The NHL is expanding. Maybe not right this second, and maybe not in the next year or so even, but I would basically bet my life on expansion coming at some point over the next five years. Too many cities want teams, be it Las Vegas, Seattle, Quebec City or elsewhere, and there aren’t enough…
1. Well, that start was less than ideal, and so was the finish And the worst part of it all was, the Flyers really didn’t play that poorly in the first period. The two opening goals for Dallas were byproducts of poor goaltending from Cam (Camuel) Talbot and … actually nothing else just Cam Talbot….
The Flyers are in Winnipeg for a Friday night date with the Jets.
It’s that time again! The Phantoms open up their regular season tonight, and in preparation for that, Brad and I took a moment to sit down and do some projecting on what the lines and pairings could look like to open the season. We did a bit of looking at the lines they ran during…
Stewart wins that one. Bad fight for Asham. Second game with a fight for Hartnell. His hair is hilarious. I’d give the win to Hartnell.
*Preseason continued last night with the second game against those Islanders and the Flyers lost in overtime. Again. Midseason form baby!! Here’s what we learned from Monday’s opener and, because it rules, have a listen to Bill’s season opener too. *We did not see prodigal son Travis Konecny last night, though. Going to have to…
So there are a whole bunch of lineups changes as we head into tonight’s Game 3 against the Buffalo Sabres. Some of these make sense. Some of them do not. Let’s break them down one-by-one. We’ll start in Buffalo, where Jordan Leopold will return to the lineup earlier than expected from a broken finger. Who…
So … um, is NHL Network good now? They’re at least trying, and as part of the effort, they have actual original programming during the offseason. Quite a concept. And that programming includes a countdown of the top 20 forwards in the NHL today, which they walked through on Saturday night. Now, just because NHL…
The Eagles set the stage and the Flyers followed up with a worthy encore for a near-perfect Philadelphia sports Saturday. Sean Couturier scored two goals and added an assist as the Flyers beat the Devils, 5-3, on Saturday night for their fourth-straight win. Claude Giroux, Jake Voracek and Ivan Provorov all added two assists as…
In 2011, a young coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning shocked the NHL by implementing an interesting system of hockey that brought his team to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Since that year, Guy Boucher has kind of dropped off the radar, producing some sub-par results that ultimately got him relieved of his…
