(Photo Credit/Associated Press) With the return of captain, Claude Giroux, the Flyers needed a win to keep themselves in the playoff hunt. Playing a struggling Arizona team, who is 1-4 in the past 5 games, Dave Hakstol chose to ride the hot hand in net by starting Neuvirth in back to back games. The Flyers […]

Shayne Gostisbehere is good at a lot of things, however, drawing does not seem to be one of them. A picture appeared on Reddit posted by user DJMcSkillet. It appears Gostisbehere was asked to sign a fan’s helmet, a pretty traditional request for a hockey player. However, this fan had a very specific request. Gostisbehere, affectionately […]

(Photo/Matt Slocum/AP) Oh look at that, the Flyers are gonna give up a goal with under a minute left……….PSYCH!!! This time around the Flyers were able to hold on to the lead by the skin of their teeth, and I’m not even sure teeth have skin. Since the beginning of the first period Michal Neuvirth […]

We’ll chalk this one up to a language barrier. Jakub Voracek, forward for the Philadelphia Flyers, was asked about the team’s feelings coming into tonight’s game vs the Maple Leafs without captain Claude Giroux. Voracek, a very colorful character, had an interesting response to the question:

Period 1: I knew this game was going to be interesting from the start, given that both teams need to win to remain in the playoff hunt. The game started as any Flyers’ game would by taking a quick penalty… thanks to Nick Schultz interfering with Stephen Gionta. The Flyers did a pretty good job […]

It was the moment that the hockey world had been waiting for. How would the Rangers get their revenge against Wayne Simmonds? The answer came quickly Sunday when, in the first minute of the game, the Rangers sent out Dylan McIlrath to face off against Wayne Simmonds in a retaliation fight for a February 6th […]

Just 59 seconds into the game, four players found themselves in the Sin Bin (Simmonds, White, Mcllrath, and Glass) with 5 minute majors for fighting. Shortly after, coincidental minors handed out to Zuccarello and VandeVelde, both for crosschecking. All this before even the first commercial break! During the first period, the Flyers had an early […]

It is no secret that the Rangers would try to retaliate tonight against Wayne Simmonds after an incident involving himself and Rangers’ captain, Ryan McDonagh. They did so by sending Dylan “Why are you even in this league?” McIlrath in to go after Simmonds in a first period fight. However, as PK Subban has pointed […]

Desperate to push themselves back into the playoff race, the Flyers found themselves trying not to fall asleep this afternoon against the Devils. This game started out as you would expect any Flyers/Devils to be. BORING right from the start. I mean it’s terrible how awfully predictable these games can be. The Devils absolutely smothered […]

Earlier today, I received word that Matt Read and Scott Laughton were out and Jordan Weal was set to make his second Flyers’ start. In addition, Rj Umberger surprisingly crawled back into the lineup. The second and third line were shuffled, the second line consisted of Raffl, Schenn and Cousins while the third line was […]

First period: The Flyers coming into this game with their heads high after a rough weekend losing both games. It was a slow first period by the Flyers and was definitely filled with penalties as was the entire game. Rickard Rakell opens the scoring with a power play goal assisted by Perry. Just over five […]

New York Rangers coach, Alain Vigneault, ripped into the NHL Monday after not suspending Philadelphia Flyers’ forward, Wayne Simmonds, for a punch during Saturday’s contest. Simmonds punched, Rangers’ captain, Ryan McDonagh after McDonagh cross checked the Flyers’ winger in the back of the head. Simmonds received a match penalty for the incident while McDonagh received […]

Welp, the Flyers managed to give up yet another lead to a divisional rival and lose 3-2, but thankfully not in a shootout this time. (Although we probably could have taken that extra point) The first period started off well enough with plenty of offensive pressure from the Flyers. The guys in orange were then […]

Wayne Simmonds was ejected just over ten minutes into the contest against the New York Rangers. Simmonds received a match penalty for throwing a punch at Ranger’s defenseman, Ryan McDonagh in retaliation for a aggressively high cross check by McDonagh to the head of Simmonds. McDonagh received a 4 minute penalty for high sticking as […]

Awful news for the Flyers today as Sean Couturier will be out 4 weeks after sustaining a lower body injury in Nashville. The man affectionately known as “Coots” has been a fan favorite of late and his absence could affect the Flyers’ playoff hopes. No word yet on who will replace Couturier in the lineup. […]
