Since you read Broad Street Hockey Dot Com four times a day, you are likely aware that it’s the 50th anniversary season for the Philadelphia Flyers. And tonight when the team hosts the Arizona Coyotes at the Wells Fargo Center, it’ll be first of several “Heritage Nights” they host. They’ll welcome 15 members of the…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Fair to say this was a game the Flyers should have won While closer on the stat sheet than it may have seemed, this was still a game that the Philadelphia Flyers deserved to win. Though I…
If you’re not familiar with the Mannequin Challenge, it’s basically this: a group of people stand stock still while someone with a camera runs around recording them. Basically, the goal is to hold a pose like a mannequin. If you’re not familiar with the Philadelphia Eagles, I can’t really help you there. The Philadelphia Flyers…
The Philadelphia Flyers close out their season-opening three-game road trip with an 8:30 puck drop against the Chicago Blackhawks this evening at United Center. The real debate before this one is if it qualifies as #FlyersAfterDark … 8:30 starts are pretty rare, particularly on Central Time. But … here we are. The Flyers will likely…

Want to get hit with a serious wave of nostalgia? Kimmo Timonen has you covered. And even though Scott Hartnell is still with the Columbus Blue Jackets, he’s helping out on that front, too. Great honor to be standing up in my best friends wedding!!! #bestman #1000games A photo posted by Kime4Kids (@kime4kids) on Oct…
It’s kind of ironic that Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas returns from his six-game suspension tonight against the Buffalo Sabres. The last time Gudas hit the ice against Buffalo, it was marred by controversy: Gudas probably should have been suspended for this, as we wrote at the time, even though he was given a major for…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: One good period isn’t enough It’s fair to come out of this game frustrated with a few select players. It’s fair to have some issues with a few of the calls on the ice. It’s even fair…
