Claude Giroux has steadily earned himself elite status in the NHL, sitting 2nd in points (tied with former Flyer Joffrey Lupul) and 3rd in goals behind Toronto’s Phil Kessel. The weight on his shoulders has gotten even greater with injuries to James Van Riemsdyk and Jaromir Jagr.
Giroux averaged 18:42 of total ice time per game [...]

Yesterday's news about Chris Pronger needing arthroscopic knee surgery (this time on his left knee) could not have come at a worse time for the team.

So it was more than just a virus with Chris Pronger.
He needs his left knee cleaned out. He will undergo arthroscopic surgery on TUE. This is his second knee surgery as a Flyer.
He had RIGHT knee surgery in the summer of 2010. Same thing. Arthroscopic but it was more invasive than this procedure which the Flyers are calling a "minor" cleanup.
GM Paul Holmgren also...

Jim Rutherford has been a busy man the last couple of days as he has now claimed 24-year old winger Andreas Nodl off waivers from the Philadelphia Flyers. At first, I didn't think much of this move because Nodl appeared to be nothing more than a depth forward and I assumed the 11 goals and 22 points he had last season was a product of playing on a line with Mike Richards. However...

This promo video from the Adirondack Phantoms, the Philadelphia Flyers' AHL affiliate, needed three things to perfectly capture the 1980s MTV aesthetic it's going for: a cameo by Martha Quinn, a model/actress writhing on the hood of a Camaro and/or Thunderbird, and a prolonged sax solo … even if Starship's "We Built This City [On Rock and Roll]" didn't...
