Former Broad Street Hockey writer Eric Tulsky has joined the Carolina Hurricanes full time as a hockey analyst, the team announced on Thursday. Eric worked part-time for the Canes last season. “Eric is an extremely intelligent person and has been an innovator in the field of advanced analytics,” said Canes general manager Ron Francis. “We…
Is it okay to boo Ilya Bryzgalov’s poor play? You likely think it’s fine. I certainly think it’s fine. But not everybody agrees. There was a pretty interesting Twitter debate on the subject Monday evening between Kyle Scott of Crossing Broad and Randy J. Miller of the Camden County Courier-Post. The whole back-and-forth was pretty…
Bob Ford, a respectable Inquirer columnist, talks about Marty Biron keeping up his recent play. There’s also some interesting talk at the end of the article, including a quote from Marty, about the Continental plane crash in Buffalo last week. Biron played in Buffalo for 11 seasons, and his wife has relatives that live in…
In light of the news regarding Travis Konecny — as well as Joel Farabee’s — absence due to his wisdom teeth getting removed, the Flyers have made yet another call up and will be giving another prospect an NHL debut possibly: Roster move: We have recalled forward David Kase from the@LVPhantoms (AHL). Kase will wear…
Jordan Weal was traded from the Philadelphia Flyers to the Arizona Coyotes of Greater Glendale-Phoenix on January 11, 2019. Since that date, the Flyers have a record of 8-1-1. Is this a coincidence?

Last night’s loss to the Florida Panthers wasn’t really a just result, as despite dominance in the shot category, the possession category and the chances category, the Flyers…
The All-Star Game is this Sunday in Raleigh. I’ll be on the ground in North Carolina eating all the barbecue I can providing all the coverage I can on the event, obviously with a tilt in the direction of Danny Briere, Claude Giroux and Peter Laviolette. In the run-up to that, Steve Whyno from Philly…
Jaromir Jagr might not play for the Philadelphia Flyers again. Man, that sucks. The guy really, truly does love it here. This quote from Jags after last night’s loss will make you sad, but it makes you sad in that happy sort of way. If that doesn’t make any sense to you, keep reading. You’ll…

Sean O’Donnell signed with the Philadelphia Flyers a year ago today. Now, he’s signing somewhere else. TSN’s Bob McKenzie reported that he’s signed a one-year, $850,000 deal with the Chicago Blackhawks. It’s not surprising, really. SOD definitely wore down over the course of the season with the Flyers last year, and it’s looking as though…
