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, […]
It's that time again, as Flyerdelphia picks this week's Player and Play of the Week. Our Player of the Week is Claude Giroux. While Jake Voracek has been on a roll since the start of the season, Giroux has consistenly put up points himself. He carried a five-game points streak into Wednesday's shutout loss to […]
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 […]
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 […]
When the captain struck for a late power-play goal, it appeared the Flyers struggles in the standings were finally over. Just three minutes separated the Flyers from at least a point and a chance for more. But in the final minute, it all changed on a broken play. The puck took a strange hop off […]
If the Flyers couldn't get up to play on Wednesday in New York, perhaps an earful from the coach and GM and an emotional pre-game ceremony will do the trick. After a pitiful effort in a 2-0 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday, the Flyers return to the ice on Thursday to face the Minnesota […]
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 […]
Another week is in the books. The Flyers didn't play until Friday and suffered two losses on back-to-back nights. It was a disappointing week for the team, but there were some moments. Here are this week's Player and Play of the Week. Our Player of the Week remains Jake Voracek. In two games, Voracek added […]
