Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Flyers skated right with a great Wild squad Continuing their recent run of “one good game, one bad game,” the Flyers put together an all-around solid effort against the Minnesota Wild, who currently have the second-most points…
At the beginning of 2016, when we last compiled our Top 25 Under 25 countdown, then-Phantoms forward Nick Cousins was ranked No. 16 on our list. How things have changed. Since then, Cousins has taken a big step forward — from the Phantoms top forward, semi-frequent Flyers call up and AHL All-Star to, potentially, full-time…
Generally speaking, I think the Flyers Twitter account is sort of lame. It’s not their fault, really — it’s just very generic and bland, and the total opposite of the @LAKings or even the pretty funny Florida Panthers feed or that of the Columbus Blue Jackets. But this hash tag they used this morning? Gold,…
*Oh there was a game last night? Had no idea. Don’t know what happened. You can probably find a recap somewhere on this website. *Why didn’t we watch, you ask? Because Dave Hakstol continues to make maddeningly poor choices and I’d rather sleep than be bored and/or angry for two hours. [BSH] *We spent some…
The Flyers have traded frequently scapegoated defenseman Ryan Parent to Nashville in exchange for the rights to Dan Hamhuis, who becomes an unrestricted free agent July 1st. Rumors had swirled around Hamhuis coming to the Flyers around the trade deadline, but he stayed in Nashville through the end of the season and until his team…
The National Hockey League has suspended Dan Carcillo for four games as a result of his punch to the face of Washington’s Matt Bradley last night. Paul Holmgren does not agree with the suspension. Here’s what he said in a statement released by the team: “Decisions come down from the league…do I agree with them…
Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux, also known as Orange Jesus, joined Twitter yesterday at about 5:45 p.m. I was his 700th and 701st follower (approximately) just a few minutes later. When I checked in about 20 minutes later, he was up to 6,000. This morning, as of this writing right this second, he has 47,999…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Classic low-event Devils hockey game Ever since the mid 90s, the New Jersey Devils have owned the same, distinct identity. Their whole strategy is to choke the life out of teams, and win low-scoring games that contained…
[Full Coverage] – [AP Recap] – [Boxscore] – [DET Reaction] The Flyers dropped their preseason opener last night, 3-1, against the Detroit Red Wings. James van Riemsdyk scored for the Flyers early in the second period, but three unanswered goals by the Wings would be too much for the orange and black to handle. Goaltender…
272 — the total number of NHL games played between the six defensemen who will take the ice for the Flyers tonight in St. Louis, assuming that Will O’Neill does in fact play in Radko Gudas’ place. If you’ve somehow managed to forget, here are those defensemen, along with the number of games they’ve played…
