It’s gonna come down to this, huh? You’re really going to stretch this little race all the way down to game 82, aren’t you? I can’t say I’m surprised. Nothing is ever easy with you. Not icing the most obvious lineups, or making optimal end-of-game personnel decisions, or giving a goalie a day or two…
Hey, everybody! Did you miss me? Did you miss observations? Well, you’re in luck! The Flyers’ post-season may be over, but the Phantoms’ is still in full swing. They played Game 3—their series home opener—against the Providence Bruins, and I got to watch it, and, as always, I have some notes for you. Let’s get…
It’s playoff time, everybody, and you know what that means. It’s that time again. It’s time to hit on all of our favorite old story lines. There’s a whole mess of them that folks like to revisit at about this time every year, but today we’ll be looking at just one–the tension between the youth…
The Flyers could have clinched a playoff spot with a win and a loss from the Panthers on Tuesday night, but thanks to a third period rally that fell just short they’d have to wait for another night. New York scored three second period goals to take a commanding 4-1 lead into the third before…
What’s up, pals? How are we doing? Last night was a real bummer, right? A point is still nice, but the Flyers deserved the two, right? On the bright side, we don’t have a lot of time to be sad about that, as they’re right back at tonight against the Avalanche, and we’ll have something…
What a weird season. The excitement in the pre-season about the youth that was going to be lineup, and some of the frustration about the chances that those young guys were (or weren’t) getting. The incredible season by the team’s best players, and the forgettable efforts by some of the guys behind them. The 10-game…
Earlier today, we began our yearly look at the Flyers’ end-of-year awards by sizing up the race for the Barry Ashbee Trophy, given to the team’s best defenseman. In this post, we’ll take a look at the best choices for the Pelle Lindbergh Memorial Trophy, which goes to the most improved player on the Flyers’…
Sometimes in hockey you can overcome bad play by getting a few bounces, but you definitely can’t overcome bad play and bad luck all the while playing one of the better teams in hockey at their place. There was plenty of bad in the Flyers’ 7-0 loss to the Penguins in game one of their…
The guys break down whether or not the Flyers will make the postseason, as well as the other potential playoff series across the league. The two also talk about who should win the Vezina Trophy and Jack Adams Award, the Frozen Four, and Nolan Patrick’s monster game on Tuesday. Naturally, Skid Row and Sebastian Telfair…
The Flyers look to even up their best-of-seven series with the Penguins tonight at 7pm from PPG Paints Arena, but in the meantime here are some links to get you through to puck drop. *The Flyers may have lost 7-0 in game one, but just about nothing went right and the final score mirrored what…
