Claude Giroux
The Flyers season is starting to become a broken record. The effort was there but the goals weren't. "We played well enough to win, but you have to score." You've probably heard this before. The result was the same for the Flyers as they fired 39 shots on Darcy Kuemper on Thursday night to score […]
When the captain struck for a late power-play goal, it appeared the Flyers struggles in the standings were finally over. Just three minutes separated the Flyers from at least a point and a chance for more. But in the final minute, it all changed on a broken play. The puck took a strange hop off […]
If the Flyers couldn't get up to play on Wednesday in New York, perhaps an earful from the coach and GM and an emotional pre-game ceremony will do the trick. After a pitiful effort in a 2-0 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday, the Flyers return to the ice on Thursday to face the Minnesota […]
The Flyers woes at Madison Square Garden continued on Wednesday night, extending their losing streak to three games. One player came to play. Steve Mason made 32 saves, including several highlight-reel saves, to keep the Flyers in the game. The rest of the roster simply didn't show up. That spelled a 2-0 loss for […]
For a good portion of Tuesday, the status of captain Claude Giroux was up in the air. Craig Berube didn't know anything. R.J. Umberger played time on the top line while hoping Giroux was good enough to play. Finally, after hours of speculation, Ron Hextall revealed the mildly bad news. Giroux would be out for […]
The Flyers will be without their captain for the next two games. Claude Giroux exited practice on Monday and seemed to be fine, but as the day wore on, it was clear he was dealing with an injury. Giroux has a lower-body injury that Ron Hextall said would keep him off the ice for a […]
Another week is in the books. The Flyers didn't play until Friday and suffered two losses on back-to-back nights. It was a disappointing week for the team, but there were some moments. Here are this week's Player and Play of the Week. Our Player of the Week remains Jake Voracek. In two games, Voracek added […]
A long layoff hurt the Flyers on Friday night. Lucky for them, there is not much time to dwell on the recent opast and a chance at redemption waiting on Saturday. Redemption comes in two forms in this Saturday night game between the Flyers and the Montreal Canadiens. The Flyers had a three-game winning streak […]
Five days off on the schedule helped end a five-game home winning streak for the Flyers. But the break was hardly a reason for the Flyers sluggish effort against a reeling Blue Jackets team. Columbus entered Friday night's game on a nine-game losing streak – 0-8-1 in their last nine games – and stunned the […]
