The Flyers take on the Blue Jackets, who have been reaaaaaally good lately.

VOORHEES — There’s one feeling that permeates the air inside the Skate Zone, as you stand along the glass or sit on the cold metal bleachers watching players that you’ve mostly never heard of or seen slap pucks around in black and white jerseys. This is boring. Yep, today was honestly my first prospect camp…

Earlier today, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms announced that head coach Scott Gordon signed a contract extension. Last season Gordon took the Phantoms to playoffs for the first time since 2009, and the team has improved yet again this season as they currently sit first in the Atlantic Division and second in the league.

Vincent Lecavalier scored three himself, the PP finally converted and the team scored five in the win. It was…

The Flyers have had success in the early season, but have also now been dealt a pair of shutout losses following their 1-0 loss to Nashville on Thursday night. Pekka Rinne stopped all 28 Flyers shots he faced and Colton Sissons’ goal 3:49 into the third period held up as the game-winner to drop the…

Streit talk! (Flyers) *Travis on why this trade is not a long-term solution. (BSH) *Bob MacKenzie seems to think this…

*TWO GAMES last night. At the same time. Two separate Flyers teams. That’s utter madness. Game stuff here! *Eric T. examines the Flyers’ 2013 zone entry data to get a handle on what went so terribly wrong last year.
