Welcome once again to another edition of Between the Pipes, a look at Philadelphia Flyers hockey and the NHL through linkage. The hockey season begins in just one day and the Flyers will hit the ice in two days. So this is the final stretch without meaningful hockey for the next few months. Here are […]
About eight hours after the Eagles 23-20 defeat in Washington, 1-3 didn’t look so bad. The Dallas Cowboys lost to the New Orleans Saints in overtime, dropping to 2-2 on the season. Suddenly, the Eagles outlook wasn’t a last-place team, it was a second-place team, trailing three 2-2 teams. Not as bad as it seems. […]
With the news that Andrew MacDonald would be placed on waivers, the Flyers final roster was solidified. That right there locked 21-year-old Scott Laughton and 25-year-old Brandon Manning onto the opening night roster. But it was really more than that. In practices on both Saturday and Monday, Laughton and Manning were not extras. They are […]
For three weeks in a row, the term must-win came up. Sunday's game really was a must-win in terms of the standings. The Eagles now sit at the bottom of the NFC East at 1-3, a battered, dejected team not sure how to correct the struggles that have warranted such a record. There were plenty […]

The Eagles third loss of the 2015 season, in a nutshell, summed up the Eagles lack of ability and failure to live […]
Reminiscent of their first-half play in Atlanta and at home against Dallas, the Eagles offense was stymied through 30 minutes with a dismal second-half outlook. Then a confident Sam Bradford showed up. Bradford connected for three touchdown passes in the second half to put the Eagles in front. But with plenty of time left, the […]
The early-season woes continued for some Eagles in Week 3, despite the team stepping up in the absence of many starters to claim the first victory of the season. With the first one out of the way, maybe a Week 4 divisional game is when the Eagles kick it into gear. Of course, there is […]
Hello again and welcome back to Between the Pipes, looking at Flyers hockey and the hockey world through linkage. With the preseason now complete, the focus shifts to preparing for the start of the regular season. Here are a couple of stories worth noting.
