The oft-injured Neuvirth was assigned to the AHL on a conditioning stint and told Inside AHL Hockey following the game that he would be joining the team in Boston ahead of tomorrow night’s match up with the Bruins….
I want nothing to do with Dallas. While I’m sure my Philly-brained subconscious is hard at work, this has nothing to do with NFC East rivalries or last night’s opponent specifically. This has to do with what’s next for the Flyers. The last few weeks have felt like a comedown from a high. For about…
A lot of games are called “must-wins”, but that isn’t necessarily the case for all of them. It would be nice to win them, sure – but are they really must-wins? For the Philadelphia Flyers, yes. They don’t win, and their season is over. It doesn’t get much more crucial than that. So the Flyers…
Over at Arctic Ice Hockey, they’ve been running a Mock Expansion Draft, going team-by-team in an attempt to figure out what would happen should the NHL add a 31st team in Seattle. It’s been 13 years since the NHL has held an expansion draft — Minnesota and Columbus joined the league in 2000 — but…
*It wasn’t too long ago that Broad Street Hockey hatched its plan to destroy the league from within. Slowly, they plotted their moves. A few stats articles here, some well-time tweets there… a game of chess, really. Yesterday, the scheme bore fruit: our own Eric T. was hired by the Hurricanes, the first team that…

Seattle Thunderbirds center Mathew Barzal has gone as high as No. 6 overall in various NHL mock drafts, and he was ranked at No. 11 among North American prospect skaters by the league’s Central Scouting department. BSH readers ranked him at No. 7 on our Community Draft Board. The chance he’s on the clock when…
Today’s open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news and notes… James van Riemsdyk is dealing with an injury “blip”. Sounds like Jen was right in predicting a groin issue though: [Philly Sports Daily] Chris Pronger is probably going to return to the lineup though, so that’s good: [Philly Sports Daily]…
Brian Startare, the guy that does pre and post-game on 610 WIP, has written a new book about the Flyers. On the pages of Flyer’d Up, there will be extensive trivia along with stories and quotes from the Broad Street Bullies, along with players from the 80’s, 90’s and today. There will also be contributions…
You guys! It’s happening! The Phantoms are in the Eastern Conference Finals! They’re doing the thing! But they…uh… did not get the series off to a great start. They dropped Game 1, and while we don’t love the result, there were still pieces to like. Let’s talk about them (and all those other things we…
