*Remember those halcyon days when being a Flyers fan meant living in a world of hope and optimism (until at least late May when it was inevitably crushed)? It’s early April and it’s all over for us. Bastards. So yeah, last night’s game sucked. Recaps: CSN Philly, Philly.com, BSH. Travis’ bullet points re: Laviolette are…

Eric Wellwood suffered a horrifying injury during the Adirondack Phantoms’ game Sunday vs. Bridgeport when he apparently took a skate to the lower leg, severing his tendon and causing vascular damage — perhaps cutting an artery. Given that it was behind the play and nobody saw it, it’s possible that Wellwood fell into the boards…
*After Saturday we can finally stick a fork in this season (if you hadn’t already). There’s something soothing about that. Relive the excitement. Tonight, the Habs! The Flyers preview the game. *Some good news from the Adirondacks: Scott Laughton scores his first professional goal! (Flyers.com) *The Phantoms also won a marathon shootout against the B-Sens…
*There was a time when that kind of loss would lead to anger and resentment. Not so much anymore. The Flyers help the Sens snap their losing streak, 3-1 was the final. Recap. *It’s really hard not to like this guy. #TeamBryz (CSN Philly) *We got a new guy! (BSH) *Danny Briere seems to indicate…
*Sens tonight. They’re in a freefall, the Flyers‘ playoff hopes are essentially crushed…should be a good time. Preview the game here and be sure to check back for the BSH take at 1:00. *So yesterday NAPGATE 2013 burst into being, with the media going nuts over claims that Ilya Bryzgalov fell asleep during a meeting….
With Kent Huskins going down with a concussion in last night’s game against the Canadiens, the Flyers have recalled defensemen Brandon Manning and … Matt Konan? … from the Adirondack Phantoms.

*Devils tonight! They’re 0-6-4 in their last 10, the Flyers are 6-4-0. Hopefully the FrankenDefense can deliver three in a row! Preview! *This is beautiful. Boston strong, without question. (SCoC) *One positive down this season’s homestretch is Sean Couturier’s increased ice time. FINALLY. (The Checking Line) *Zac Rinaldo and Jay Rosehill signed two-year extensions yesterday….
*Man, it’d have been a fun season if they Flyers played every game like they played last night’s. Recap! *And we’re right back in action tonight as the Rangers come to town.
