*Maddie provides a great look at how Nolan Patrick’s second half of the season has gone. [BSH] *Jay provides his weekly Prospect Report, which is where we learn The Best Strome is killing it in the OHL postseason. [BSH] *Kurt takes a look at the Orange and Black’s final string of games, as well as…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. Last Tuesday’s game against Anaheim saw the Flyers largely get sunk by an exceedingly poor first period, one in which the visitors controlled the shot clock 15-5 en route to two goals. Despite not actually getting on the…
*The Flyers have jumped up quite a bit in the latest SB Nation power rankings. [SB Nation] *Zac Rinaldo is out six weeks with a high ankle sprain. That’s either terrible or great depending on your view of Zac Rinaldo. [Flyers] *ASF takes a look at the Flyers’ absolutely outstanding penalty kill. [Flyers] *We’re all…
Lately, the Flyers have been playing some pretty decent hockey. Against a downright torturous October schedule, they came into tonight one point above the weird NHL-defined “.500” mark, which is pretty great all things considered. And they had a chance to get to an actual .500 record with a win in this game, after putting…
When the Flyers traded for Andrew MacDonald near the trade deadline, we here at Broad Street Hockey weren’t overly thrilled with the acquisition. I was, however, interested to see him in a vastly different role with the Flyers. What I saw … was pretty good. It made me think “how are his underlying numbers so…
BSH Brief recaps the week in condensed form. Highlights, stats, stars, and duds… if you need a rundown of the last week in Flyers, we’ve got you covered.

The penalty kill is outstanding, the team defense is bordering on elite, Sean Couturier is the best defensive forward in the league, and with…
With the recent scratching of Sergei Bobrovsky in favor of Michael Leighton, a lot has been made about who is better “coming off the bench”. Set aside for a moment the (completely reasonable) objection of “if we’re worried about the backup goalie playing, the Flyers have much bigger problems” and let’s look into this. Rather…
The Flyers entered last week’s California trip as losers of four straight, so maybe a 1-1-1 record against San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles isn’t the worst possible outcome. But … well, Ed Snider might be a little too kind here. “I think it was a very successful trip,” Snider said. “When you think in…
Today’s open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news and notes… Hey, Tim Panaccio heard somebody close to Ilya Bryzgalov say Bryzgalov would be good for the Flyers. Cool. Good for him. [CSNPhilly] Travis already looked at why Bryzgalov is a bad idea: [BSH] And I explain why all this “high-priced,…
