Ivan Provorov is now familiar with both victory and defeat. A year ago, his Brandon Wheat Kings were swept in the WHL Final. Winning three series four games to one meant nothing; they could never reach even just that 13th win. The 2015-16 season, however, sees a different finish. This year, it’s Brandon who are…

The Philadelphia Flyers were unable to extend their winning streak to five, dropping a mistake-filled contest to the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. Sean Couturier’s goal-scoring streak came to a halt at four, not to mention his multi-goal game streak, ending at three. Claude Giroux was held without a point…

I’ll admit it. Over the course of the last five years, I’ve participated in the “Crosby Sucks!” chant. Chances are you have too. This might not be a popular opinion, but it’s getting to the point now where we should all be embarrassed about that. Hear me out on this. I understand the reasoning behind…

Throughout training camp, it was obvious that the Philadelphia Flyers had a serious logjam on defense. With eight defensemen on NHL contracts, it was not only going to be difficult for any of the highly-touted prospects to make the team out of camp, but also would be a test for the veterans, who faced a…

In my last article, I looked at the Flyers draft history of European goalies. Now, I am taking a look at skaters. The Flyers have drafted 95 European forwards and defensemen from 13 different countries. That’s a lot of skaters! So, I’ve decided to divide them up by nation. Today, I’m covering Austria, Belarus, the…

A lead going into the third period? Opening it up to a two-goal difference on a short-handed breakaway by Sean Couturier, holding that lead with 1:09 left in the game? Any normal team would win this in regulation. But not these Flyers. Oh no, they are no normal team. Rasmus Anderson brought the game to…

It may be safe to call Philadelphia Flyers prospect Tyler Brown a bit of a late bloomer. The 22-year-old went undrafted through his late teens, but despite it was able to work his way onto the roster of the OHL’s Plymouth Whalers at the start of the 2007 season. In that first year of Major…

If there’s one Philadelphia Flyer whose off-season activity we’re going to know all about, it’s Michael Del Zotto. He’s got a very active Instagram, and he’s not afraid to use it. While it’s cool to see what he’s up to, it’s even better – from a strictly hockey fan perspective – to see how his…

What’s better than Flyers game day, you ask? Why, it’s Flyers game day with a side of BSH Radio! Charlie, Steph, Bill, & Kelly are back chatting calmly about everything that’s happened in the Flyers’ world this week, including the Flyers’ surprise shootout win, the Flyers’ problems on the penalty kill, and Dave Hakstol’s professed…
