On March 29th in 2001, Tie Domi of the Toronto Maple Leafs pummeled Philadelphia Flyers fan Chris Falcone who, upon being sprayed with water by the bruiser, banged his way through the plexiglass into the penalty box.
Falcone required stitches in his forehead and Domi received a $1000 fine from the league. Toronto beat Philadelphia that night 2-1.
That's today in NHL history.

As the 2025-26 NHL regular season and the Eastern Conference playoff push winds down, there are teams that have seized the moment and strung wins together like the Penguins, Flyers and Senators, and there are teams that have spiraled out of previously promising positions to leave an empty feeling like the Red Wings and Islanders.

After the Flyers’ 7-1 drubbing of the Winnipeg Jets, the Flyers remain in control of their playoff destiny heading into Sunday’s slate of games. If the Flyers find a way to earn 3 of their last 4 points, they are headed back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season.
As the Flyers have soared back into the playoff picture with a near .700 points percentage since the Olympic break, they’ve changed quite a few narratives about themselves in the process. Rick Tocchet, who ...
With the Nashville Predators and the Los Angeles Kings winning their respective games today, the Winnipeg Jets needed the same result in their game against the Philadelphia Flyers if they wanted any legitimate chance at making the playoffs. Mathematically, the Jets wouldn't be eliminated from the race, but the required wins and losses to get in are at their maximums after tonight's woeful, uninspired 7-1 hammering at the hands of the Flyers. For a team that needed to be at its best to make the...

Sometimes you need a little help crossing the finish line. The Edmonton Oilers are officially in the dance and have clinched a playoff spot on Saturday night.

It’s happening again. The Philadelphia Flyers are relying on Claude Giroux to work some magic and give them a whole lot of a better chance to get into the playoffs. The only thing is that this time, Giroux isn’t actually playing for the Flyers.
As the Flyers continue to push and push into the playoffs during these final few remaining games of the regular season, every single point matters — and that job only got harder after the disheartening 6-3 loss to Detroit earlier in the week. They ...
Well, the National Hockey League’s 2025-26 regular season is nearing its conclusion…..and it has certainly been an interesting one for the Winnipeg Jets. Coming off a President’s Trophy win, the True Northers had high hopes entering the campaign….but injury issues reared their ugly head during the off-season & training camp, starting the Jets off on the wrong foot.
Despite missing key players like Adam Lowry , Dylan Samberg , & Cole Perfetti , Winnipeg started off well by winning 9 of the...

Last Devils Game This week, the Devils had back to back games against the two NHL team from Pennsylvania, the Penguins and Flyers. In their usual 2025-2026 fashion, the Devils came up short in both games. On Thursday night, the Devils lost to the playoff bound Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2. It was the second game in […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are reportedly trying to bring over a top Russian prospect before his KHL contract has expired, again.
Yegor Zavragin has been one of the best young netminders overseas and is putting up historic numbers in the SKA St. Petersburg organization, whether it is at the junior level, the second division, or in the KHL. He has ultimately proven to be an exceptional prospect almost immediately after the Flyers nabbed the previously unknown player in the third round of the ...
Travis Konecny has suddenly become the old reliable veteran forward that has provided a scoring punch during the Flyers' playoff push.
Although head coach Rick Tocchet was not happy with the energy level or the special teams in Philadelphia’s 6-3 loss to Detroit Thursday night, he was especially irked by the team’s lack of discipline. And while he didn’t name names, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to determine some of the players he was talking about after the game.
“I’m a little disappointed, obviously we got to let it go, we’re still in a position of controlling our own destiny,” Tocchet said after the loss Thursday ...
The Pittsburgh Penguins completed a double whammy yesterday, not only did they clinch a playoff spot for the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs as a result of their victory, they also clinched second place in the Metropolitan Division courtesy of the Philadelphia Flyers loss. That makes for the best of days. What’s next for the Pens? […]

With a chance to keep their momentum rolling and deal a major blow to a conference rival in this tight playoff race, the Flyers went into Detroit and struggled mightily in a special teams heavy game. Despite some flashes, this game was largely all Red Wings, and with a deflating 6-3 loss, the Flyers’ cushion in the standings has been close to eliminated.

The Flyers have four games remaining. Nothing is secured just yet, and the magic number is just slightly higher than the tragic number going into tonight’s critical contest against Detroit. But whatever happens over the next periods, Philadelphia has turned some heads this season. And have shushed a lot of the critics, particularly since the Olympic break. So while no champagne corks should be popping just yet, we can at least look back at what some of the notable experts around the league pro...
This is starting to feel pretty familiar. Around this time in each of the past few seasons, we’ve used these posts to detail the intricate dance that needs to unfold for Detroit to keep its playoff hopes alive.
It doesn’t feel worthwhile this year. Not as much because I feel defeated, but because it just feels like the hockey gods have it in for this team. [Larry] Murphy’s Law, or something. Tuesday’s game against Columbus was a solid effort, but everyone saw it coming. Multiple lost 50/5...
Last Devils Game After Tom Fitzgerald deservedly lost his job on Monday, fans wondered if the team might come out with some new found pep in their step for their Tuesday night game against the Philadelphia Flyers.

The final four-game homestretch begins tonight for the chief combatants in the Eastern Conference lower-seeds playoff race. With 78 games down, the Islanders (89 pts.) host the Leafs, the Blue Jackets (90 pts.) visit the Sabres, the Senators (92 pts.) host the Panthers, and the Flyers (92 pts.) are in Detroit (89 pts.). Technically, the […]
*We’ve hit the final four games of the season, starting the countdown with another meeting with the Detroit Red Wings. Would be a great time for the Flyers to finally win four in a row, huh? And if the Flyers are going to do it, it’ll be with the help of Dan Vladar, who may be the Flyers’ best goaltender in a very, very long time. [ BSH ]
*The goaltending isn’t the only thing going well right now for the Flyers, though. It’s just about everything. Perfect time of year to start peaking! [ ...
One thing was made clear almost immediately after the Philadelphia Flyers acquired Trevor Zegras: The young forward wanted to rebuild his reputation across the hockey world.
In one of his first opportunities to speak with the media as a member of the Flyers, Zegras spoke at-length about not wanting to be known for his flashy plays or trickshots on the ice anymore, but just as “a hockey player”. Someone who contributes to winning games rather than getting noticed on social media. That was ...
