The result on Friday matched the result last Wednesday. A shutout loss to the Rangers featured a lifeless and uninterested Flyers team. This is not the same team that was rolling entering a five-day break on Nov. 8. This Flyers team, 1-6-1 in their last eight games is not a playoff team. And teams that […]
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 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 […]
Brayden Schenn, Mark Streit, Wayne Simmonds and Braydon Coburn scored. . Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek each added two assists a piece. Steve Mason wasn't extremely busy but made some ten bell saves when called upon and the Philadelphia FLyers ended their four game losing streak with 4-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets in Philadelphia.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
When the day began, the Flyers had two of the league leaders in assists. Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek were tied with 13. Voracek extended his lead there while Giroux padded his points total in a different way. It had been since Oct. 18 since Giroux had last scored a goal, an overtime winner in […]
