Although the NHL postseason is a few weeks away, the postseason for the CHL (OHL, WHL, and QMJHL) and the NCAA are about to begin, while the SHL postseason is underway. Across those three leagues, 16 prospects of the Philadelphia Flyers are set to compete in their league’s postseason. Let’s take a little bit of…
Saturday’s game was 60 minutes of horrifyingly sloppy pond hockey. We’ve been harping on the Flyers much improved process of late, controlling the even strength chance battle and generally playing solid hockey despite some unlucky losses. Though entertaining from a fan’s perspective, this game was a departure from that process. The Flyers held their own…

A week or so ago Travis, Geoff and I got together and answered most of those questions you left us. Not all, but most. Hear all about which Flyers beat writers we would take to our deserted island, what we would get the Flyer we drew in Secret Santa (with Googling advice from Travis), and,…
Believe it or not, we are solidly into the second half of the NHL season. Every team in the league has played at least 43 games, and the average team has played 46. Time flies when you’re having … (/gestures at this Flyers season) … whatever this is. And as of this moment (we’re not…
