The Flyers opened the season by facing the defending Eastern Conference champions in Tampa Bay and took that game to overtime. On Wednesday, the Flyers get their shot at the defending Stanley Cup champions on home ice. The Chicago Blackhawks are in town for the Flyers fourth game of the season. The opening face-off […]
For eight years, Flyers fans were treated to the consistent defensive talent of Kimmo Timonen. He was a mainstay on the blue line, a warrior. He never missed a game unless he absolutely had to. Which is what made last August so scary. Timonen had played through everything you could throw at the human […]
Monday's 1-0 shutout win for the Flyers over the Florida Panthers carried much more meaning than just being the first of the season for the Orange and Black. In addition to being Dave Hakstol's first NHL victory, it was also the first where his system carried the Flyers to a win. In two out of […]
Drew Brees was never comfortable on Sunday afternoon. That’s probably because three times during the Eagles Week 5 win over the Saints, a big No. 91 was knocking him to the ground. Twice on those three sacks for Fletcher Cox, the ball was knocked loose. Both times, they were recovered, once by Cox himself. […]
If the Flyers could take one lesson from a 7-1 loss in Florida on Saturday, it was that they could not rely on a goaltender to bail them out time and time again in games. Defensively, they would need to make plays at every part of the ice. In Monday night's season opener, the team […]

At 2-3, things are not perfect, and there isn't a way to sugarcoat the Eagles victory. They finished with 39 points. At the half, they had just 10. […]
The logic behind the Eagles 39-17 win over the Saints on Sunday is simple. When your quarterback passes for 333 yards and completes 32 of 45 passes, when your running backs combine for 180 yards on the ground, when your defense forces four turnovers, chances are you will win and win big. The Eagles finally […]
Needing a win, the Eagles needed to do more than just score more points than the opposition. They needed a game that could boost confidence. There were still plenty of mistakes, but this Eagles team looked more confident in picking up their second win of the season. After clawing their way to a 10-7 halftime […]
