We’ve argued at least five times here at BSH that Eric Lindros deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Now, it seems like he’ll have a friend on the inside. Former Flyers general manager (and current team senior VP) Bob Clarke has been named to the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee. He’s one…
*Ron Hextall recently spoke about a whole bunch of hockey things so let’s read about it. [BSH] *The Flyers have spent the summer asking you to vote on the best play of the 2014-2015 season and they finally crowned a winner. It’s good, not great. [Flyers] *Prospect Christian Marti sat down with Coatesy. [Flyers] *And…
*So this Lawson Crouse fellow…is he really worth of a top-ten pick? [Along The Boards] *More Lawson Crouse. We should probably know a lot about this kid. [NHL Numbers] *You’ve all voted and Timo Meier fills out the top-13 on our community draft board. [BSH] *A look at who might drop out of the top…
Peter Laviolette was on 97.5 The Fanatic with Mike Missanelli this afternoon, and he talked about the whole “Dry Island” thing that blew up this morning with Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. I’m paraphrasing here because I only heard the interview live and don’t have a transcript, but it’s nice that he provided a bit…
The Flyers entered tonight’s game fresh on a three-game losing streak, in which they had played pretty poor hockey for most of it, and their opponent was none other than the best team in hockey this season in the Washington Capitals. There was, frankly, not a lot of reason for optimism coming into this contest…
You guys! The Phantoms did a good thing tonight! After the longest five games maybe in the history of ever (or at least it felt like it), the Phantoms closed out their series against the Checkers and advanced to the Eastern Conference final. This is exciting stuff! Let’s take a look at how we got…
With the 158th pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, the Flyers have selected right winger Cooper Marody from the Sioux Falls Stampede of the USHL. Marody split time between two USHL teams — the Stampede and the Muskegon Lumberjacks — this past season. He put up a total of 58 points in 52 games across…
After two straight years of unimpressive results, the once-fearsome penalty kill of the Philadelphia Flyers bottomed out during the team’s first round playoff series last spring against the Washington Capitals. The shorthanded units allowed eight goals on just 17 opportunities in the first three games of the series, essentially gift-wrapping the Capitals a 3-0 series…
The Flyers were unable to solve Blues rookie netminder Jordan Binnington in a 3-0 loss to the Blues on Monday night. The 25-year-old turned aside all 25 shots he faced in his first NHL start and goals by former Flyer Brayden Schenn, Vladimir Tarasenko, and David Perron paced the visiting Blues. It’s the Flyers’ seventh-straight…
Despite a fourth straight loss last night, there were some positives to be taken from the Flyers’ 4-1 defeat to the Vancouver Canucks. There were some very solid stretches of play in that game, and some excellent individual performances. However, it did see one trend continue that the Flyers are going to want to cut…
