In one of the strangest seasons in recent memory, the Flyers with a win today and losses by Pittsburgh and Washington, can tie for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division. Need we remind you again, this team also lost ten consecutive games at one point this season. Now, against an Ottawa team that just…
Last night was in many ways a tale of two games, as a mostly uneventful 60 minutes turned into an action-packed overtime and shootout which saw the Flyers come out victorious over the Canadiens at the Bell Centre. The game was scoreless through 60 minutes due in large part to the outstanding goaltending of Charlie…
Minus-11 — the Flyers’ goal differential at 5-on-5 since December 23 (the day on which Dave Hakstol first put Shayne Gostisbehere and Ivan Provorov on the top pairing together) in the 836:39 of ice time in which at least one of Gostisbehere or Provorov has been off the ice.

On this week’s Flyperbole, Steve and Craig are all about trades. The guys discuss the Flyers’ trade for Petr Mrazek, Erik Karlsson, the lack of Henrik Lundqvist in orange and black (7 goals? Who needs him!), and the upcoming NHL trade deadline. There’s also talk about how the heck the Flyers got to within 3…
For the second time in less than a week, it’s the Flyers and the Blue Jackets, but this time the Flyers will play host in a key matchup between two clubs presently in playoff position in the crowded Eastern Conference. Back on February 16, the Flyers picked up an overtime win and two big points…
Guys! Guys wake up! It’s over, the game is over. And the Flyers won! We learned some things too, we took some notes while you were dozing and have a host of (well, the usual ten) observations for your consumption. Let’s dig in. All stats and graphics via Corsica.Hockey, Natural Stat Trick, and NHL.com 1….
Good morning, all. Are we all recovered from last night’s game? The Flyers, on a six game winning streak, squared off against the Carolina Hurricanes, who were hoping to break their own six game losing streak, and things went just about as expected for the Flyers. But we learned some things from it. Let’s get…
Early December wasn’t that long ago, was it? The Flyers had just suffered through a 10-game losing streak that seemed to have sunk this season before it could really even get going, and the fanbase, as a whole, was pretty high-strung. Here was some idiot, on December 6, talking about how unlikely it was that…
Look at that, pals! It’s officially the weekend! The Flyers played a hockey game in Columbus! Do you want to relive it? Do you want to live it for the first time, because you were out doing other Friday night things, instead of watching the game? I definitely wouldn’t blame you if it was that…
Close your eyes—wait no. Not actually. I didn’t mean that. Figuratively. Close your eyes figuratively but keep reading what I’m saying. Think back. It’s about 10pm on April 29th. It’s no usual Saturday night. Twitter is on fire. The Flyers have just made a historic jump in the draft lottery. Judging by the odds heading…
