Bottom Six Minutes: Habs bring too little, too late against Philly

Starting the day with a chance to potentially move into first place in the Atlantic division, the Montreal Canadiens were in action against the Philadelphia Flyers at the Bell Centre on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, they may have been a little late to arrive to that game mentally, as they fell behind 3-1 after two periods before coming on strong in the third. Those strong 20 minutes weren’t enough, as an empty netter would seal a 4-1 victory for the Flyers. Dan Vladar stepped up for the F...

Wednesday Morning Fly By: 60 minutes, what a concept

*Not only did the Flyers get back into the win column last night, but they did it by completing a game in the minimum required number of minutes! It was great! RECAP ! *Big news yesterday ahead of the game was the confirmation of the triumphant return of Rasmus Ristolainen! [ Inquirer ] *For the first time in nearly a year, the Flyers defense is fully healthy. What a time!

Canadiens vs. Flyers Top Six Minutes: Montreal gives away a win to Philadelphia

I’m not sure about these defence pairings Martin St-Louis has come up with, but I suppose we’ll have to see how they do. First period Jayden Struble gets caught up ice on the first shift, and Fowler has already had to face one transition rush. Cole Caufield is given about one-third of the offensive zone all to himself, but Dan Vladar saves the situation. The checking is tight right now. It’s like watching five fencing matches taking place at once. Adam Engström is ...

Flyers @ Canadiens: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

The Flyers are back at it on the road again tonight in Montreal, as they look to snap their three-game losing streak and begin putting together a bit more in the way of positive momentum. And with some changes made to the lineup and some shuffling done with the forward lines, the Flyers are looking for anything that can bring them that extra bit of jump to draw them closer to that aim.

Carl Grundstrom’s contributions should force Flyers to re-think fourth line

Since the Flyers opened the season, it feels like they’ve managed to shuffle their forward line combinations once a week. That’s not exactly shocking, given that Rick Tocchet has been trying to get a look at as many new units as possible to see what works in his first year as head coach, but it has been a frequent occurrence nonetheless.  This morning, ahead of their matchup against the Canadiens, the lines got tossed in the blender once again following back-to-back shootout losses to the...

Flyers juggle lines, Rasmus Ristolainen set to return versus Canadiens

The Flyers held their morning practice in Montreal prior to facing the Canadiens tonight, and by the looks of it, they could be scrambling a few lines, including one that might make a few people happy.

The 12 Days of Christmas: Flyers Edition

It’s that time of year again, and with that we here at BSH have decided to take the 12 Days of Christmas and change it around a bit. Here then, is what we hope a dozen of the Flyers (or their coaching staff) receive this holiday season before they head out West and begin the gauntlet to and after the Winter Olympics. Matvei Michkov – A card that says “Get Out Of Jail Free” We know he hasn’t been benched. We know he hasn’t had it out in public with head coach Rick Tocchet. And we know...

Flyers’ 3 Stars of the Week: Trevor Zegras continues to shine

The Philadelphia Flyers walked through the quicksands of increasingly tough opponents last week and proceeded to do everything that they are known to do this season. Nothing major was figured out — there were no breakthroughs or discoveries that have us all giddy at the thought of going through more of this campaign. It was the Flyers trying to play Rick Tocchet-style low-event hockey against some of the NHL’s best teams and getting some loser points out of their efforts. A nice and tidy ...

NHL Rumors: Analyst Believes Brady Tkachuk Has His Eyes On Metro Team

Brady Tkachuk is not on the trade market, but that clearly hasn’t stopped speculation from bubbling up around the Ottawa Senators captain.  During a recent discussion, analyst Colby Cohen, speaking on Snow the Goalie: A Flyers Podcast , made a surprising statement, suggesting that if Tkachuk ever does leave Ottawa, the Philadelphia Flyers would be a team he would “seriously look at.”  Why the Flyers keep coming up with Brady Tkachuk According to Cohen, the connection goes beyond ...

What Ty Murchison sticking around means for rest of Flyers’ depth defensemen

When the Flyers announced that Cam York would miss another short stretch of time with an upper-body injury on December 4, it seemed like the most likely outcome was that the team would just reinsert Yegor Zamula to fill the momentary void, and call up someone from Lehigh Valley with past NHL experience to sit as the seventh defender,  But on December 6, the Flyers made the somewhat surprising decision to call up the 22-year old Ty Murchison instead. Murchison had played 21 games with the ...

One Team Dropped Out of Hughes Bidding, Refused To Pay The Price

The Minnesota Wild won the Quinn Hughes sweepstakes, but there were plenty of other suitors who were willing to give up a robust package to land the former Norris Trophy winner, the consensus second-best blueliner in the NHL. And then there are the Philadelphia Flyers . They did not stay in the bidding to the end. They dropped out, refusing to pay the price of either of their top two young players/prospects, as David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period tells us. The Flyers (are) a team that poked (a...

Canes Host Flyers in Second Half of Home-and-Home

If a divisional game is a four-point matchup, then back-to-back, home-and-home divisional games are worth eight points in the standings. This is certainly true when looking at the Metropolitan Division right now. All eight Metro teams were in action last night, and all but Columbus secured at least one point in the standings. The shootout […]

Flyers vs. Hurricanes: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

It’s been a busy week for the Flyers, and it’s only getting busier for them as we move into the weekend. On deck, the Flyers have a home-and-home series against the Hurricanes, and they’re kicking that off with the first matchup in South Philly this evening.
