The Philadelphia Flyers had an amazing run through the playoffs and at times got some great goaltending from Brian Boucher and Michael Leighton. But, the bottom line is that they are backups who should not be starting on a team that has a Stanley Cup on the brain. So, one would think that if the [...]

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger was a huge reason the Flyers made a deep run into the Stanley Cup Finals. He shut opposing teams down like it was his job (it is his job). But at 35-years old, Pronger probably can’t handle 30 minutes of ice time for too much longer over the course of [...]
This is great. The main reason that the Philadelphia Flyers couldn’t conquer the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Finals was goal tending. Sure, the Blackhawks didn’t have great goal tending either (we aren’t huge Antti Niemi fans), but they had enough firepower elsewhere to take the Fly Guys down in six games. Well, maybe [...]

The Philadelphia Flyers have continued their busy offseason today. Over the salary cap and in need of a salary dump, they have traded Simon Gagne to the Tampa Bay Lightning for Matt Walker and a fourth-round pick. This gives the Lightning quite an attack with Gagne, Vincent Lacavalier, Martin St. Louis and Steven Stamkos. And [...]
Chris Pronger is apparently not very popular around the NHL. We never knew Pronger to be a dirty player, but for whatever reason, opposing players hate him. Especially the Chicago Blackhawks. Adam Burish gave a post-game interview right after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup on the Flyers’ home ice and he was asked about [...]

The Chicago Blackhawks ended a 49-year Stanley Cup drought in Philadelphia Wednesday night as they downed the Flyers 4-3 in overtime. Congratulations to the Blackhawks, they earned it. The Blackhawks eased their way into the Stanley Cup Finals for the most part. They stomped on team after team until they finally did the “hot knife [...]

The Philadelphia Flyers got stomped like a narc at a biker rally Sunday night against the Chicago Blackhawks and face a 3-2 deficit in the Stanley Cup Finals. The series comes back to Philadelphia Wednesday night as the Flyers look to take it to Game 7. But the bigger question is, what in the hell [...]

The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that Michael Leighton will start Game 6 in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Chicago Blackhawks. “Leighton will start Game 6,” the Flyers tweeted. Leighton has been the starter ever since Brian Boucher went down during the Boston Bruins series. His numbers are filthy, but he is very scary to [...]

Philadelphia Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette had a short answer this morning when he was asked about his starting goaltender for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Chicago Blackhawks. “I don’t comment on lineups,” Laviolette said. Laviolette said that he’s already made up his mind who his starter will be for Game [...]

If you read the Chicago newspapers without knowing what’s happening in the Stanley Cup Finals between the Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers, you’d think that the Blackhawks were down three games to none and would be forced to play the rest of the series without a goalie. Words like “desperation” and “urgency” aren’t tough to [...]

The Chicago Blackhawks have some super studs up on their front line, but so far in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Philadelphia Flyers, the group has been relatively quiet. The top line of Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews and Dustin Byfuglien had been a powerhouse entering the Finals, but the big, physical Flyers defense has [...]

Many Philadelphia Flyers fans are excited about the play of Michael Leighton in net. Yes, he’s been pretty good, especially when you consider what would be expected out of a guy who was out of the NHL to start the year. But has he really been that good? Or could he be benefitting from a [...]
Ok, this is great. Thanks to Fooks for tipping us off on this one. We admit that we are in the tank for the Philadelphia Flyers, but this is hysterical. In Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals Monday night, the Philadelphia Flyers lost 2-1 to the Chicago Blackhawks to go down two games to [...]

It’s no secret that Philadelphia fans can be a bit different. Depending on who you speak to, it will vary as to what it is that makes them so different. But what you can’t argue is how much they care about their teams. And with the Flyers in the Stanley Cup, that passion manifests itself [...]

We post this knowing full well that it’s a pretty awful song. This dude sHERBS (it’s either him or his group, but we don’t really care) made a rap song about the Philadelphia Flyers. We would suspect that you’d have to be a pretty hardcore fan (and deaf) to really appreciate this song that we [...]
