Steve Mason made a strong case last year to earn a spot among hockey’s elite goaltenders, but so far, his 2015-16 season had not gone according to the same script. Against the Vancouver Canucks tonight, Mason looked back to his old self. In his first start since December 8th, Mason carried the Philadelphia Flyers to…
Sometime last week, Kurt posted BSH’s internal roundtable discussion regarding the Flyers’ pre-Olympic break MVP. Unfortunately, the email chain died right before there were talks of a least-valuable player. So we’re going to pick that back up right here. Vincent Lecavalier’s time in Philadelphia hasn’t gotten off to the start most fans were hoping for….
The time is upon us, folks! We’re nearing World Juniors time, and the national teams have just started releasing their preliminary rosters for their teams. And guess what, you guys! There are a lot of baby Flyers on these preliminary lists! Now, the teams still have a bit of work to do, and will be…
This post has been updated. The Flyers are still extremely popular, at least with the suits at NBC/Comcast. They’ll make an extremely ridiculous 18 (!) appearances on NBC or NBC Sports Network in 2015-16, which to my knowledge is the most they’ve appeared on the network maybe in their history. A year ago, they made…
Throughout the season, we’ll be taking a walk down memory lane whenever the Flyers open their season series against an opponent. We’ll be remembering a game, goal, or highlight Philly created while playing against that particular team. It won’t always be the most notable memory the Orange and Black have against that team, but it’ll…
Hands up, who’s following the Brandon Wheat Kings this year? They’re currently second in the WHL’s East Division, and third in the Eastern Conference. They’re fifth in the overall league. In short: they’re doing pretty well. And their 6-2 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers last night certainly helped. You know who helped get that…
We’ve been scratching our heads over the last few weeks trying to understand exactly what Paul Holmgren has up his sleeve. Whether it’s signing goons to long term deals, planning on trading a fan favorite who’s spent 11 years here, signing a goalie before the seeing what was available on the open market, trading for…
Maybe it’s like this every offseason, or maybe it’s just my perception given that we’re two years removed from another of these extremely disappointing playoff runs, but we’ve been getting a lot of email and a lot of feedback since the season ended for not being harsh enough. You know, we’re not holding people accountable….
On the penultimate day of the 2015-16 NHL season, the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in Philadelphia by a score of 4-1 to clinch a spot in the playoffs. It was a fun day for all of us. I don’t think anything of significance has happened for the Pens since then, but maybe I’m…
*More possible free agent targets in the form of Drew Stafford. [CSN Philly] *Help your friends at BSH decide who should rank third on our community draft board. [BSH] *Speaking of the draft, let’s take another look at who the Flyers might go for with the seventh. [Sons of Penn] *Nick Merkley is a possibility…
