Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs is in the Hockey Hall of Fame. He’s the chairman of the NHL’s Board of Governors; the man arguably responsible for three NHL lockouts; the real-life Mr. Burns who made his employees pay $7,000 in taxes on Stanley Cup rings; the man who didn’t “want to attract the kind of people…

Throughout the season, we’ll be taking a walk down memory lane whenever the Flyers open their season series against an opponent. We’ll be remembering a game, goal, or highlight Philly created while playing against that particular team. It won’t always be the most notable memory the Orange and Black have against that team, but it’ll…
Four goals weren’t enough as the Flyers’ losing streak continued with a 5-4 loss in overtime to the Islanders on Friday.

Chris Pronger spoke to reporters on a conference call earlier today, and he covered a whole multitude of topics — from his injury issues to the captaincy of Mike Richards to his continued penchant for The Amazing Kreskin. There’s some good news, but for the most part, even he is still in the dark when…
We’ve had a lot of debate around here over the last month or so about whether or not the Flyers should involve themselves in a trade for Thrashers superstar Ilya Kovalchuk. Some have said that a deal to Philadelphia would only be for Kovalchuk as a rental, and that while there are obvious down sides…

Unfortunately, the first professional season for Stolarz was less impressive, as the…
The Olympic break is finally here. Our last mailbag was a little over two weeks ago, so, with the Flyers still 17 days away from playing their next game, I decided to answer some questions about how the team has fared since the middle of January. In this week’s BSH mailbag, I took a look…
