It has been an eventful week in the Flyers universe to say the least, and the gang has a lot of stuff to work through, from the Andrew MacDonald buyout to the addition of Justin Braun to an already crowded back end. So what’s next? Signing Kevin Hayes? Trading the draft pick? Something even spicier??…
The Montreal Canadiens are in town; how are they looking so far? As with most teams, it’s not a straightforward answer. Jared Book of Habs Eyes On The Prize gives us the lowdown on Jordan Weal and the rest of this teammates.
Boring hockey makes for boring numbers. There were multiple 10-plus-minute stretches without a single scoring chance from either team in this game. You can spin that as both teams playing solid defense or both teams being horrifyingly inept at creating offense. For comparison’s sake, the last game between the Flyers and Leafs featured nearly 40…
How much hockey can we expect Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov to play in this shortened 2013 NHL season? If you think he’ll somehow play less frequently than he would in a normal 82-game season, you’re likely wrong. Here’s a chart of the top goalies, sorted by games played, from the shortened 94-95 season. 48…
Our five-day review of the 25 top young players in the Flyers’ organization comes to an end today, as we look at the last (and greatest) five names on the countdown. First, if you need to review any of the earlier sections, you can find them here: Intro / 25 to 21 20 to 16…

The first tallies of All-Star voting came out this afternoon and there’s a surprise result towards the top of the goalie leaderboard. Sergei Bobrovsky is currently ranked second in All-Star voting for goaltenders with 58,101 votes, according to this count. That puts him about 13,000 votes behind the leader, Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens….
It’s been a fun first couple of weeks in the NHL, and even in this early part of the season the McDavid-Matthews debate is one worth having. The gang also takes a hard look at the league’s only remaining undefeated team, the New Jersey Devils, to try and figure out if they’re actually this good….
The 2016 NHL Draft might not be as exciting from the perspective of the Philadelphia Flyers perspective as last year’s event. After all, the team’s qualification for the postseason this past year means that they’ll pick 18th overall instead of No. 7 overall as they did last year, and it’s unlikely that they make a…
