The Anaheim Ducks allowed six goals on opening night to the Colorado Avalanche, so naturally they’re thinking about adding a defenseman or 12. Luckily, the Flyers have a defenseman or 12! Dreger on TSN: #Ducks are looking for a defenseman. #Leafs, #Penguins, #Flyers involved. Anaheim may part with young forward for D help. — Todd…
I know this is a bad look because I’m, you know, responsible for “covering” these games, but I’ll be completely honest and say that I forgot there was a game tonight. A playoff push is allegedly being made, and yet if you had asked me what I had planned for this evening, I would have…
The Flyers beat the New York Islanders tonight by a score of 4-3 at the Center in South Philly. Biron made 24 saves in the win, while Yann Denis made 20 saves for New York in the loss. Marty is now 9-0-0 in his last nine against the Isles, and the Flyers are 3-0 against…
Interesting conversation with a source out of Philly that the Penguins, who were active Thursday acquring Chris Kunitz and a prospect for defenseman Ryan Whitney, are trying to pry forward Scottie Upshall from the Flyers, who are trying to free up space to secure their blue line. They would love to deal Danny Briere, but…
And we’re back! Yesterday we recapped Joel Farabee and Adam Ginning’s performances in the World Junior Summer Showcase—a couple of players who played in the World Junior Championship last year for their respective national teams, and who feel pretty much like locks for this year’s teams, as well, as long as they’re healthy and permitted…
We’ve had some time to digest this Wayne Simmonds trade and what it means for us emotionally and practically. It has been tough to see Mr. Train wearing the Nashville Predators logo over the past week, but we all wish him well and hope many cups are in his future. After collecting our thoughts, we…
*So here’s the thing… surely there aren’t many Flyers fans who actively want to trade Shayne Gostisbehere. But what if they did? [BSH] *Carter Hart played well despite not seeing a lot of action in Team Canada’s win over Great Britain yesterday. [TSN] *Sure Jordan Binnington’s “rookie” season was a big deal for the St….
Philadelphia Flyers fans know the story by now. Chris Pronger, despite likely never playing again, will count against the Flyers’ salary cap during the offseason. The only relief the Flyers can get from his $4.941 million cap hit is by placing him on long-term injured reserve (LTIR). It’s at this point, though, that many fans…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. The Flyers came away with the victory in the end, but they would have walked away with two points easily, if only a hockey game was forty minutes rather than sixty. For the vast majority of the contest’s…
Evgeni Malkin won’t be suspended for this hit on Sean Couturier, but if his name were … oh, I don’t know, not Evgeni Malkin, he’d have racked up enough infractions in the five Eastern Conference Quaterfinal games between the Flyers and Penguins to at least warrant some kind of supplementary discipline. His hit that knocked…
