As Flyers fans, we’re used to being hated, and usually, we don’t even have much vitriol toward those doing the hating. I mean, I think even San Jose Sharks fans irrationally hate us. As a result, we’ve had a million little one-sided “rivalries” in our 43-year history — silly, pesky little nuisances that make us…
Defenseman Simon Bertilsson, 19, may only have 2 assists in his 25 games this season, but his defensive play has earned him praise that goes beyond the numbers. Widely considered the 2nd best defenseman on his team, only behind Predators prospect Mattias Ekholm, Bertilsson believes that he can still do better. “I guess I’m pretty…
Joacim Eriksson got used to shutouts last season when he broke ex-NHLer Ed Belfour’s one season shutout record for Leksand in Allsvenskan. Last night it was time for Eriksson’s first shutout in Elitserien, when he stopped all 31 shots against the Frölunda Indians. “Great”, Eriksson says. “Truly, truly great to get the first shutout in…
We’re excited to debut a new feature here today: the BSH Flyers Ticket Center. With help from TiqIQ, we’re able to present a pretty unique destination for those of us looking for tickets to a Flyers game, whether that game be at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philly or at Staples Center in LA…
The NHL still has to approve, but the Flyers have applied for a two-day extension on Michael Leighton‘s AHL conditioning loan. The move allows them to keep Leighton on long-term injured reserve, or LTIR, for two more AHL games. Paul Holmgren announced this on a conference call with reporters Monday, meaning that he’s probably pretty…
Now that the Flyers wear their white Winter Classic jerseys on the road for every game, they probably figured it’d be best to re-acquire the guy known for potting goals in those jerseys. Danny Syvret, the defenseman who scored two goals in 21 games for the orange and black last year, one in the Winter…
Jarome Iginla won’t be heading to the All-Star Game in Raleigh next week due to family issues, according to TSN’s Darren Dreger, and the Canadian news outlet is reporting that his replacement will be Flyers forward Danny Briere. Many of us bitched last week when Briere, the leading scorer on the East’s best team, was…
Defenseman Matt Walker has been sent to the Adirondack Phantoms on a conditioning stint, according to the Flyers. He’ll play with the Phantoms, and goaltender Michael Leighton, tonight as they take on the Syracuse Crunch. Walker is allowed to stay with the Phantoms for up to 14 days. The loan has no bearing on the…
[Boxscore] – [Wire Recap] – [SBN Game Page] – [Quote Sheet] – [Montreal Reaction] [Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] PHILADELPHIA — As is typical with an over-hyped hockey game between two fierce rivals (and there’s no mistaking it: the Flyers and Habs are fierce as rivals come these…
Perhaps Andrew Alberts should just sit out next time his former team is in town. In just the last few years, Alberts has been on the wrong end of two unfortunate incidents involving the Flyers and dirty play. In 2007 before he was ever a Flyer, he was on the wrong end of a nasty…
