Ed Snider spoke on Friday at Flyers training camp. Jokes about his excitement regarding the Flyers goaltending circulated on Twitter, but he spoke at length about a number of different topics. Here’s a full transcript. Uncle Ed is excited about the Flyers, guys. First of all, can you talk about your impressions of the season…
Hockey returns officially tonight as the Flyers travel up to London, Ont. for their first game of the 2013-14 preseason. It’s the annual “hey, Comcast-Spectacor owns the Flyers and also operates this rink in Canada, so let’s play there” game and let’s hope it goes off a little better than it did last time. Toronto…

Philadelphia Flyers (0-1-0) at…
If there’s one thing I think we try to preach here at BSH when we write about hockey, it’s that you shouldn’t put too much stock in a single game or a single shift or whatever. One game isn’t necessarily indicative of a season, one hot stretch doesn’t mean a player is the next Gretzky….

*TWO GAMES last night. At the same time. Two separate Flyers teams. That’s utter madness. Game stuff here! *Eric T. examines the Flyers’ 2013 zone entry data to get a handle on what went so terribly wrong last year.

It hasn’t even been three months since Samuel Morin first pulled on a Flyers sweater, but the 18 year old has signed his entry-level contract. The team announced the news on Tuesday afternoon, confirming that it’s a three-year deal with performance bonuses that could bring the yearly cap hit up to $1.425 million. Anthony SanFilippo…
The Flyers host the New York Rangers on Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center, their fourth game in three days because the NHL preseason is weird. It will, however, be their final game for a full week as the team will presumably make some cuts and then ship up to Lake Placid for several…
