*Has anyone mentioned yet that summer sucks? Oh right every day this week. Anyhoo, Claude Giroux is back on the ice after recovering from his surgery, hooray! [Sons of Penn] *Ron Hextall has been impressed with goalie prospect Carter Hart, which can’t be a bad thing. [CSN Philly] *Some people were surprised to learn that…
The first round is over, and we’ve had a bit of a cooling off period between the end of the Flyers season and now. We’ve also seen eight teams eliminated from the playoffs — some in devastating fashion, some in expected fashion. Watching the Leafs lose a heartbreaking Game 7 to the Bruins last night,…
After (perfectly) answering half of the questions provided by listeners last week, I finally answered the OTHER half of your questions. Despite being two different podcasts, both Q&As have plenty of Philadelphia Flyers’ analysis and absolute nonsense. In this podcast I discuss: The Nikita Gusev trade.

Saturday’s game was 60 minutes of horrifyingly sloppy pond hockey. We’ve been harping on the Flyers much improved process of late, controlling the even strength chance battle and generally playing solid hockey despite some unlucky losses.

[Boxscore] – [Wire Recap] – [SBN Game Page] – [Carolina Reaction] [Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] It’s appropriate that the Whalers changed their name to the Hurricanes, because tonight the windows were blown out of the RBC Center. Ville Leino set up two beautiful goals (only one of…
The Philadelphia Flyers were back in action against the Toronto Maple Leafs, clinging to their very slim playoff hopes. It needs to be a win-out situation for the Orange and Black and they certainly took a step in that direction on Wednesday evening. Toronto got out to an early lead, but thanks to goals from…
