Weekend Closes with Dallas Dominance

Be prepared for a short read, as there really isn’t a whole lot to say here. After a 5-game point streak (3-0-2), the Flyers fell in a drastic 5-1 loss against Dallas at the American Airlines Center. I wish I had something positive to say, or even something blatantly negative, but there just really isn’tContinue reading “Weekend Closes with Dallas Dominance”

Nailbiter Win in St. Louis

The first game of Philadelphia’s back-to-back weekend ended in a shootout win against St. Louis. Although the 6-5 win was exciting to watch, what could have been a blowout win for Philadelphia ended up as a model for poor goaltending and defense.  Philadelphia should have had this game in a landslide. Yet as I mentionedContinue reading “Nailbiter Win in St. Louis”

Flyers Fall Short in OT Against Oilers

The Flyers closed a brief homestand on Wednesday night against the Oilers for Military Appreciation Night. However, after an offensively difficult game, the Oilers took the 2 points in overtime.  At the end of a dominant first period for Edmonton, McDavid earned his 18th assist of the season on Evan Bouchard’s goal. The goal slippedContinue reading “Flyers Fall Short in OT Against Oilers”

Successful Road Trip Concludes in Nashville

The Flyers finished their short yet successful road trip with a 3-1 victory against the Nashville Predators. After a less than ideal first period, they came together for a solid game both ways. Their powerplay was more stagnant than usual, yet they generated chances regardless. Goalie Dan Vladar had a successful game after a challengingContinue reading “Successful Road Trip Concludes in Nashville”

Flyers Bounce Back in Montreal

After a worrisome weekend, the Flyers bounced back for a 5-4 shootout win against the Canadiens on the road on Tuesday. They came out with a bang, and offensively dominated for the whole game. Our two consecutive powerplay goals in the first period allowed the Flyers to slip into the top 50% of the league’sContinue reading “Flyers Bounce Back in Montreal”

Injuries, Broken Streaks, and New Lineups for Halloweekend

It was a spooky weekend in Philadelphia, and I’m not talking about Thursday’s Halloween game. A weekend of injuries, lackluster goaltending, and broken streaks left the Flyers to face a Canadian sweep. Back-to-back home games ended with no points for the Flyers, as they fell 5-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday and 2-1Continue reading “Injuries, Broken Streaks, and New Lineups for Halloweekend”

Zegras Shines Against Nashville

The Flyers defeated the Predators 4-1 last night as former Anaheim teammates Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale had successful games. Michkov also had a productive evening, earning assist points on Drysdale’s first goal of the year and Zegras’ two last night. Although these shots worked out, our offense was not overall on their A-game lastContinue reading “Zegras Shines Against Nashville”

Flyers Earn Win After High-Stakes Shootout

The first of four games in this year’s battle of the turnpike series earned the Flyers a 3-2 shootout win. The history between these two teams was evident last night, with lots of chances on both sides and a fight after OT taking two of the league’s top shootout guys out of the cards. TheContinue reading “Flyers Earn Win After High-Stakes Shootout”

Flyers Bounce Back for a Shootout Win

The Flyers began their second homestand of the year with a 4-3 shootout win over the New York Islanders. Zegras had an explosive game for the Flyers, securing three points and his first goal in Philadelphia. Ersson played for his third game of the season and earned his first win of the year. After theContinue reading “Flyers Bounce Back for a Shootout Win”

Flyers Fall to Former Captain and Senators

The Flyers faced former captain Claude Giroux and his Ottawa Senators last night on the road for a 2-1 loss. Their play last night was a completely different tune from Monday night’s appearance against Seattle, and was far more comparable to last week’s 5-2 loss against Winnipeg. Lots of the progress from Monday seemed toContinue reading “Flyers Fall to Former Captain and Senators”
