Personally, my only real requirement for today’s hockey game was that the Flyers leave it without any serious injuries. There were a couple of scares on that front (namely, Claude Giroux blocking a shot in the third period and heading off the ice, before inexplicably coming back into the game), but it appears that we’re…
In two games against the New York Rangers this season, Claude Giroux has zero points. In one game against the Rangers, Jaromir Jagr has zero points. In two games, Scott Hartnell has one point … a secondary assist on an Andrej Meszaros power play goal. If you want to understand why the Flyers haven’t been…

Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. After a couple of weeks of very strong games played at even-strength over the past couple of weeks, the game the Flyers played yesterday afternoon against Arizona was somewhat more reminiscient of the type of game they’d been…
This is all a story you’ve heard before. The Flyers got blown at home again. On their Halloween game. It was decidedly not spooky, it was mostly just sad. It’s the same old story we’ve been telling, and we keep on telling it, and if you’re still here listening, know that we love you for…
Chuck Fletcher’s first move of what should be an eventful off season was to hire former Rangers, Canucks and Canadiens head coach Alain Vigneault to replace interim coach Scott Gordon behind the bench of the Philadelphia Flyers. Vigneault brings a very good resume to South Philly. Two trips to the Stanley Cup Final, 8 seasons…
Yesterday, we began to attempt to answer the question of what a potential contract extension with Ivan Provorov would look like. Provorov is eligible to sign a new deal with the Flyers this coming Sunday, and it wouldn’t at all be surprising for Ron Hextall and the front office to lock down the guy that…

Update: McGinn has indeed been called up. Rinaldo will be out at least a week. Zac Rinaldo’s leg injury doesn’t seem to be serious, at least as far as 20-stitch cuts to the leg go. He’ll likely miss Tuesday night’s game against the New Jersey Devils, but he’s not expected to be out all that…
