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 [...]
We just had to keep it going with the Phildadelphia Flyers stuff. You may have noticed the Mike Richards video being posted here. Ron Hextall was a great Flyer at one point. There was a time when he was absolutely unconscious. Is Michael Leighton the next Ron Hextall? Probably not, but he only needs to [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers are into the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1997, when they were lambasted by the Detroit Red Wings. Mike Richards is part of the reason they have made it this far and are squaring off with the Chicago Blackhawks. We admit, we love these “History Will Be Made” NHL [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers took down the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night for the fourth time in the series. By NHL rules, that means that they won the series and will advance to the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1997, when they had their lunch eaten by the Detroit Red Wings. The Chicago Blackhawks [...]
Montreal Canadiens rookie Tom Pyatt will not play in Monday night’s showdown with the Philadelphia Flyers. Pyatt suffered an upper body injury in a Game 4 loss and was a game-time decision for tonight. But, it looks like that game-time decision has been made. Pyatt will not be in the lineup tonight and will be [...]
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Brian Boucher left the ice 13 days ago with two busted up knees. It was in the middle of Game 5 as the Flyers were desperately trying to come back from a 3-0 series deficit to the Boston Bruins. Boucher was twisted under a pileup that saw him get a Grade 2 [...]
A team source tells Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer that the Philadelphia Flyers are interested in re-signing 29-year goalie Michael Leighton. Leighton has been phenomenal since taking over for Brian Boucher in the playoffs. He recorded shutouts in three of the last four games against the Montreal Canadiens. The source said that Leighton, who [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers limped into the NHL playoffs this year. Down the stretch of the regular season their goaltending was horrific and it was a perfect fit for how most of the team was playing. They needed an OT shootout in the final game of the season to beat the New York Rangers and make [...]
OTR loves sports and we love commercials, so there’s nothing better to us than a sports commercial. We also love the Philadelphia Flyers…
The Philadelphia Flyers lambasted the ever-loving crap out of the Montreal Canadiens Sunday night 6-0. But the news gets a little better than that when we take a look at which injured Flyers may be coming back to help. Ian Laperriere suffered a brain contusion and concussion a few weeks ago when he stopped a [...]
We’re keeping it going with the whole Philadelphia Flyers thing. After an historic comeback on Friday night against the Boston Bruins, we’re doing a little mini celebration on OTR, but instead of popping champagne corks, we’re posting legendary fist fights. Once again making an appearance here is Dave Schultz. Schultz is shown here sticking it [...]
As you may or may not have heard, the Philadelphia Flyers took a huge dump on all of the hopes and dreams of Boston fans on Friday night. The Flyers were down 3-0 in the series against the Boston Bruins and were one game from elimination. Since only about three teams in all of North [...]
We guess this is pretty funny. Actually, it is. Not sure exactly how we came across this, but this is supposed to be the back of every ticket that is purchased at a Philadelphia sporting event. It could be the Philadelphia Eagles, Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia Phillies or Philadelphia Flyers. It doesn’t really matter. Of course [...]
Philadelphia Flyers forward Ian Laperriere is likely to miss the rest of the NHL season, according to Flyers GM Paul Holmgren. Laperriere suffered a concussion and a contusion of the brain when he was nailed with a slap shot just above his right eye in Game 5 against the New Jersey Devils. Photo Caption: This [...]
All the fun and excitement of last night’s win over the New Jersey Devils has been quelled a bit when the Philadelphia Flyers got some injury news today. Forwards Jeff Carter and Simon Gagne will miss the rest of the series and plenty more. Both will require foot surgery and will miss significant time. Gagne [...]
Claude Giroux scored the deciding goal in the shootout shortly after Matt “Hot” Carle tied the game 6:54 into the third with a power-play goal. What’s that mean? Nothing if you are the New York Rangers, who just got bounced from the NHL playoffs. For the Philadelphia Flyers, however, it means they are going to [...]
As if Ryan Miller didn’t kick enough ass in the Olympics for the United States Olympic hockey team, he kept it going yet again on Friday night as the Buffalo Sabres outlasted the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in overtime. For the Flyers, goalie Michael Leighton was excellent, stopping 32 of 35 shots. But when you are [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers and Nashville Predators have supposedly been working on a deal that would send defenseman Dan Hamhuis to the Flyers in exchange for either Braydon Coburn or Ryan Parent. Well, sources now tell the Philadelphia Daily News’ Frank Seravalli that the Predators are upping their asking price. Supposedly, they now want Coburn and [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers have put goaltender Ray Emery on the long-term injured list and placed winger Riley Cote on waivers. The moves will clear up about $2 million in cap space so that they can hopefully make a move. The Flyers now have $2.8 million space with which to swing a deal. Sources tell the [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers are going to start Michael Leighton in goal tonight despite the fact that they’ve lost his last two starts. Still, he was pretty good in those starts and it’s not like the Flyers have Pelle Linbergh in his prime sitting on the bench. Tonight, look for the Flyers to take on the [...]
Before the season started, a couple hockey guru’s picked the Philadelphia Flyers to win the Stanley Cup, including Sam McCaig, a writer for The Hockey News. The Flyers got off to a fast start winning 12 of their first 18 games and everything was looking fine and dandy. Then they lost eight-of-nine. Ray Emery, their [...]
According to Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News, Michael Leighton will start the Winter Classic on New Year’s Day for the Philadelphia Flyers. “Looks like Leighton will start the Winter Classic for the Flyers at Fenway. Pretty exciting time for him after the events of this month,” Alexander tweets. Leighton has been out of his [...]
Philadelphia Flyers right winger Ian Laperriere will never have to say that he’s tough again. Nope. Not when you take a slap shot to the face like he did a few nights ago. He had seven teeth knocked out, broke a bone above his lip and close to 100 stitches sewn in……and he returned to [...]
