Wayne Simmonds is a very good hockey player. Further to that, though, he’s one of those good hockey players that can also fight. Remember, P.K. Subban does not want anyone fighting Wayne Simmonds. Kevin Bieksa, though? Sure, why not? It didn’t turn out to be much of a fight – and losing Simmonds in exchange…
As the Flyers prepare to take on an old rival for the second time this season, we briefly look back upon the long history of the Flyers-Devils rivalry. *** It was spring of 1982. E.T. was only weeks away from becoming one of the biggest blockbusters of all time, Ronald Reagan was in the White…
The Philadelphia Flyers won again! And over a divisional opponent, too! All is good. That’s definitely one way to pave the way for the lighter side of the game, which is exactly what Claude Giroux was acknowledging the morning after. @jachobe “who did that G” #pucktothebutt https://t.co/oNW7IELmYZ — Claude Giroux (@28CGiroux) December 22, 2016 Hahaha,…
It’s extremely exciting times for the Philadelphia Flyers’ young defensemen. Shayne Gostisbehere had a breakout rookie season. Ivan Provorov is having a similar performance. And what would you know: both, 23 and 19 years old respectively, are currently leading the Flyers in ice time. There are still some, um, faults on the Flyers’ defense. But…
Michal Neuvirth is expected to be back in the starter’s net for the Philadelphia Flyers. Coming off of their bye, they’re almost certainly hoping to get back in the win column – hopefully rested, relaxed, and ready to resume the level of play that saw them win so often in December. And for it, Neuvirth…
Have you ever been to Buffalo in January? I haven’t, but I’m imagining that it’s the grayest place on the planet, and also somewhere that the Flyers will play a hockey game tonight. They are at the Marine Midland Arena HSBC Arena First Niagara Center KeyBank Center for a contest against the Sabres. The Sabres…
Wayne Simmonds is your Philadelphia Flyers representative for the 2017 NHL All-Star Game. The NHL announced the full rosters for the game on Tuesday morning, and Simmonds will be the lone Flyer making the trip to Los Angeles at the end of the month. It will be a bit of a homecoming for Simmonds, who…
Last season, it was Brayden Schenn who received the one-game “send a message” scratching from head coach Dave Hakstol. This year, both Michael Raffl and Shayne Gostisbehere have gotten the same treatment as well. We can now add Travis Konecny to the ever-growing list. After the morning skate in San Jose today, Hakstol announced to…
