26 seconds in the mind of Ilya Bryzgalov
Â
It's amazing, when you think about it. A meteor, rocketing through space for millions --Â billions --Â of years finally came to its end by burning up in the atmosphere of planet earth, in plain view of someone's appropriately placed dash camera. Amazing!
What a rare happenstance! Â They say something like this only happens once a decade, and only once every 70...
Pens and Flyers renew best rivalry in NHL
The Pens and Flyers square off once more tonight at Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh. For my money this is now the best rivalry in hockey. Much like the Avs and Red wings had years ago these teams have a genuine dislike for each other which brings out the best and worst in both teams. Last season the Flyers for the most part owned the Pens, especially in the playoff series which...

The Harlem Shake: Flyers Edition
The 'Harlem Shake' is a fad/craze/sensation that has been making its rounds on YouTube and social media sites over the past couple of weeks.Â
It is admittedly starting to get old, but it's really hard not to enjoy this one.
The Flyers first goal in last night's 6-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins was undoubtedly odd, but Pheonix Coyotes forward and TwitterÂ...
Not A Very Good Team In Philadelphai
from Sam Donnellon of the Philadelphia Daily News,
It would be one thing if the second-year players who showed promise in smaller roles last season were the cause of this. Then you could talk about experience and improvement. But with the exception of Sean Couturier, who turned 20 in December, they have handled the added pressure. Brayden Schenn has 14 points. Read, now sidelined...

Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Trap Games, Bryzgalov, Read
Even before the opening faceoff of last night's game, the Philadelphia Flyers were in trouble. The match against the Florida Panthers was the epitome of a "trap" game. These are the sort of matches that may favor one side on paper -- superior talent, better record, season series advantage -- but which are actually ripe for the underdog team to win.
The Flyers were...
