems like a good benchmark for passing some judgments. And so we’ve done just that, first diving into the…
Ah, the chill of late November air. The Flyers are now 20 games into the 2018-2019 season and, with a record of 9-9-2, sit ninth in the Eastern Conference, sixth in the Metropolitan Division. Things have been… interesting(?) to say the least so it felt like the perfect time to have a roundtable discussion. Today…
The Flyers have dropped three straight after beating Chicago last weekend, the season is taking on an ominous similarity to last year’s, and this point in the schedule is beginning to mirror last season’s 10-game debacle. But not everything is garbage, with the power play perhaps turning the corner, although the penalty kill is on…
Ahh, the Rangers. We’re supposed to hate them a lot, right? Hard to muster the energy really, what with the food hangover and whatnot. We spoke with Vinny Milani of the Powerplay 904 podcast to get a handle on what to expect from today’s matinee. We cover: The recent Spooner for Strome trade Rebuilding on…
Did you expect the Buffalo Sabres to be a top-of-the-conference team a quarter of the way through the season? I sure didn’t, but here we are! The Flyers will spend Thanksgiving Eve in Buffalo facing off against Jack Eichel and the Buffalo Sabres. We had a nice little chat with Chad DeDominicis from Die By…
In continuation of our roundtable discussion from yesterday, today we will be taking a look at how the defensemen and goaltenders (which we evidently have a lot less thoughts about) have performed through the first twenty games of the season. Like the forwards, the defensemen needed to play in a minimum of ten games to…
Check out Sounds From The Locker Room, following Saturday afternoon’s solid effort, furious comeback, and heartbreaking overtime stanza. Hear from Claude Giroux (2 assists), Sean Couturier (1 goal, 1 assist), James van Riemsdyk (1 goal, 2 assists), head coach Dave Hakstol, and more following what was, if nothing else, a pretty entertaining game. Also, Calvin…
NHL teams (not named the Philadelphia Flyers) are making coaching changes early this year, and we break down all of the moves on Ice Sport Radio. Craig Berube in for Mike Yeo! (For now.) Ken Hitchcock in for Todd McLellan! Peter Chiarelli’s continued follies are also discussed, as is the Toronto Maple Leafs’ inexplicable (not…
The Flyers are coming off of a well-deserved victory against the Rangers yesterday afternoon that may have them a little tuckered out, but the Leafs played yesterday too so we can’t use back-to-back games as an excuse to come out slow in this game. It’s no secret that the Maple Leafs are a better team…
What’s worse than the political arguments you’re going to get in with your extended family today? The Flyers. You sat through that game, you might as well listen to the postgame reaction to get your blood boiling early on this holiday.
