Do you agree with @MikeMiss975 that Flyers fans should not have shown up and rooted for the Flyers in their last game? — 975TheFanatic (@975TheFanatic) April 10, 2017 We don’t really spend a lot of time talking about the everyday bullshit that goes over the airwaves on sports talk radio in this town, but ……
We’ve been hypothesizing all summer about which Flyers players will be protected in the league’s expansion draft. On Monday night, we learned exactly when we’ll know. “We’ve reached an agreement with the Players’ Association to broaden the window in which the Expansion Draft will take place,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. “[Vegas] will get…
This season has been pretty dramatic for the Philadelphia Flyers, and that’s just on the ice. Let’s talk about off the ice. Specifically, let’s talk about this. Sister of #Flyers D Radko Gudas is pregnant. Father is gonna be #Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth. Congrats. #AllInTheFamily — Roman Jedlicka (@jedli) February 23, 2017 Whoa, okay. Michal…

The Masterton is awarded annually to the NHL player “who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to ice hockey.” One player…

In the video above, you can see a person who is obviously a Philadelphia fan sucker punching an unsuspecting Columbus Blue Jackets fan in the mouth, and then walking…
It would seem Wayne Simmonds isn’t the only Flyer who wishes his dogs a happy birthday. Shayne Gostisbehere has joined his ranks in wishing his French bulldog, Pippa, a happy first birthday. She’s even all dressed up for the occasion (or Valentine’s Day, depending on which caption you roll with). Happy first birthday to my…
Even given the way things have gone for the Flyers of late, it’s rare that you already know what the outcome of a hockey game is going to be after 23 seconds of game time, the way it kind of felt like you did in tonight’s 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals. Tonight’s Flyers game…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Not much experimentation in this one Tuesday’s matchup with the New Jersey Devils was technically the first meaningless game of the season for the Flyers, but it didn’t truly have that vibe, considering the NHL debuts of…
