After leading for most of the third period, the Flyers lost a 3-2 shootout decision to the Ottawa Senators in their first match-up of the season. While the Flyers appeared to be the better team for most of the night, a few key breakdowns gave the Senators enough of a chance to send the game…
#1: This was a golden opportunity wasted While it was fun to watch with the rest of the world and laugh at Montreal on Friday night, as they took the biggest single-game beatdown that many of us have ever seen in an NHL game before, the truth was that this game was always going to…
On the penultimate day of the 2015-16 NHL season, the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in Philadelphia by a score of 4-1 to clinch a spot in the playoffs. It was a fun day for all of us. I don’t think anything of significance has happened for the Pens since then, but maybe I’m…

The good…
Out of all the amazing things Shayne Gostisbehere did last season – remember the 15-game point streak? Yeah you do – he never scored three points in one game. Sure, he came close a number of times; he had seven two-point games (three of which came during the point streak). But three in one never…
Hockey players: they’re just like us! There are things they’re afraid of, too. To that end, the Philadelphia Flyers went and found out just what, exactly, freaks their players out.
