As the Flyers prepare to take on an old rival for the second time this season, we briefly look back upon the long history of the Flyers-Devils rivalry. *** It was spring of 1982. E.T. was only weeks away from becoming one of the biggest blockbusters of all time, Ronald Reagan was in the White…
*Okay okay one more thing before we get all the way back into hockey: here are your Philadelphia Flyers enjoying the heck out of the Eagles winning the Super Bowl. [Flyers] *Hopefully getting this taste of victory from the football team will light a fire in the belly of the core of this team. [NBC…
Anton Volchenkov‘s hit on Simon Gagne in the third period on Tuesday night may not have even been the most egregious non-call of the night. For that, you can look to a waived off Flyers goal late in the third and a blatant elbow to by Volchenkov to the face of Dan Carcillo earlier in…
This post is sponsored by Labatt. Alright, so we’re all a little bummed out about the performance the Flyers put in last night in Game 5. Never fear, though. The Labatt Refreshment Duo is here! They want to send you and a friend up to Duo HQ in Canada (in reality, it’s probably in Secaucus)…

Happy Thanksgiving, to all of you who are celebrating! I bet we all thought that after that rough loss last night that we’d be able to have a quiet Thursday, eat an ungodly amount of food, and forget about the Flyers for a day. But they had other plans. It’s a holiday news dump! The…
There was a post on Puck Daddy this morning about a pigeon that landed on the ice at United Center during Sunday night’s Nashville/Chicago game. PD quoted another blogger, who had this to say about the incident. I saw something tonight that I have never seen in my 20 plus years of shooting sports- a…
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins bested the Lehigh Valley Phantoms 2-1 in overtime in a tough rivalry game, handing the home team its first regular season loss in the newly constructed PPL Center. Penguins goaltender Matt Murray had an unreal performance, saving 42 of 43 shots faced. The Phantoms bombarded Penguins Murray with shots but Zack Stortini…
2008 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals: Capitals 4, Flyers 2 The Flyers had a chance to put away the Washington Capitals in Game 6 of the Eastern Quarters back in 2008, and they looked good early: power play goals from Mike Richards and Danny Briere had the Flyers up 2-0 early in the second period, but the…
