Mr. Playoffs is his handle. Danny Briere is his name, and he’s proving once again how dominant he is when the playoff bell rings. Briere’s OT game winner propelled the Flyers to a 4-3 win in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the New Jersey Devils at the Wells Fargo Center. Minutes...
Few picked the Philadelphia Flyers to handle the Pittsburgh Penguins as easy as they did in round one of the NHL playoffs. However, after freezing the Pens out of contention of Lord Stanley’s Cup, the Flyers now have a match-up with another Atlantic Division rival. The New Jersey Devils went through seven grueling games against...
All the Flyers had to do was play disciplined hockey and play 60 minutes with ‘jam’ and they should be able to close the series out against the Penguins in Game 6 inside the Wells Fargo Center. They did just that and eliminated the Pittsburgh Penguins from the NHL Playoffs with a 5-1 win...
OK, it might be about that time to flick the panic switch if you’re a Flyers fans. Game 5 wasn’t about penalties or endless goal scoring. It was about debilitating defense and goaltending. The Penguins and Flyers will now head back to Philadelphia after the Pittsburgh took Game 5 3-2 to make the series...
As if things couldn’t get any wilder than what was seen in Game 2. They did and it was bigger and badder. The Flyers pounded the soulless Penguins 8-4 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. Wednesday’s game 4 will be inside the Wells Fargo Center. Even through a combined 100 penalty minutes, and...
Sometimes youth can be a detriment to a team. For the Flyers, youth kills other teams. In Friday nights comeback 8-5 win over the Penguins, rookie Sean Couturier (19-years old) and Claude Giroux (24-years old) combined for 10 points (6G, 4A) on the night. Giroux set a Flyers franchise record with six points, including...
Since the Flyers won the overtime thriller against the Penguins last weekend they’ve lost a step. They’ve lacked urgency and like what head coach Peter Laviolette calls, ‘jam.’ Thursday nights showdown was pretty much the same up until the shootout that ended with a 2-1 Flyers win over the Washington Capitals inside the Wells Fargo Center. Ilya Bryzgalov was phenomenal again...
Scott Hartnell’s game-winning OT goal with .9 seconds remaining snapped the the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 11-game win streak. After an abysmal second period that saw Peter Laviolette’s club register only two shots, the Flyers battled back to topple the Pens inside the Wells Fargo Center Sunday afternoon. Hartnell scored twice including the OT winner giving...
Ilya Bryzgalov broke the Flyers franchise record with a 227:40 shutout streak set by John Vanbiesbrouk in 1999. Bryzgalov wasn’t finished with accomplishments just yet. When Michael Grabner scored late in the third period for the Islanders, his streak ended at 249:43, beating his previous personal best of 249:15 when he was in Anaheim in 2006....
March ‘Bryzness’ continues for Ilya Bryzgalov and the Philadelphia Flyers. Bryzgalov stopped all 29 shots he faced and three in the shootout to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 1-0 inside the Air Canada Centre Saturday night. “He’s playing the best hockey this year right now, and we’re trying to help him,” Claude Giroux said....
