Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good – so long as you don't make it a habit. But after three straight games of it – including Tuesday night against the Blue Jackets - it's certainly turned into one. Brayden Schenn's goal with 56 seconds left on a deflection just barely made it over the line. […]
It had been two long weeks since the Flyers claimed a win. After six games of frustration, the Flyers finally came out on the right end of a final score. Steve Mason was a big reason for that, stopping 37 of 38 shots to down the Kings in the Flyers 2-1 win on Saturday afternoon. […]
#458805636 / gettyimages.co The Philadelphia Flyers (8-13-4) will look to end their current six game slide as they search for a win against the Los Angeles Kings (14-7-5). This is the second and final meeting between the Flyers and Kings this season and is the final game of the team's California swing. Game time is […]
Wayne Simmonds stayed with the puck and found a way to beat Frederik Andersen in the closing seconds of the third. Unlike Tuesday's result, the Flyers stole a point just before the buzzer. But the result remained the same, as the Ducks defeated the Flyers in a shootout for the second time this season. It […]
Tuesday night's game against the Sharks had two different feels. On one hand, the Flyers were playing their best game in recent memory. And they were buzzing toward the end of regulation. As overtime neared, visions of the Flyers win against Los Angeles in late October were in mind. The Flyers just needed the finish, […]
The result on Friday matched the result last Wednesday. A shutout loss to the Rangers featured a lifeless and uninterested Flyers team. This is not the same team that was rolling entering a five-day break on Nov. 8. This Flyers team, 1-6-1 in their last eight games is not a playoff team. And teams that […]
The Flyers turned in a second-period effort that would suit a last-place team. Steve Mason was the victim. Craig Berube pulled the goalie that made 46 saves on Monday to keep his team in the game as Mason's teammates floundered in front of him again. For Berube, the message was the same following Wednesday's 5-2 […]
It's time for a line change for the Flyers. Game after game, it was one line truly powering the Flyers offense. When they were snuffed out by the New York Islanders on Monday, Craig Berube finally noticed what was obvious for several games. The Flyers have a lot of players who can score. But they […]
The Flyers grabbed another point in the standings on Monday night, somehow surviving the onslaught of shots that the New York Islanders fired on Steve Mason. Mason was the Flyers star on Monday. The rest of the Flyers were bailed out constantly. In a game where the Flyers had their top line shut down, […]
The final result finally was in the Flyers favor. The Flyers had lost four straight games. But their last win had come on Nov. 8 against Colorado. A two-week drought didn't feel like it lasted just four games. The 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, the team that started the four-game losing streak, came […]
