20 – The streak of successful Flyers penalty kills that was broken last night. We’ve been fawning over the Flyers’ special teams lately, because, well, they’ve been amazing. Unfortunately, last night we saw a rather epic penalty kill streak get snapped. The number of consecutive successful penalty kills is pretty contentious depending on who you…
It’s that time of year again, folks! The Phantoms’ season is over and the dust has started to settle, which means it’s time to dig into the performances and give out some grades. Because who doesn’t love grades, right? We’re going to be breaking these up by position, and we’re also limiting our grade distribution…
Well, somebody got fired today, even if it wasn’t the person we expected. After four-and-a-half years as the club’s general manager, Ron Hextall was let go by the Philadelphia Flyers this morning. It’s not the thing many fans wanted to see happen (or at least not before another person still with the team was let…
Just a reminder (and disclaimer), folks: we are not experts and we are not guaranteeing these picks. Place your bets at your own risk and always remember to gamble responsibly. It’s serious business.

The Avalanche placed Matt Hunwick, their top defenseman in 2013, on waivers today. I do not know exactly why they did this other than a pretty clear desire to shake things up under new management and a new coach, but it’s a move that could reap benefits for another team in the league. Could the…

In its final preseason game of its inaugural season in Allentown, the Phantoms dropped their third and final exhibition matchup with a 2-1 loss to former NY rivals, the Albany Devils. Two power play goals for the Devils locked in the win, as the Phantoms struggled to find the back of the net. Lehigh Valley…
While we’re lucky enough to get to look forward to the fast approaching Eastern Conference Finals, looking back to the history that was made Friday night is totally awesome as well. Last night and today, the whole world was talking about the Flyers. Like, everybody. Everywhere. It was been pretty awesome, honestly. And with the…
Just for fun, and because I’m apparently sadistic, I decided to go look at all the Stanley Cup Playoffs predictions I could find this morning. And look, I expect the Flyers to be the underdog in this series against the Washington Capitals. We’d be silly to expect otherwise. But let’s be honest here: this series…
Remember when Flyers-Penguins games were fun? Yeah, well … to say that I’m dreading this evening’s latest affair between the two clubs is probably an understatement. Philadelphia has lost three straight and has completely eliminated its hopes of the playoffs in the process — as if they weren’t done before that, I guess. Pittsburgh, meanwhile,…
