Remember when Wayne Simmonds celebrated his dog’s birthday? And then he did it again a year later, because his dog had another birthday, as these things tend to happen? Well, that was for Jax. But Simmonds has another dog, Boe. And it was Boe’s birthday. His very first one! And Boe’s birthday was also celebrated….
Two years ago, shortly after Ron Hextall was put in charge of hockey operations with the Flyers, we reported on the hiring of Ian Anderson as the team’s manager of hockey analytics. But we’ve never really learned a lot about his role with the team. Anderson has never done an interview with the media since…
Last year, before the season started, we here at Broad Street Hockey set up a series of over/under prop bets regarding the 2015-16 Flyers season (at the individual and team level), and we all took a guess on each one. We did very poorly at this guessing! But that’s not going to stop us from…
Tonight the Flyers will take the ice for the final time before their 2016-17 regular season begins next week, as they’ll head to Boston to take on the team they edged out for the final playoff spot in the East last season. It’s been an interesting preseason for the Flyers, who have seen two top…

PHILADELPHIA – The Flyers can’t say they didn’t have their chances. After a hard-fought third period through the first 10 minutes, Anaheim broke a 2-2 tie when Ryan Garbutt went top shelf over a sprawling Steve Mason. “We had tired legs,” said Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol. “We lost coverage on that play. There was…
With the Flyers season fast approaching, fans have a lot to be excited about. The addition of two star rookies in Ivan Provorov and Travis Konecny have justifiably lit a spark in the fanbase that hopes to see their team make a deep playoff run. And while the product on the ice alone is worth…
