Set the DVR: Philadelphia vs. Winnipeg – Round 3
Posted on 31 Jan 2012 by Joshua Bartle.
In two meeting this season, the Flyers dropped two wild games to the Winnipeg Jets 9-8 and 6-4. If that is any indication, we may be in for another wild game tonight. This is the first game day in the league since the All-Star Break, and neither team has played since last Tuesday. Both teams are ripe for a sloppy game. Although, unlikely to be as sloppy as the 9-8 game from November, in which I...

Bobrovsky Getting Start In Winter Classic is the Right Call
Posted on 2 Jan 2012 by Joshua Bartle.
Something of a controversy has erupted this week over which Flyers goaltender should get the start in their biggest game of the season. However, being a Flyers fan, I know this to be as normal as breathing. It turns out that Peter Laviolette is going with the hot hand, and starting Sergei Bobrovsky in the Winter Classic. While $51M goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov will watch, just like the rest of us....

Week 2 of 24/7 – What To Look For From the Flyers
Posted on 21 Dec 2011 by Joshua Bartle.
Having seen the first episode of Flyers/Rangers 24/7, I wished I came up with thing to look for in the first week. So, hopefully, here is a guide as to what to look for on the Flyers end: - The Flyers played 4 games (excluding the on-going game vs. Dallas), I suspect the focus will be on the three games vs. Washington, Montreal, and Boston. The culmination coming in the 6-0 pasting vs. the Brui...

Life Without Pronger, a Case for Bourdon
Posted on 10 Dec 2011 by Joshua Bartle.
The Flyers to continue the outdo themselves when it comes to being up front with their injuries. Their long-term captain, who is signed until age 42 with little recourse, has gone from having a virus, to knee scoping, to concussion-like symptoms. That covers a lot of human anatomy, but the Flyers are going to be without Chris Pronger for the indefinite future. His troubles date back to getting ...

Black Friday With the Flyers
Posted on 25 Nov 2011 by Joshua Bartle.
One of my favorite Flyers traditions is their annual afternoon Black Friday game. This year played at 3pm, the Flyers will play the Montreal Canadiens in their second matchup of the season. The teams last played in Montreal was near the end of October. The Canadiens scapegoated assistant coach Perry Pearn before the game after the Habs won just 1 of their first 8 games. Whatever the reason, it ...

Flyers in Winnipeg for First Time Since 1996
Posted on 19 Nov 2011 by Joshua Bartle.
It's been 5720 days since the Flyers made a trip to Winnipeg – March 22, 1996 to be exact. Dan Quinn scored the Flyers only goal on former Flyers goaltender Dominic Roussel, and Craig Janney had 2 goals and 2 assists in a 4-1 win by those Jets. You have to go back nearly three years before that for the last time the Flyers actually won a game in Winnipeg. On April 6, 1993, the Flyers got...

Fly-Trolls Back In Action vs. Florida Panthers
Posted on 13 Nov 2011 by Joshua Bartle.
The Flyers have had an interesting week, despite playing just one game in the last 8 days. Last Saturday they smacked around the Jeff Carter-less Columbus Blue Jackets to the tune of 9-2. And the score was fair. Steve Mason was bad, the Blue Jackets hardly showed up, and their defense is awful. On Wednesday, the Flyers employed a trolling tactic to outwait Tampa's 0-5 trap. If Tampa doesn't w...

Flyers Play Columbus Blue Jackets Tonight, Just a Regular Ol’ Saturday Night
Posted on 5 Nov 2011 by Joshua Bartle.
And that's about all that can be said for tonight's matchup. In a healthy world, the Blue Jackets would bring Jeff Carter with them in an emotional game, but that's not the case. Jeff Carter's return to Philadelphia will be spent in the press box as he has a broken foot. It's worth noting that the Blue Jackets have failed to win in Philadelphia in their first four tries. On the Flyers end, Jaku...

Yo-Yo of Emotions in Flyers 9-8 Loss to Winnipeg
Posted on 29 Oct 2011 by Joshua Bartle.
When the Flyers lost to Tampa Bay 8-7 last year, I didn't think I'd see another game quite like it for a long time, especially live. The only reason I even went to the Flyers game was because I wanted to see the new Winnipeg Jets 2.0 live. Few games turn into the barnburner, and this one sort of took a different course than the game against Tampa last year. The Flyers were down 5-1, changed goa...

Please Send Sean Couturier Back to Juniors
Posted on 27 Oct 2011 by Joshua Bartle.
Attention Philadelphia Flyers, please please PLEASE send Sean Couturier back to juniors. Do not let him play in his 10th NHL game tonight, and leave yourselves the clock ticking on his contract, and free agency. I do not disagree with Paul Holmgren and Peter Laviolette that Sean Couturier was impressive in pre-season, playing mostly a defensive role, but looked very good none the less. However...

Let There Be Schenn
Posted on 20 Oct 2011 by Joshua Bartle.
The Flyers have called up top prospect/hockey wunderkind Brayden Schenn yesterday after practice. With this, the latest piece to the Flyers re-worked puzzle will make his Flyers debut tonight, after lighting up the AHL in his first 4 games, with 8 points. Schenn's assignment to the Phantoms was all about the cap, and it didn't kill Schenn to get his sea legs under him since he was hurt. While J...

Mike Richards Should Not Get Booed Tonight
Posted on 15 Oct 2011 by Joshua Bartle.
Just as a rule, and not to be an idiot, when I go to Flyers games, I don't boo. I get mad and aggravated and in the rare instance, I'll freak out on someone on the ice, but I don't boo. I don't boo when someone is face down on the ice, and I don't boo Sidney Crosby. He says that motivates his team, and I'm not into anything that helps another team, so, I don't boo Sidney Crosby. Not even when h...
