This game was pretty stupid, until it was kind of fun, and then it devolved to be stupid again. I just got a second monitor added to my setup and let me tell you, I feel like a king. I don’t know how I was living my life with just one monitor before. I really…
As many teams do prior to hosting an outdoor game (you’ll likely remember the Flyers-Rangers alumni game played on New Years’ Eve in 2011), the Flyers confirmed today that they and the Pittsburgh Penguins, as part of each of their 50th anniversary celebrations, will host an alumni game in early 2017, prior to the teams’…
John Paddock has been on the ice in recent days, helping the Flyers in training camp at Voorhees. That was a little odd — after all, Paddock is an assistant general manager, not a coach. Oh, okay. That explains it. He is a coach now. The Flyers moved Paddock from the AGM position to an…
The past week or so has been kind of underwhelming for the Flyers, with two rough losses over the weekend and a game on Tuesday that the Flyers slept through half of before waking up and realizing they were playing the worst team in the NHL. Hopefully, they’re in line for a bit better of…
The Flyers lone acquisition at the 2017 NHL trade deadline, at least as far as actual living, breathing human beings are concerned, is forward Valtteri Filppula, acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning. Filppula has an expensive contract, worth $5 million against the salary cap, with one more year left on it. He’s probably not worth…
3: Number of power play goals the Canadiens scored against the Flyers on November 15, 2014 — the last time these two teams faced each other in Montreal. 3 power play goals in a game on only 4 calls against is not very good. Some may consider that to be very bad. Whatever the case,…
Although I disparaged the many shortcomings of the current salary cap set-up, I don’t think that the NHL should simply cut the cap idea out of the league entirely. As there are negatives, there are also positives that can come out of such a system. The idea of level competition arising via the revenue sharing…
There’s no point to this story other than to laugh at Alex Ovechkin. Over and over and over and over again, on loop forever.
The Flyers are probably set when it comes to roster moves and trades, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be here tomorrow as the 3 p.m. NHL trade deadline arrives. Beginning at 12 p.m., we’ll have a live discussion thread here for all the deadline talk. At 2 p.m., I’ll join Frank Seravalli from the…
Last year, before the season started, we here at Broad Street Hockey set up a series of over/under prop bets regarding the 2015-16 Flyers season (at the individual and team level), and we all took a guess on each one. We did very poorly at this guessing! But that’s not going to stop us from…
