I’m going to deviate slightly from the hockey theme for a moment, but bear with me. I promise there’s a point. During high school, I held the position of defensive specialist for our volleyball team. For the uninitiated, that means I played in the back row only, usually as a substitution for a ...

Tonight’s Flyers-Capitals game featured the most ridiculous display of officiating ineptitude I have ever witnessed in person. After such a statement, you could call me a homer. That would be true, if I didn’t believe that the Flyers lost this game because they could not manage to capitalize o...

If you were ever wondering what it might be like to shoot on Tim Thomas or play Mike Richards for a day, check out this article from the Boston Globe. Not quite on the level of a Brett Leonhardt story, but fun nonetheless.

In his Breakaways portion of yesterday’s Red Wings-Flyers wrap up, Sam Carchidi pointed out that both Scottie Upshall and Daniel Carcillo have contributed 3 points to their respective teams since the trade deadline and are equal in plus/minus. Sounds like an okay deal for the Flyers, right? Swa...

Postgame. I called this a statement game this morning, and Martin Biron and his fellow Philadelphia Flyers delivered a firm response this afternoon. Staying out of the box, taking advantage of the power plays given them, and maintaining a confident structure under the duress of the talented Penguins...

If you enjoyed Ed Moran’s article on the Philadelphia Flyers’ latest uniform addition, then you should check out The Flyer Frequent’s blog on the same topic from a few weeks ago. Some pretty good photographic evidence over there . . .

Tim Panaccio is reporting that the Flyers have signed Swedish goaltending prospect Joacim Eriksson. If that’s true, it’s a fantastic move for the Flyers. They have great organization depth at forward and some solid prospects on defense, but goaltending is a gigantic black hole.

The title of this blog, taken from Adam Kimelman’s book about the Flyers, could easily describe the 2008-09 Flyers’ style of play. Good: Look at the games against Pittsburgh and New Jersey. The Flyers played disciplined hockey, patiently waiting for opportunities and capitalizing on scoring...

According to this morning’s news, the Flyers plan to announce the 2008-09 season team award winners prior to tonight’s home game against the Florida Panthers. For those unfamiliar with the Flyers’ team awards, there are three: the Bobby Clarke Trophy (team MVP), the Barry Ashbee Trophy (most...

The pathetic excuse for hockey the Philadelphia Flyers presented against the Calgary Flames during the first period left me contemplating this morning’s blog. Perhaps I would talk about the importance of work ethic. Or I could address whether fans should boo their own team (something I will likel...
