The first tallies of All-Star voting came out this afternoon and there’s a surprise result towards the top of the goalie leaderboard. Sergei Bobrovsky is currently ranked second in All-Star voting for goaltenders with 58,101 votes, according to this count. That puts him about 13,000 votes behind the leader, Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens….
In an attempt to change the confusing and unpleasant storyline of the past few days, let’s look at how the Phantoms rookies are doing compared to their preseason projections. What? They’re confusing and unpleasant too? Well, shit. Sorry. Anyway, if you recall (or if you clicked the link above), before the season I used Gabe…
Next up in our weekly Ask A Flyer segment, in partnership with Anthony SanFilippo of the Delco Times, we’ll be chatting with Flyers defenseman Matt Carle. The American-born product of the University of Denver — who, when ever I type his name in our photo search tool, returns results for the same damn photo of…
Having visiting fans invade your barn can be a frustrating experience. We deal with it often in Philadelphia, especially considering our proximity of the rabid, obnoxious New York fan base to the North. On the other hand, when you’re the invader and you’re making the trek to Pittsburgh or NYC or Montreal or even Phoenix,…
It’s been 25 years since the death of Pelle Lindbergh. We’ve stumbled upon these 25 year old videos from Channel 6 Action News. Their sports staff, including a very young Scott Palmer and, of course, the late Gary Papa, put together these tributes in the immediate aftermath of the crash. Pretty powerful stuff, even after…
Paul Holmgren spoke with the media before tonight’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes. He talked about everything from the injuries to Andrej Meszaros and Andreas Nodl to how he feels about the suspension to Danny Briere to what he thinks of Nikolay Zherdev. Holmgren also commented on the current status of the Adirondack Phantoms, how…

Ville Leino set up two beautiful goals (only one of…
[Boxscore] – [Wire Recap] – [SBN Game Page] – [Montreal Reaction] [Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] Ask the last eight teams the Flyers have faced: sometimes, you run into a red-hot goaltender and a team playing top-notch defense. Sometimes, even if you pepper a guy with 40 or…
If you read enough hockey blogs, or enough NHL propaganda, you likely have seen a few people talking about these new Flip HD cameras with NHL team branding. They debuted the other day, and Cisco offered me one with a Flyers logo on it if I agreed to write something about it. Since I use…
Are we beating a dead horse yet here? Yes, another story about Sergei Bobrovsky’s workload. I thought a comment on the “Brian Boucher is starting tonight” story from frequent commenter Mike B on D summed things rather nicely: “I’m happy that this is the worst thing going on right now with the team.” Amen, man….
