With the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals being played between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Philadelphia Flyers, there are bound to be plenty of storylines. One of them is the impact the 2007 NHL Draft is having on the series, as the two teams picked first and second overall. Patrick Kane and James van Riemsdyk were…
I was stumbling around on YouTube earlier this morning when I found myself listening to Bob Galderstein, an old studio host on PRISM Network, talking about such recent events as the 35-game unbeaten streak and that first Cup-winning season, just a decade ago. That’s the first game from the 83-84 season, and the television intro…
Throughout the season, we here at Broad Street Hockey have kept our finger right where it belongs–on the pulse of Flyers fans like yourself. With that in mind, let’s quantify the confidence about the rest of the 2009-10 season, a campaign which will contain, at most, three more games. Make your pick in the poll…

Sports Illustrated sent this over to us this morning, and typically we just throw stuff like this in the Fly By, but there’s nothing else to talk about. So here’s a post about how the 1974-75 Flyers are the fourth most hated sports team in history. From SI: The Broad Street Bullies were the first…
We don’t do the morning fly by on weekends, but I guess this is as close as we’ll get. Most importantly, since it pertains to the action on the ice, Andrew Ladd is out tonight for Chicago. He’ll be replaced by Tomas Kopecky in the Blackhawks lineup. Kopecky has been a healthy scratch in the…

While we’re lucky enough to get to look forward to the fast approaching Eastern Conference Finals, looking back to the history that was made Friday night is totally awesome as well.
