*The Penguins ran circles around the Flyers in the second period in their 5-1 on Tuesday night. [BSH] *How Paul Holmgren kind of, sort of, eventually gave the Penguins Jake Guentzel, who’s turned out to be a productive third-round pick. [BSH] *Part of the reason Brandon Manning keeps finding himself in Dave Hakstol’s lineup, and…
Welcome back, Flyers fans! Did we all have a pleasant bye week? Are we ready to sink back into hockey? Well, the Flyers sure are, and they gave us a nice welcome back victory over the Devils last night. Let’s see what we learned.

Our week-long look at how the Flyers are faring at the season’s unofficial half-way point continues today with a look at the team’s seven most common defensemen this season. (You can find links to the first four parts at the bottom of this post.) Like we did on Tuesday with the team’s nine wingers, we’ll…
A year after the Flyers struggled repeatedly with a Devils team that clearly seemed to be beneath them, the orange and black have come out firing against a Devils team that’s been in playoff position since the season began, and it’s helped pull them back into the playoff race. Three goals in the game’s first…
We reached the halfway point of the Flyers’ season this afternoon, and say what you will about it, but this sure does seem like a team that saves its best performances for good teams. (Which is probably why they played poorly last Tuesday against the Penguins, am I right?) A game that featured Tyrell Goulbourne’s…
If the Flyers are one of the hottest teams in the NHL, then the Sabres are easily one of the coldest going right now. The two teams square off for a 7 p.m. puck drop from the KeyBank Center tonight on NBC Sports Philadelphia in the Philly area and MSG-B in the New York market….
Well would you look at that! A night of ceremonial fun and a nice little win to cap it off. It was nice knowing you, Leafs, see you next season, thanks for the three wins to sweep the series. And with that, let’s dip into what we learned. All stats and graphics via Natural Stat…
Is anyone still awake? Did we make it through the end of that game? I’m still alive, but barely. The Flyers closed out their back to back and swing through Florida tonight, and after falling flat against the Panthers last night, things tonight went, well, just about as far from expected as possible. The Flyers…
It’s safe to say that the Flyers are tired of seeing Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings. Quick made 36 saves and the Kings swept the season series with the Flyers with a 4-1 win at the Wells Fargo Center on Monday night. The Kings improved to 11-1-1 when holding a lead after two…
1st Period Considering the amount of offense the Toronto Maple Leafs have, this game had a surprisingly slow start. The Flyers were doing a great job of keeping the speedy Leafs in front of them — not letting them to get around the defense by closing quickly when they did get the puck — while…
