Philadelphia Flyers
View image | gettyimages.com It is a date that lives in Flyers infamy. In the early morning hours of November 10, 1985, Flyers star goaltender Pelle Lindbergh crashed his red Porsche in Somerdale, NJ, not far from the Flyers practice facility in Voorhees. The crash left him brain dead, and he died at age […]
As the Philadelphia Flyers crawled out of their six-game losing streak with a win against the Winnipeg Jets, fans can finally be hopeful. With improving power-play action, offense hopefully getting fire under their skates and scoring and defense carrying pucks with no turnovers, one may dream of improvements. Dream of quick improvements. Here are three […]
It was a week that started off slow and ended with a few points in the standings, and finally a victory. But there was one main reason the Flyers were able to compete in three of the four games they had this week. It's time once again to select our Player and Play of the […]
November 4, 2000 When Flyers goalie Brian Boucher lost the starting job to Roman Cechmanek in the 2000-01 season, the 28 year old "rookie" from the Czech Republic was not about to give it back anytime soon.

View image | gettyimages.com The Flyers power play had gone scoreless in the previous 16 attempts entering Saturday's game in Winnipeg. They were beyond due for some success. Success came in the form of a 2-for-5 night that helped the Flyers defeat the Jets, 3-0, snapping a six-game losing streak. Finally, it all came […]
For the first time in five games on Thursday, the Flyers managed a point in the standings, forcing overtime against the Calgary Flames. But just like the previous five games, the Flyers came out on the losing end. It has been a disappointing and frustrating two weeks for the Flyers, whose losing ways started on […]
Jakub Voracek was, in my opinion, clearly the team MVP last season. He hit a career high 81 points, and was all over the ice. Therefore, you probably don’t need me to use any advanced stats or graphs to tell that his stat line as of Thursday of 12 games played, 0 goals, 4 […]
