*Big congrats to those Vegas Golden Knights on their first Cup. Watching a team win at home is always fun; good for them. Pretty wild ride for that club, huh? [ESPN] *This is Jack Eichel’s first Cup, and he probably wouldn’t have it if not for all of that drama surrounding his surgery. At the…
Three Stars 1. Phil Myers The Myers breakout continues, with another snipe goal tonight. Ever since his call-up, he’s looked like the player we all expected to win the sixth defenseman job out of training camp. Along with his offensive production, he’s making the smart reads defensively, and playing a strong physical game which was…

Tonight, the Flyers look to snap a two game losing streak and regain their step. Luckily, they’re facing just the team to get them back in the win column. After a smashingly successful road trip, the Flyers have been far from perfect lately. Just this past week we saw the Tampa Bay Lightning ruin their…
Flyers forward Danny Briere, who earlier in the week thought he might be able to play against Buffalo tomorrow, will not take the ice until Monday against Dallas, at the earliest. “I’ll be skating by myself without playing for the next couple of days, it looks like. It’s improving every day, but it’s just at…
“I see too many kids going the wrong way. They don’t have the respect or the know-how to treat the sport – even Sidney Crosby. You see him bitching, whining and crying. He’s supposed to be the poster boy of our league and yet every time he gets hit, he’s grimacing and complaining to the…
*BIG DAY, FOLKS. The Hurricanes are in town and it sure would be nice if the Flyers put up a 60 minute effort, cleanly beat a lesser team, and secured themselves two of the three points needed to clinch. THAT WOULD BE REALLY NICE. [Philly.com] *Anyhoo, ahead of tonight’s game let’s look back at Tuesday…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Classic low-event Devils hockey game Ever since the mid 90s, the New Jersey Devils have owned the same, distinct identity. Their whole strategy is to choke the life out of teams, and win low-scoring games that contained…
*The Flyers won again! Wearing those wrongly colored jerseys! And don’t know about you guys, but your author found herself really liking Ryan Hartman rather quickly. Welcome to the madness, my dude. Anyhoo, the game. RECAP! [BSH] *So about Ryan Hartman… if you’re not terribly familiar with him, here’s what we can expect from the…
Late on the night of Dec. 14, while the Philadelphia Flyers were winning their 10th game in a row, two of their prospects were doing some winning of their own. Not a game; that’s not the important part. What they won were roster spots on Team Canada for the 2017 World Junior Championships. Carter Hart…
