The season ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper. Those hoping for a fast-paced game, with the Ottawa Senators desperate to make the playoffs and complete their improbable second half comeback were surely disappointed. The Senators were surprisingly sleepy throughout, but were lucky to face a Philadelphia Flyers squad that was even more…
For those readers that really don’t know much about me, I’m a sophomore journalism major at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. At QU, I host a weekly radio show on our campus station, 98.1 FM WQAQ, titled The Field of Play, where my colleague Alex and I talk for an hour about all the crap we…
We continue our not-completed, not-gonna-be-completed Grading The Flyers series today with a look at James van Riemsdyk. Ironically, this was written last weekend before JvR signed a massive contract extension, but of course, that also provides some unique context here. If the stats lines on this post looks funny to you, try signing up for…
As if you needed more evidence that Chris Pronger is awesome, here’s the video from intermission last night as he watched his two boys from the bench. They participated in the Mites on Ice game after the first period, and instead of heading to the locker room, Pronger and his wife Lauren stuck around on…
The way that title is worded, you’d think this would be another of those “it’s not that bad!” stories. You’d be wrong. Rather, this is just to show exactly how bad the Flyers offense has been this year in comparison to last year. The team statistics are obvious – they aren’t scoring, their power play…

The Flyers lost to the New York Rangers back on March 14 mostly due to a pest named Sean Avery. He baited the orange and black into dumb penalties and made them pay with timely offense. Here’s what we wrote in our game recap that day. Avery drew two penalties, scored two goals and was…
It was a very different kind of a shootout than the 9-8 horror show between the Philadelphia Flyers and Winnipeg Jets combined for in late-October, but when all was said and done it was yet another loss for the orange-and-black. While it strayed from the formula of earlier in the year, it’s a finish the…
NHL teams (not named the Philadelphia Flyers) are making coaching changes early this year, and we break down all of the moves on Ice Sport Radio. Craig Berube in for Mike Yeo! (For now.) Ken Hitchcock in for Todd McLellan! Peter Chiarelli’s continued follies are also discussed, as is the Toronto Maple Leafs’ inexplicable (not…
3-2 Canadiens through 2 periods. Dominate for almost the entire frame and give up two goals in 20 seconds. Sounds about right. Couturier goal, though. Hence the picture of him with a random Buffalo dude. Flyers start the third with 1:51 of PP time.
