Welcome to Between the Pipes, a look at the Philadelphia Flyers and the NHL through linkage.

When the Flyers emerged from the locker room in the third, Ray Emery was between the pipes to relieve Steve Mason. Mason had allowed four […]
It took five games, but the Flyers finally have their first win. But it certainly wasn't easy. The Flyers scored three goals in the third period to force overtime.
