The Philadelphia Flyers play their Stadium Series game against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Heinz Field on Feb. 25, and they’re probably going to look pretty cool out there. Steve Mason, in particular, appears to be going all-in – at least, if the first look at his special pads are any occasion. Steve Mason’s pads for…
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…
Steve Mason obviously had a slow start to his season, and it’s a big reason why the Philadelphia Flyers had a slow start. After all, bad goaltending is a chief reason why the team remains near the basement in the goals against category, and it’s the reason that until last night, the Flyers were out…
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…
After Tuesday’s contest against the Bruins, one in which the most frequent frustrating game narrative of the Flyers’ season (play well for most of the game, have some bad defensive breakdowns/penalty-killing/poor goaltending, lose) was flipped on its head (team plays terribly for most of the game, is bailed out by its goaltending, wins in shootout),…
Adidas is taking over for Reebok as the NHL’s jersey provider beginning next season, and for at least a year, that change will mean that teams will only have two uniforms. Adidas will not create third jerseys for the Flyers or any other NHL team in 2017-18. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported the news this morning,…
Oh hey, remember hockey? It was that sport that you liked once upon a time, back before some jolly dude dressed in red committed home invasion against billions of people this past weekend. The world is obviously reeling from this brazen crime spree, but have no fear — sports are a distraction from the difficulties…
Claude Giroux has been to the All-Star Game before. Wayne Simmonds has not. So like any good captain, Giroux had some advice for his teammate. Dear @Simmonds17, make sure you keep your clothes on for tomorrow’s game. Love, Claude. #perrycreepingintheback pic.twitter.com/1TM52yqUWV — Claude Giroux (@28CGiroux) January 29, 2017 Aw, G cares. This, of course, is…
Hey, remember Michal Neuvirth? He’s a goaltender for the Philadelphia Flyers, and he’s back from injury. Neuvirth will be back on the bench, backing up Steve Mason on Wednesday night when the Flyers host the New York Rangers at the Wells Fargo Center. Neuvirth went down with a knee injury on November 13 and was…
