Andreas Lilja began on-ice rehab with the Adirondack Phantoms Monday morning on his surgically repaired hip. He joined the Phantoms during their morning practice at the Glens Falls Civic Center, according to the Post-Star and the Saratogian, allowed to do so only because he was injured before the NHL imposed a now 76-day long lockout…
Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. With the Flyers on the second night of a back-to-back and facing a Detroit team that had not played since Thursday, it was fair to expect that the Red Wings might have the overall edge in play….
From the perspective of a Flyers fan, the general story of their No. 2 overall pick (which they got after they moved up from No. 13 in the lottery) (boy, that’s still fun to type, isn’t it!) has been considered a pretty straightforward one. In a draft that’s largely considered to have two top talents…
After 715 days, it’s finally a playoff hockey game day for the Philadelphia Flyers. They’re down in Washington, D.C. to take on the league-best Washington Capitals in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET. Playoff hockey can get confusing with television coverage. All games are on national television…
The Stanley Cup Finals start this weekend–a matchup that everybody surely saw coming–and in honor of that, we’re taking a look at three things the Flyers could learn from each team. Both the Florida Panthers and the Vegas Golden Knights have characteristics that the Flyers should try to emulate in their rebuild as they try…
While the world may seem like it’s on fire after the Flyers’ 7-1 loss in Pittsburgh on Tuesday night, it’s really not —just yet. The Flyers find themselves at 5-5-1, earning 11 points in as many games and sitting 12th out of 16 teams in the Eastern Conference. But they are in the midst of…
Some bad news strikes the Flyers on this Sunday evening, and it’s on the injury front. Center Vincent Lecavalier, who had already missed the last three games due to what were being called back spasms, has been sent back to Philadelphia and will be out for 3-4 weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his back,…
Back when the Philadelphia Flyers selected Scott Laughton with the 20th pick in the 2012 NHL Draft, the talk surrounding the team’s newest prospect was that he projected as a two-way center with high-end defensive instincts. The optimistic scouting report comparables included prime-age Mike Richards and Selke Trophy winner John Madden, both exciting possible outcomes…
As we did last night, tonight we’ll walk you through an uninspiring Flyers loss — this one a 6-3 defeat at the hands of the Edmonton Brandon Manning Haters, also known in some circles as the Edmonton Oilers — that you hopefully did not stay up late to watch by way of our minute-by-minute reactions….
That sucked. What happened last night? The Flyers lost ugh who cares. (Wait, you do? Really. Huh. I guess that’s why you’re here, isn’t it? Feel free to read more about that game here.) The Bruins lost! That helped matters. They fell behind 6-0 to Chicago and put together a bit of a rally in…
