Claude Giroux isn’t one of the three finalists for the Hart Trophy, and while there seems to be a lot of outrage over that this afternoon, I don’t see it as a big deal. It’s not that he’s undeserving of a nod as a finalist, but in the end, a nomination simply doesn’t make all…
Hey, so if you haven’t heard, that whole Philly Live! thing that’s replacing the Spectrum is now called Xfinity Live! And by putting an exclamation mark at the end of the branding, it means we’re forced to be really excited about the whole thing, even if we’re really not. Those sneaky bastards. In any case,…
Apparently the Philadelphia Flyers’ senior advisors did not have any input on the decision to fire Chuck Fletcher and promote Danny Briere to interim GM. Are we buying this? Steve and Quigz discuss the Three Wise Men, the NHL’s jersey deal with Fanatics, the state of the tank, further Pride Night protests, and more. Make…
Just two deals for the Philadelphia Flyers at this 2015 NHL trade deadline, but it sure feels like more than that, as the two longest-tenured players on the team were each shipped out in different deals.

The Flyers have been snake-bitten in the goal column of late despite outplaying their opposition on an almost nightly basis. Thursday saw luck finally fall their way in a remarkably even match up with the Blues. St. Louis is among the top teams in the Western Conference by just about every measure, and the Flyers…
The news over the weekend that the Philadelphia Flyers have lost two more prospects for nothing — goaltender Nic Riopel and forward Dave Labrecque, both 2009 draft picks — is just the latest example of organizational failings when it comes to prospects. We’ve been over it a number of times: in the salary cap era,…
This photo was taken on Monday morning on the I-95 side of the Wachovia Center. Don’t get used to calling it that, however, as clearly the Wells Fargo Center will be here pretty soon. It looks like they might even be attaching the letters to the building today, what with the crane-looking device positioned next…
