Those words from Craig Berube, said after the Flyers shootout loss on Thursday to the league-worst Buffalo Sabres, fit perfectly with the Flyers shootout win over the league-leading Nashville Predators. The Flyers controlled play for the majority of the game and scored on […]
The Flyers played one of their best games of the season against the best team in the NHL. Wayne Simmonds and Ryan White scored. Rob Zepp made 22 saves including both shootout attempts against and the Flyers defeated the Nashville Predators 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday.
Three weeks ago, the two players that carried the Flyers to the All-Star break displayed their talents as part of All-Star weekend in Columbus. The Flyers have played nine games since the All-Star Game. Claude Giroux has no goals and four assists. Jake Voracek has one goal and three assists. It was inevitable that the […]

Three valuable points in the standings were there for the taking and the Flyers failed to gain any of them. That's what makes Sunday's game against the lowly Buffalo Sabres not only a huge […]
The Philadelphia Flyers (21-22-7) look to win their fourth straight game and get back to .500 on the season as they play host to the Toronto Maple Leafs (22-24-4) tonight at the Wells Fargo Center.

For so much of the 2014-15 season, Steve Mason has been the key to success for the Flyers. The goalie that practically carried the team through the early portion of the season had been sidelined for six games prior to Tuesday night. Mason wasn't the starter on Tuesday night, but he might as well get […]
Steve Mason's status was anything but certain heading into Tuesday's game. The Flyers goalie had been recovering from injury, and it appeared Thursday would be his chance to return. Sometimes, plans change. 5:50 into the game, Craig Berube had seen enough of Ray Emery. The Coyotes opened a 2-0 lead in the first 5:50 of […]
When the Flyers dropped an afternoon game to the Bruins in pretty lifeless fashion, the strong start to a crucial homestand seemed null and void. A loss like that showed the Flyers were not on the level of the teams they had to pass in the standings to recover for the playoffs. On Monday, the […]
A late power play presented an opportunity for the Flyers in a stalemate of a game. The third period saw the Flyers and Washington Capitals trade goals. The Flyers had to survive a penalty kill with seven minutes left in regulation before the opportunity was presented to them. When a second chance came up in […]
