Zac Rinaldo hit on Dainius Zubras
For what ever reason the Philadelphia Flyers were going after Dainius Zubras in this series and last night Flyers littled used forward Zach Rinaldo caught Zubras with this hit in the Flyers end of the ice, in my opinion this was a questionable and a border line hit, some might say that it was dirty. Also, what the heck was Max Talbot doing in this video? Personally, I seen worse...
Smart hockey lifts Devils past Flyers
History books will teach that the 2011-12 New Jersey Devils qualified for the National Hockey League's Eastern Conference final at 10:06 p.m. ET on the night of May, 8, 2012.

It was in that infinitesimal moment that Flyers center Claude Giroux, whom...
Will The Flyers Win Without Giroux?
from Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer, In a twisted way, not having their superstar center - suspended by the NHL on Monday for a head hit on the Devils’ Dainius Zubrus on Sunday - may unify the Flyers and give them a rallying cry.
That’s their hope, anyway.
And, hey, if you’ve watched how the Devils have embarrassed the Flyers over the last three games, all with...

Heading into game 5 Tuesday night, the New Jersey Devils must seize the opportunity to eliminate the Philadelphia Flyers and move on to the Eastern Conference Finals. the Flyers will be without their superstar Claude Giroux, who is serving a one-game suspension for his hit to the head of Dainius Zubrus Coach Peter DeBoer wants his team to have a killer instinct and finish the Flyers...
One Game At A Time
As much as I want to avoid saying this, the Flyers are facing elimination and now have to take this series one game at a time. The Flyers are down in the series 3 games to 1, and now return to Philadelphia for game 5. As we said last series when the Flyers were up 3-0 in the first round, the fourth win is ALWAYS the hardest.
The Flyers haven't played "Flyers hockey...

Fantasy Hockey Playoff ONE (5/7)
Yes this one is going to hurt tomorrow but definitely a rallying point for the Flyers as Claude Giroux was suspended for one game (Zubrus hit and/or abuse of officials). The bottom line was that took away from what happened in the game as New Jersey rallied back from a 2-0 deficit to win 4-2 in a game that was an exact reversal from anything we expected in this...
Neither Rhyme Nor Reason
Brendan Shanahan has a tough job. There's little question about it. There's no sarcasm intended there; it's a job most certainly wouldn't want but plenty say they can handle. The NHL's Department of Player Safety is existing in some semblance of a vacuum during the postseason, namely with the hits from this past weekend's Eastern Conference semifinal games...

Giroux faces hearing with Dept. of Player Safety
csnphilly.com
Philadelphia Flyers star forward Claude Giroux has a hearing with the NHL’s Department of Player Safety this morning and I believe that Giroux deserves to have a one game ban for his head shot on Dainius Zubrus at the 19:56 mark of the second period in last night’s Eastern Conference Semifinal game against the New Jersey Devils. Zubrus was stunned by the...
