Goalie controversy in Philly?

The irony behind the Flyers early-season success

Via Beating The Buzzer  |  November 25, 2011
Getty Images BY: DUSTIN POLLACK Thursday, June 23rd 2011. In just one day, the Philadelphia Flyers changed the entire make up of their franchise. Out was captain Mike Richards and leading-scorer Jeff Carter and in was what the Flyers had seemingly needed for years, a proven goaltender. Ilya Bryzgalov came to Philadelphia with a great track record and was supposedly the one who...

Phillies take note: Flyers’ youth being served in NHL resurgence

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  November 26, 2011
I have to give credit to the Philadelphia Flyers and general manager Paul Holmgren.

(Hey, the championship, all of them, except the Sixers, come through Philly). Did Holmgren stand pat? Nope. He traded away not-so-old veterans Jeff Carter and...

Black Friday With the Flyers

Via Pro Sports Blogging  |  November 25, 2011
One of my favorite Flyers traditions is their annual afternoon Black Friday game. This year played at 3pm, the Flyers will play the Montreal Canadiens in their second matchup of the season. The teams last played in Montreal was near the end of October. The Canadiens scapegoated assistant coach Perry Pearn before the game after the Habs won just 1 of their first 8 games. Whatever...

Tempers Flare As Rangers Beat Flyers 2-0

Avery and Simmonds had words as well, which is not surprising due to their previous incident. Sergei Bobrovsky started his second straight game, a clear message from the coaching staff to Bryzgalov to get his act together. Full video highlight...

Eklund: The Buzz: Heated Rivalries and Hated Rivals

Via HockeyBuzz  |  November 26, 2011
It hardly seems possible that the season is already past the quarter point and longtime archrivals -- and upcoming Winter Classic opponents -- Philadelphia and New York are playing today for the first time in the regular season. The Flyers also have yet to play the Penguins, so there will be lots of wars to come over the rest of the season. As I write this, the first period at...
