On a cold, damp night that made it feel like November instead of playoff time, the Flyers took down the Canadiens 3-0 in Game 2. Maybe it was the weather, but the atmosphere wasn’t nearly as charged as it was for Game One on Sunday, and neither were the Flyers. Despite being outplayed for the majority of the first period, Danny Briere’s power play goal sent the Orange and Black to ...

The Flyers certainly carried the momentum from their stirring comeback win over the Bruins into Sunday night’s Game one against Montreal at the raucous Wachovia Center. Observations from the Press Box I walked into the building alongside Ian Laperriere, who was in great spirits and talking to anyone who crossed his path. Lappy was sporting a t-shirt that just said ’Bruce Lee’ which seems perfect for him. Before the game, several different versions of the ...

It all comes down to Wednesday's Game 7 in D.C. between the ...

Game Three Recap  Philadelphia dominated from the drop of the puck, outshooting the Devils 34-19, including 18-4 in the third period and overtime. Ilya Kovalchuk and Patrik Elias were each held without a shot in the game. Kovalchuk had six shots total in Games One and Two, and 25 in his five previous games as a Devil against the Flyers. A big reason for the lack of production from New Jersey's big guns could be ...

Despite the outcome, the 2010 Winter Classic was a thrill, as well as a once in a lifetime experience for the thousands of Flyers fans who made the trip to Fenway Park.   Philly fans once again were out in full force for a road game. Boston fans were commenting on how they had never seen their city taken over like that. If there were 40,000 in Fenway on New Year's ...

After another lackluster effort against Florida, the Flyers find themselves with 14 losses in their last 17 games. Consider some of these staggering facts for the team The Hockey News picked to win the Stanley Cup: 32 points in 35 games.
