Here is the Philadelphia Flyers goal song this year: And here is a portion of an interview Michael Del Zotto did with Sports Illustrated this week, talking about his DJ skills, which is his bug hobby outside of hockey: Claude Giroux is huge into house music, but he likes the heavier stuff. For the Flyers’…
The Flyers will begin the final weekend of the year against a team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, that’s used to being in the position that Philadelphia finds itself in this year: playing out the string with no playoffs on the horizon. It’ll be a weird feeling this weekend inside Wells Fargo Center as the Flyers…
Popular to contrary belief, the Stanley Cup will again be awarded this year. I know, I wasn’t aware that they have awarded it in the last 40 years either, but apparently that’s true. Wild stuff. So OK, somebody has to win it. Fine. Who do we want? Who do you want to win the Cup?…
The PPL Center in Allentown is probably the nicest mid-sized arena in the United States right now, and it’s obvious that owners would like the building filled as much as humanly possible. To that end, there’s a report out of North Dakota today saying that the facility has put in a bid to host the…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Even territorial game, but Flyers with edge in shot quality In a battle between one playoff lock and one team with almost no chance at making the dance, the Flyers and Senators played a back-and-forth, relatively even…
Update: In an interview with Chris Therien between periods, Flyers forward Colin McDonald noted that Neuvirth “wasn’t feeling that well in the locker room” before the game, and that “we were worried about him”. He did not clarify further, but it’s possible Neuvirth is dealing with the same kind of illness that kept Steve Mason…
Following Saturday’s Flyers contest against the Devils that had its fair share of chippiness (or you could call it stupidity, I suppose), it looks like one player will emerge a bit lighter in the wallet for it: Devils defenseman Dalton Prout, who has been suspended for two games for a late and totally unnecessary hit…
Ron Hextall became the seventh general manager in Philadelphia Flyers history when he was promoted on May 7, 2014. He filled the void left by his predecessor, Paul Holmgren, who was “moved up” to team President — a reward earned, seemingly, 22 days earlier when Holmgren re-signed Andrew MacDonald, for whom he’d already surrendered two…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Hagg’s debut undeniably impressive Just as Samuel Morin was given a one-game NHL audition (or reward, depending on how you want to view it), Robert Hagg also received a chance to play for the Flyers once before…
I don’t know if it’s a bad case of Monday morning allergies or if I’m actually still hungover from partying following the Flyers’ 11-spot jump in the 2017 NHL Draft Lottery, but all of the world’s Claritin/Pedialyte couldn’t make me feel as good as those ping balls did on Saturday evening. We’re going to have…
