The NHL All-Star Game isn’t until Jan. 29, but when you think about it, that actually isn’t all that far away. And while Wayne Simmonds is currently fourth in Metropolitan Division voting, he can always get more votes. After all, fourth means three guys are ahead of him: two Penguins and a Capital. What is…
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,…

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…
So the Islanders, huh? I’ll be honest, I really don’t have any feelings about the Islanders. I kind of feel bad for them for being the Islanders, but that is probably a holdover from a few years ago when they were absolute trash. Aren’t they kind of good now? Who knows? Who cares? My only…
Alright, here is the setting. A cold, third-string back-up goalie and a defensive corps decimated by injuries. These are things on paper, that look to give the Flyers an advantage. But you, my friend, have to understand, this is the Philadelphia Flyers we’re talking about. The same team that can turn a back up goalie…
