The results are in from a recent Sports Illustrated survey, and Flyers forward Scott Hartnell has been ranked as the fifth-dirtiest player in the National Hockey League. The poll surveyed 324 NHL players and 5 percent of them ranked Hartnell as the dirtiest. Chris Pronger of the Ducks and the Stars’ Steve Ott came in…
The Flyers were off on Wednesday night, but there were two other games in action, and both of them had at least some slight impact on the Flyers’ chances at playing hockey games into late April. How so? Let’s take a look. What happened last night? The Islanders managed a 3-1 win over visiting Ottawa,…
The Flyers travel to New Jersey tonight to kick off the second half of the season. This will be the first meeting of the year between these two teams, and the first meeting between the 2017 draft’s top two picks, Nolan Patrick and Nico Hischier. New Jersey got off to an incredible start to the…
Two weeks after the Phillies won the 2008 World Series — 3,445 days ago — I was sitting in my college dorm room and I was pissed off. There were roughly 789 Phils blogs back then; before Twitter or even before Facebook let your grandpa sign up, these were the places you went to talk…
The most frustrating losses — and this is true of every sport ever, not just hockey — are the ones where you see the same thing happening on every misfortune your team suffers, and yet even though it’s plain as day, they keep happening. Whether it’s because of stupid mistakes, bad coaching, or the other…
Batten down the hatches, folks, cuz the Flyers might get blown away in this game. The Carolina Hurricanes are 8-2-0 in their last ten, and absolutely demolished the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-0 last weekend—a team that just beat the Flyers by a lopsided score of 5-2. There’s no way this ends well for Philadelphia, right?…
Some might claim that this on-ice quote from Zac Rinaldo tonight is everything that’s wrong with the NHL these days. No respect amongst players, no regard for head injuries, etc. I’m as sensitive to concussions and head injuries as the next person, but this trash talk from Rinaldo to Phil Kessel off the opening draw…
With the NHL Draft just a month away, BSH Radio is starting to get a little stir crazy. The strengths and weaknesses of this year’s playoffs are discussed, with the divisional format and more lax officiating the main targets of the gang’s ire. Moving onto Nico Hischier and Nolan Patrick, Bill runs through scouting reports…
While the image of Claude Giroux capping the Flyers’ wild comeback in the 2019 Stadium Series game two nights ago in dramatic fashion fresh in our minds, we turn our attention to a deadline that has rapidly approached: Trade Deadline 2019. In most years the deadline is a huge deal in and around the Flyers,…
With the Flyers coming into today as the NHL’s lowest-scoring team, facing off with an opponent that is both outstanding defensively and a-bit-less-than-that offensively, a low-scoring game would have surprised no one. And for the most part, that was what we got. But a higher-paced third period and overtime saw things pick up a bit,…
