Luke Schenn
The Flyers battered blue line took another hit on Saturday night. At 19:07 of the first period, Luke Schenn was taken into the boards by Nathan MacKinnon, resulting in a five-minute boarding major. Avalanche head coach Patrick Roy was furious with the call, as Schenn appeared to lose his footing before going into the boards. […]
It will go down as one of the unsung plays of the season for the Flyers. In the closing seconds, Nick Grossmann stood tall and blocked a shot by John Mitchell that was bound for the back of the net. A goal would have blown a 4-0 lead in the final 20 minutes. Instead, the […]
When the day began, the Flyers had two of the league leaders in assists. Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek were tied with 13. Voracek extended his lead there while Giroux padded his points total in a different way. It had been since Oct. 18 since Giroux had last scored a goal, an overtime winner in […]
The Flyers couldn't have asked for a better start to a four-game homestand, securing wins against the Oilers and Panthers both by 4-1 finals. The next opponent for the Orange and Black also comes from the Western Conference, as the Colorado Avalanche make their only appearance of the season at Wells Fargo Center. The opening […]
Jake Voracek extended his points streak to seven games on a great feed from Claude Giroux. Chris VandeVelde was quickly taken off the top line to get Wayne Simmonds better chances. Those were two storylines that will carry into the next game. But the one that would normally be overlooked is the scoring depth the […]
With Michael Raffl out for six weeks, which Flyers will step up? This week's mailbag answers that and more. (Photo by Amy Irvin/38Photography) It's time for another week of mailbag questions. Let's take a look at what we have this week.
Steve Mason made 35 saves in his first win of the season on Tuesday night. (Photo by Amy Irvin/38Photography) Craig Berube refused to consider the factors off the ice for the Oilers on Tuesday. What mattered was the effort of his own players. The Flyers turned in their best game of the season on Tuesday, […]
Jake Voracek scores his first of two goals in the Flyers 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. (Photo by Amy Irvin/38 Photography) The Flyers were dealt a similar hand to the one they couldn't take advantage of on Saturday. The Oilers were coming in without their captain and leading scorer Taylor Hall. […]
Jake Voracek carries a five-game points streak into Tuesday's night's game against the Oilers. (Photo by Amy Irvin/38Photography) The Flyers trip to Florida last week ended with two different losses, a hard-fought 4-3 defeat in Tampa and a listless loss to the Panthers. This week, the Flyers enjoy the confines of home for three games. […]
There were no penalties called in the first period. In the second, nine were called between the two teams. But it was a late third-period penalty for too-many-men that proved most costly to the Flyers. Ironically, it was also one of the few that they agreed with following a 4-3 loss to the Tampa Bay […]
