I have a confession to make. I have never seen Star Wars. Well, that’s not entirely accurate. I have seen exactly six minutes into the first Star Wars movie. A New Hope. See, I crushed that. Now that I’m thinking about it, though, I don’t think it counts. Bottom line is that I have had…
When the Philadelphia Flyers drafted Samuel Morin 11th overall in 2013, he was coming off of a four goal, 16 point season over 46 games for Rimouski Oceanic in the QMJHL. He also had 117 penalty minutes, and then-listed as 6’6 and 202 lbs., it was obvious what his player projection looked like: very big,…
When Andrew MacDonald was waived by the Flyers before the season, I made a joke about how the Phantoms’ Calder Cup hopes had been dashed by his addition to the lineup. That was an obvious joke, though. MacDonald — while overpaid and not very good at the NHL level — is certainly a quality AHL…
One-punch knockout from #Flyers prospect Tyrell Goulbourne tonight. #Phantoms. pic.twitter.com/qPI9MzeygH — Brady Trettenero (@BradyTrett) October 25, 2015 Something tells us that Providence’s Anthony Camara won’t be fighting Tyrell Goulbourne again any time soon. Goulbourne has a fight and a goal tonight for the Phantoms.
Lehigh Valley Phantoms forward Nick Cousins and goaltender Anthony Stolarz have been named to the 2016 American Hockey League All-Star Game. It’s the first appearance at the game for each of them. Much like in the NHL, all AHL teams are represented by at least one player. Last year, defenseman Brandon Manning — now with…
Okay, so taking a penalty is generally not a good idea. Taking a penalty while your team is already killing a penalty is an even worse idea. But how can anyone stay mad at that face? Claude Giroux is just so happy. He was probably less happy when Ryan Getzlaf scored just at the very…
Classic Claude Giroux. He is the best and it is impossible to not love him. Of course, remember this is a man whose entire Twitter bio is simply “Love grilled cheese”. It is his defining trait. As the year’s end is upon us, the Players’ Tribune is reaching out to athletes to fill out a…
After The Favorite That Shook The World, news of where Steven Stamkos will land if he’s traded or hits free agency have flooded the media. Will it be Toronto? Will he sign and stay put in Tampa? Someplace else? Montreal? Nashville? Nay, I say. He’ll sign with the Flyers one way or another, and I…
Claude Giroux, everybody. Or rather, GBaby, everybody. Okay, so the stitching quality doesn’t look super great – especially on the G and second B (did he do it himself? I kind of hope he did) – but still, Giroux’s dedication to the letter G and all ways he can exploit it for nicknames is really…
The Philadelphia Flyers returned from the All-Star Break with a bang. Of course, it helps they were playing against the Montreal Canadiens, who have only won once in their last nine games – and that one victory was over the Maple Leafs, so does it really count? – but that doesn’t take away from Wayne…
