It’s been awhile – first week of October? – since I last did a breakdown post, but playing around with the NHL’s video player got me motivated to do another one. Add in a day full of studying and I’m doing some serious procrastinating (I’m actually watching the Eagles…) So before we get to the…
In their first game in almost a week, the Flyers will try to extend their current winning streak as they welcome an old friend back to the Wells Fargo Center.

UPDATE: Episode is complete. Things we talked about include but are not limited to: * Game 7 of Flyers-Rangers and how it was bad. * The Vincent Lecavalier problem, and what it means for him and Brayden Schenn. * Whether or not Kimmo Timonen will be back, and whether or not the Flyers can afford…

The season is young, but the Flyers have struggled thus far to bring the puck into the offensive zone with possession. The average team dumps the puck in on about half of their zone entries; last year the Flyers were a little better than average, keeping the dump-ins down to 47 percent, but this year…
The 2023 NHL Draft class has been heralded as one of the best we have seen in a very, very long time. But what has been missing from the first 30 or so picks has been a true pest. A teenaged prospect that despite not even being fully developed as a hockey player just thrives…
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…

After looking bulletproof during their 10-game winning streak, the Flyers have quickly lost any ground they had made up in the standings and surely watched the gap between them and the non-playoff position teams shrink thanks to a five-game slide. In an effort to shuffle…
