The common theme: no one is happy with the […]
View image | gettyimages.com Like it or not, the Flyers are set to close out the 2014 portion of their schedule, as just two games remain — tonight at Arizona, and Wednesday at Colorado. There are plenty of adjectives that the Flyers and their fans could use to describe calendar-year 2014. "Boring," however, isn't […]
The Flyers update on goalie Steve Mason featured some good news. Mason will not be out long term after suffering an injury in practice on Friday.
Welcome to Between the Pipes, a look at the Philadelphia Flyers and the NHL through linkage.

Though drafted by the Quebec Nordiques, he was traded to the Flyers and instantly a future leader from his rookie season in John LeClair started his career […]
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 […]
