Nick Boynton will make his Flyers debut tonight, but it’s not the way we wanted this to go down. Chris Pronger will be out of the lineup tonight with what the team is calling an upper-body injury. He’s listed as day-to-day, and that’s all the information we have available to us at the moment. Of…
Jason Akeson Age: 24 (June 3, 1990) Contract Status: Restricted free agent Organizational afterthought to playoff contributor You certainly can’t accuse Jason Akeson of coming out of nowhere. Added to the Philadelphia Flyers organization in March of 2011, the undrafted Akeson led the team’s AHL affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms, in scoring in each of his…
The good: the Flyers are 15-5-1 since their losing streak. The bad: Travis Sanheim is now a Phantom. The ugly: Jori Lehtera and Brandon Manning are still lineup staples. We break it all down and try to balance joy and anger on this week’s episode of BSH Radio. Go Birds. Follow us on twitter @BSH_Radio…
*It’s finally game day! The Flyers are in St. Louis tonight on NBCSN, so we have to deal with the infernal 8pm-ish puck drop. Here’s some updates from Ron Hextall on the status of the team. *The lines will look a little different tonight as Taylor Leier is now a top line winger and we…

They did it, gang! The Flyers came back home and after taking a moment to collect themselves, they were able to rally and pick up a handy win over the Anaheim Ducks last night to stop their losing streak in its tracks. Travis Konecny made his return to the lineup and had sort of a…
So as you might have heard, the playoffs start this evening, with games in Chicago and St. Louis beginning at 8:00 ET. And as you also might (I mean, maybe just might) have heard, the Flyers will not be participating in these playoffs. It’s only the second time in nearly the last two decades that…
