If the Flyers don't win another game this season, and fade away as a disappointing season, at least they will have Sunday's game against the Penguins to hang their hat on. The Flyers completed a season sweep of the Penguins with wins on Wednesday and Sunday, both by a score of 4-1. Sunday's game, the […]
Every time the Penguins fired a shot, Steve Mason was there to answer the call. Through 22 first-period shots, Mason made 21 saves, easily keeping the Flyers in the game.

An end to Craig Berube's tenure is only the first step, but really, you can look at the roster and wonder who even should be around for […]
In a matchup in December, a Flyers miscue at center ice provided the Sharks an odd-man rush in which Matt Nieto scored the game-winner with just 11 seconds to go in the game. The Flyers will look to avenge that tough 2-1 loss in San Jose back as they take on the Sharks at 1 p.m. on Saturday afternoon […]
