Short recap tonight because my Internet hasn’t been cooperating over the last few days, but really, on a night like tonight, there’s no need to get really into the details of the game, right? The Philadelphia Flyers, leaders of the Eastern Conference for most of the season, are officially playoff bound after surviving a late…
[Box Score] – [Wire Recap] – [SBN Game Page] – [Boston Reaction][Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] It is said that the third time is the charm, and tonight, the Philadelphia Flyers are certainly happy that’s the case. After having two apparent overtime-winning goals in previous games this season…
Ready… and, deep breaths. Chris Pronger left the third period of last night’s game with one of those dreaded lower-body injuries, and immediately we all jumped into a frenzy. Not the knee. Not the knee. For the love of God, not the knee. Hey, it’s not the knee. Frank Seravalli of the Daily News has…

What’s a good way to forget about last night’s brutal loss at the hands of the Florida Panthers? A friendly skills competition! (That is, after your coach puts you through what could be a very, very difficult practice just two hours prior…) Tonight at 6:30 in South Philadelphia, the Flyers will take to the ice…
For all intents and purposes, Michael Leighton is gone. With him on waivers, even if doesn’t get claimed, he won’t be back this season unless the goaltending situation changes with an injury. And that’s okay. The Flyers are back to the two goalie system. Both goaltenders, Brian Boucher and Sergei Bobrovsky, will get ample practice…
Continuing with our Year End Awards, which debuted yesterday with debate on the Best Flyers Goaltender of 2010, we now have to settle on the Goal of the Year. There were plenty of options, but we’ve settled on a few that we think are worthy of the discussion. Some are included for reasons of sheer…
We interrupt this victory-over-the-Penguins party for some roster news. Sorry. Matt Walker has been placed on long-term injured reserve. He joins Ian Laperriere there, while Michael Leighton comes off. Leighton is now on the active roster again. So what exactly do these moves mean for the Flyers? We have to look at it in two…
Peter Laviolette has one apparent policy that will affect his lineup on Saturday. It’s held true all season long so far. Once you’re out of the lineup, for any reason, you’re out until somebody else gives up their spot (unless you’re Danny Briere). It’s happened to Dan Carcillo, Nik Zherdev, James van Riemsdyk, and hell,…
The Flyers will have Michael Leighton checked out by a doctor tomorrow, and if he’s ready to go as he says he is, he’ll return to the Flyers active roster. That means a roster move is on the horizon. What will the Flyers do? Oh, how convenient! Another injury! Here’s Paul Holmgren speaking today at…
