The Flyers season is starting to become a broken record. The effort was there but the goals weren't. "We played well enough to win, but you have to score." You've probably heard this before. The result was the same for the Flyers as they fired 39 shots on Darcy Kuemper on Thursday night to score […]
The Flyers woes at Madison Square Garden continued on Wednesday night, extending their losing streak to three games. One player came to play. Steve Mason made 32 saves, including several highlight-reel saves, to keep the Flyers in the game. The rest of the roster simply didn't show up. That spelled a 2-0 loss for […]
For a good portion of Tuesday, the status of captain Claude Giroux was up in the air. Craig Berube didn't know anything. R.J. Umberger played time on the top line while hoping Giroux was good enough to play. Finally, after hours of speculation, Ron Hextall revealed the mildly bad news. Giroux would be out for […]
A week ago, the Flyers were riding high after wins in six of their last eight games. Two games this weekend changed all that. The Flyers followed a sloppy 4-3 loss to the Blue Jackets with a sloppier 6-3 loss in Montreal against the Canadiens. There were points there for the taking in both games. […]
A long layoff hurt the Flyers on Friday night. Lucky for them, there is not much time to dwell on the recent opast and a chance at redemption waiting on Saturday. Redemption comes in two forms in this Saturday night game between the Flyers and the Montreal Canadiens. The Flyers had a three-game winning streak […]
Five days off on the schedule helped end a five-game home winning streak for the Flyers. But the break was hardly a reason for the Flyers sluggish effort against a reeling Blue Jackets team. Columbus entered Friday night's game on a nine-game losing streak – 0-8-1 in their last nine games – and stunned the […]
Whether it is one of his 157 goals as a Flyer or one of the countless Hartnell down moments, everyone has a memory of Scott Hartnell. The winger spent seven seasons with the Orange and Black before an offseason trade sent him to Columbus. Two of the next five games for the Flyers are against […]
Once again, it's Thursday and it's been a slow week around here with five days between games for the Flyers. But we're about to change all that. It's time to reach into this week's mailbag.
Six games into the season, the Flyers had one win – and a very poor one at that. They had four points in the standings, one from a blown game against Montreal at home on Oct. 11, where a 3-0 lead in the final period ended in a 4-3 shootout loss. They had another point […]
It will go down as one of the unsung plays of the season for the Flyers. In the closing seconds, Nick Grossmann stood tall and blocked a shot by John Mitchell that was bound for the back of the net. A goal would have blown a 4-0 lead in the final 20 minutes. Instead, the […]
