Today's matinee was a chance for the Flyers to get back at the Boston
Bruins who beat them Wednesday night in Philadelphia. A case of the Flu

Tampa Bay Lightning winger Marty St. Louis stood at the center of the rink, ready for his shootout chance. Slowly, he shuffled his bare, sock-less legs down the ice in sandals rather than skates, before putting the puck past the goalie. He joyously celebrated, because he wasn't...

The Flyers have set their opening day roster. There are two surprises, one being that 18 year old Luca Sbisa made the team and other is the return of Antero Niittymaki to the Flyers roster.
Sbisa made the club partly due to injuries to Randy Jones and Ryan Parent's upcoming...
Another Round With the Hurricanes
After splitting a pair of meetings against the Carolina Hurricanes last week, the Flyers will face them again tonight in Raleigh and yet again on Thursday at home. The Canes have a new face behind the bench though, with the severed head of Peter Laviolette bouncing down the stairs of the RBC ...
It's the Hurricanes. Again.
The Flyers and the Hurricanes face off at the Wachovia Center tonight for the fourth and final time this season, with each of the games coming in about a 2-week span. So far, so good, with our guys sitting at 2-0-1 in the series to date. Antero Niittymaki will get the start in goal...

Well, that's not the best way to start a season.
The 2008/2009 campaign started off a little rough for the Flyers, what with Sarah Palin receiving a mountain of boos and the Flyers falling behind by 4 goals in the first period, but the Flyers were able to fight back to makes...

The Flyers have many decisions to make following their early exit from the playoffs, in particular, who is going to be the Goalie next season. Martin Biron and Antero Niittymaki will both be free-agents, and the Flyers salary cap situation will make it almost impossible to sign them...

Remember when the Flyers started off the season winless in their first 6 games? Seems like a distant memory now as the team has won 13 of its last 18 and ascended into second place in the Atlantic Division, a mere 3 points behind the Rangers, a team that has played 3 more games than...

Now this is getting completely ridiculous. The injury bug that has hit the Flyers this season has gotten completely out of control and has now inflicted over a third of the roster. The fact that the Flyers are even in second place in the Atlantic Division is a testament to just how...
Appropriately, the Avalanche Are in Town
For the first time in awhile, Philly residents had to brush snow off their cars before commuting home today, probably in weather-related traffic. As if according to plan, the Flyers host the Avalanche tonight at the Wachovia Center, where the home team will try to remain one of the...
The Metropolitician Drops His Gloves, Carter Rings Up Another, But Flyers Lose
The streak had to end sometime. I was hoping it might get to the 8 or 10 win mark, but we'll have to settle for 6. Not bad considering what the Flyers looked like before shredding through every opponent for 2 weeks. It was a weird and chippy game, one that saw both Jeff Carter...

Flyers Can Score at Will on Valentine's Day: 2 goals in 44 seconds, then 3 in 67
With many of their wives and girlfriends at the game to promote the Flyers Wives Fight for Lives Carnival, the Flyers scored early and often on Saturday, beating the woeful Islanders, 5-1. Claude Giroux opened the floodgates with his second of the season, and he played a great, high-energy game ...
Flyers Battle Back to Win Showdown in DC
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this may have been the best best game of the season so far. You may quickly recall the come-from-behind win against the Hurricanes, when the Flyers erased a four-goal deficit and won in a shootout. That was probably the most dramatic ending...
