Steve Kuzma/Flyerdelphia Do you have a pulse? If you don’t, you may have one now. And if you did prior to Wayne Simmonds’ game-tying goal last night against the Toronto Maple Leafs, you may have a heart condition. The Philadelphia Flyers did nothing to keep the stress levels of themselves and their fans at […]
Flyers have no excuses for being on brink Steve Kuzma/Flyerdelphia If this is it for the Flyers, and after their 4-3 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, it very well could be, we'll always know the reason why.

Flyers fans fit that mold. They are passionate, dedicated, and […]

Photo courtesy of Steve Kuzma It was a game the Flyers had to have if they are going to make the playoffs. Michael Raffl scored a pair of goals, Wayne Simmonds and Shayne Gostisbehere also scored and, despite a late push by the Red Wings, the Philadelphia Flyers defeated Detroit 4-3 on Tuesday night at […]
Photo: Steve Kuzma/Flyerdelphia The day started with some minor roster shuffling for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Anthony Stolarz was needed as the Flyers emergency backup, leaving Jason LaBarbera to start in goal for the first time since Feb. 12. The Phantoms provided some early offense, but couldn't sustain it as a 2-0 lead turned into […]
Gostisbehere, top line lead way as Flyers pass huge test in win Photo: Steve Kuzma/Flyerdelphia When you look across the board at the scoresheet, the big names stand out. Giroux, Simmonds, Schenn, Gostisbehere. The four players the Flyers have seemingly relied on the most this season brought their best on Monday night. And the one who […]
