The Flyers were shut out today, for what was the first time this NHL season. One game after playing some uninspiring defense and winning largely thanks to a significant goaltending advantage, the Flyers were undone by a goaltending advantage for the other team. Andrei Vasilevskiy, who is really good, stopped all 32 shots he faced…
The Flyers are home for the second game of this four-game homestand tonight, hosting the Ottawa Senators … who are … good? Well, kinda. They’re sitting at 9-5-1 through their first 15 games, good for third in the Atlantic Division. They are allowing 2.29 goals per 60 minutes, which is the fifth best number in…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Classic low-event Devils hockey game Ever since the mid 90s, the New Jersey Devils have owned the same, distinct identity. Their whole strategy is to choke the life out of teams, and win low-scoring games that contained…
Before this past Monday, the last episode of BSH Radio was recorded on Wednesday the 16th. Since then, the Flyers have played two games, scratched their best defenseman, and have generally had a pretty eventful few days. So we’re here to talk about it! Travis and I were lucky enough to be in town to…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: The Flyers truly dealt with bad luck in this one The word “luck” probably gets thrown around a bit too much in the hockey stat-based community to explain outcomes that don’t match up with the underlying metrics….
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: A “Flyers special” and the formula worked So far this year, the Flyers have delivered extreme statistical performances when looking at key metrics. They haven’t just driven play at 5v5 — they’ve been up there with elite…
We knew of two roster moves the Flyers made on Tuesday: one that activated goalie Michal Neuvirth from injured reserve, and another that sent goalie Anthony Stolarz to the Phantoms to make room on the active roster for Neuvy. But those two moves put the Flyers over the salary cap by about $119,000, and thus…
Wayne Simmonds now has 10 goals on the season. It took him 20 games to get there, and we knew it was going to happen, because Simmonds is a goal scorer. He has the most for the Philadelphia Flyers, after all. Next in line is Jakub Voracek with seven. But of course, this isn’t anything…
Let’s talk about Jakub Voracek. He has seven goals and 17 points through 19 games this season; also, as of Nov. 17, he has a son. We’ve known for a couple of months now he was going to be a dad, but it’s all the more incredible when it actually happens, you know? Voracek does…
For the love of God, please tell me that you didn’t fall that thing that the stoner kid from junior year of high school posted on Facebook? Because all of these other clowns did: It was from NHLTradeRumors.me, for eff’s sake. They can’t even afford a .com domain name, and you think they’re plugged into…
