After getting flown in by private jet from New York City, and after meeting with the head honchos in the Flyers organization all day Thursday with his agent, Ilya Bryzgalov took some time on Friday to get to know Philadelphia a little bit. He also signed up for a Twitter account, posting the following messages…
It’s a minor change, but you’ll want to adjust your pocket calendars anyway: the Flyers game against the Washington Capitals on March 4, 2017 has a slight time adjustment. Originally scheduled for 7 p.m. ET in the Nation’s Capital, the game will now be a 7:30 p.m. puck drop. I miss pocket calendars. Those little…
Hockey is a really dumb game sometimes. On Sunday in Game 2, the Flyers were thoroughly outplayed by the New York Rangers for three periods, yet they were able to come ahead with the 4-2 victory.

Back in June, we reported on a class-action lawsuit taken up by hockey fans against the NHL and a collection of its local broadcasters — like Comcast SportsNet in Philadelphia or MSG in New York. You can get the full rundown on things here, but to sum things up as simply as possible, the league…
*Yesterday the Eagles made a roster move that made Claude Giroux the new longest-tenured athlete in Philadelphia. Which is pretty cool. Anyhoo, your Ginger King doesn’t get nearly enough respect, both locally and nationally. [NBC Sports Philly] *Oskar Lindblom, once again, got so, so close to getting his first NHL goal Monday night against the…
