Chris Pronger Running This Show
Posted on 5 Jun 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
With all the talk between Games 2 and 3 of this Stanley Cup Final about Chris Pronger picking up pucks, being a sore loser, and just…not being very nice, it certainly seems like he's got the Chicago Blackhawks in the palm of his hand. Being matched with Matt Carle against the line of Jonathan Toews, Dustin Byfuglien, and Patrick Kane has been the Flyers trump card in their two wins. Pron...

Sudden Life
Posted on 3 Jun 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
Come on. Deep down, you didn't really think the Flyers would let a third game in a row get away from them in the Stanley Cup Final did you? Game 3, like the two previous to it, was decided by one goal; however this time the Flyers came out on top while. True to form for this Flyers team, it was not without its skittish moments. The Flyers took Game 3, 4-3 after 5:59 of overtime. The Flyers cash...

Different Game, Different Story, Same Result
Posted on 1 Jun 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
Once again, the Flyers had a game in Chicago available for them to win. And they lost. They're saying most of the right things after losing 2-1 in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals last night. They did what they've been doing all spring – getting better as the game went on. But they still lost. They do only need to win one game in Chicago if they hold serve at home, but to beat Chicago 4 o...

What Just Happened?
Posted on 30 May 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
With a 6-5 loss in Game 1 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Final, the Flyers may be able to play with the Chicago Blackhawks, but this run-and-gun style isn't going to work. The Flyers found out the hard way that the Blackhawks are not like anyone they've played in the Eastern Conference thus far. After a first period blunder, Ryan Parent was benched after only playing 41 seconds. Parent didn't play a ...

2010 Stanley Cup Final Preview: Flyers vs. Blackhawks
Posted on 28 May 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
One way or another, a team will break a long drought. The Chicago Blackhawks have not won the Stanley Cup since 1961. The Philadelphia Flyers have not won the Stanley Cup since 1975. Moreover, the last time both these teams made it to the Final, they were swept. The Pittsburgh Penguins swept the Blackhawks in 1992, while the Detroit Red Wings swept the Flyers in 1997. This will also be the seco...

Four More for the Flyers
Posted on 26 May 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
The Philadelphia Flyers are going to the Stanley Cup Finals. It's been a 13-year wait, the longest in the history of the team. But the Flyers are finally making their return to the Stanley Cup Finals. A 4-2 dispatching of the Montreal Canadiens sealed the deal for the Flyers, who won a series in front of their home crowd for the first time since 2004. Like Simon Gagne before him, Jeff Carter ...

Sanding the Canadiens Away
Posted on 23 May 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
The Flyers sucked the offense out of the Montreal Canadiens, and the life out of their Bell Centre. The Flyers only won 3-0, with an empty netter, but it was not inductive of how much they really controlled Game 4. The Flyers only gave up 17 shots to the Canadiens, paced by their dominant second period. In the second period, the Flyers scored more goals (2) than the Habs had shots (1). Through ...

Mike Richards Speaks His Mind
Posted on 21 May 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
The Flyers needed to be knocked off their perch. The Montreal Canadiens were more ready to play Game 3 of the 2010 Eastern Conference Finals. They came out hard, they played hard the whole game, and thus were rewarded with a 5-1 result. The Flyers only goal came from Simon Gagne in the third period, making the game 4-1. The Flyers only have to split in Montreal. They didn't have to win last nig...

Never Early, Only Leight
Posted on 19 May 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
Michael Leighton has made 58 saves on 58 shots over the first two games of the 2010 Eastern Conference Finals vs. the Montreal Canadiens. Game 2 was a bit tougher for the Flyers than Game 1. They only won 3-0 instead of 6-0. The first period the Flyers said they would be notably better on, was actually notable worse. They were outshot 16-6, and at one point 23-10 in the second period, but Micha...

Habs Wasted by Flyers 6-0, Chase Halak
Posted on 17 May 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
Before playing the Boston Bruins, the Flyers had an 8-day layoff and then a 12:30 start time for Game 1. They lost the first three games. Two nights after finishing the double-miracle vs. the Bruins, the Flyers opened the Eastern Conference Finals at home vs. the Montreal Canadiens. The fear amongst Flyers fans was going to be a letdown after coming off of such an emotional high, but it was not...

Back To Work for Flyers Vs. Montreal
Posted on 16 May 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
Hopefully the Flyers are ready to move on from their series against the Boston Bruins. Listening to the radio the last couple days, it does not seem like the fans are ready to. It is a quick turnaround, but that's what happens when you play a 7-game series. The Flyers are still only halfway through the playoffs. The Flyers miraculously have home ice advantage for the Eastern Conference Finals v...

The Unthinkable…Thought; Comeback Within a Comeback
Posted on 15 May 2010 by Joshua Bartle.
I don't really know what you can say after witnessing this kind of history. Game 7 was a microcosm of the series between the Philadelphia Flyers and Boston Bruins. One month ago, this Flyers team was one of the more unlikeable teams to wear the orange and black. Whenever they got behind they quit. Whenever adversity was present, they folded. Now when I look back on the playoffs so far, and the ...
