Photo by Amy Irvin/38 Photography It's not a stretch to say that Hal Gill's play cost the Flyers the game on Sunday afternoon. Gill was on the ice for the Rangers' 2nd and 3rd goals that effectively buried the Flyers at 3-0 in the second period, and both came directly following miscues from Gill. […]
There's really no denying that Vinny Lecavalier has been a disappointment since coming over from Tampa Bay this offeseason with a 5-year, $22.5M contract in hand. His play at even-strength was horrendous (here's a good breakdown of how bad things were from late February), and the only thing saving his production was his power-play scoring […]
Photo by Amy Irvin/38 Photography With last week’s edition a rousing success (at least for me personally), I figured we’d bring back the #AskSteezy mailbag for another go-around this week. Feel free to send me your questions on Twitter @GoingHard_inger

First, on Tuesday afternoon they sent a 3rd round pick in the 2014 draft and a 2015 2nd rounder to the Islanders for defenseman Andrew […]
(picture via philly.com) The play of Michael Raffl has been a surprising revelation for most Flyers fans so far this season. Entering the year as an unproven undrafted free agent who played in the second level of Swedish pro hockey last year, not much was expected from him. The Flyers, however, saw things differently […]
Scott Hartnell seems to go through streaks where he’s beloved by the Flyers fan base followed by stretches where he’s an overpaid bum weighing down Claude Giroux whose albatross of a contract will hamper the Flyers for the foreseeable future. We’ve already seen both of those at times this season, as Hartsy had a slow […]
