Kimmo Timonen has played in every major hockey tournament that exists, and he’s come close to victory so many times. He finished fifth once and fourth twice with Finland in the 1993, 1994 and 1995 World Junior Championships. He won bronze at the 1998, 2010 and 2014 Olympics. He came within one single goal of…
Over the course of the last year, we at Broad Street Hockey have received a lot of heat from certain members of the mainstream Philadelphia Flyers-focused media. We’ve been lectured in press boxes up and down the East Coast, empty threats have been sent in our direction, and we’ve been called more names than we…
The Flyers Stadium Series jersey that we shared with you yesterday is now official, with the team unveiling it and putting it up for sale at the Wells Fargo Center this morning.

For an organization that used to be well-known for making big splashes in free agency, it’s a true change-of-pace for the Philadelphia Flyers when their biggest contractual decision of the offseason is the status of an existing player on the roster. No longer do the Flyers chase down the biggest prize on the market every…
We’ve got a jam-packed studio for our bye/ASG break episode. Dot com has begun publishing the Winter Top 25 Under 25 and we break down the first group, numbers 25-21. We also get into the differences between Gordon and Hakstol, as well as Nolan Patrick’s resurgence. Oh yeah and there’s some guy named Carter Hart…
Claude Giroux is not on the NHL’s All-Star fan voting ballot, which is absolutely ridiculous on every possible level. Of all the players on the Flyers roster, Giroux is the one dazzling super star. There are obviously plenty of players on the team who are All-Star-caliber, but of all of them, Giroux was born to…
The Flyers, fresh off a 6-3 win over the Blues on Saturday, are back at it again with a scorching hot matchup between two last place teams when they meet the Sabres today at the Wells Fargo Center. Though both the Sabres and Flyers are in last place in the Atlantic and Metropolitan Divisions, respectively,…
Chuck Fletcher doesn’t talk to the media very often. In fact, it seems head coach John Tortorella has served as the Philadelphia Flyers’ primary liaison of information to both the media and fan base lately, exhibited by the letter he penned to season ticket holders earlier in February. But with the NHL trade deadline less…
(I was already writing this before Emery was scratched for tonight’s game in Edmonton, but now it’s even timelier, I suppose). There are two stereotypes that have stuck with the Flyers for decades: constant goonery and constant goalie controversies. And since there has been little goonery to speak of recently, let’s turn our attention to…
3 — The number of times in their history that the Flyers have won a first round series 4-0. The most recent year it happened was 1995. The two years before that? 1974 and 1975.
