When Claude Giroux went out with a concussion a few weeks ago, some feared that the injury could develop into something that will hamper the Flyers forward for the remainder of the season. While the long-term impact of the injury still remains to be seen, it didn’t seem like the injury had affected him even [...]

Flyers’ Goalie Ilya Bryzgalov Teaches Us About The Universe And Russian Booze (Video)
With a lifetime save percentage of .915, there is no denying the fact that Flyers’ goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov knows a thing or two about stopping pucks, but that isn’t all he knows. Dubbed “The Renaissance Man” by those around him, it appears as though there isn’t much that Bryzgalov doesn’t know. Whether you are interested [...]

Flyers Mock The Lightning’s Defensive Trap (Video)
No one is a fan of the 1-3-1 neutral zone trap in hockey. Not the fans. Not the media. And certainly not the Philadelphia Flyers. That was evident during last night’s game between the Flyers and the Tampa Bay Lightning, as it didn’t take long for the trap to take over. Less than one minute [...]

Sabres’ Patrick Kaleta Headbutts Flyers’ Jakub Voracek (Video)
Hockey players wear helmets for protection, but Patrick Kaleta of the Buffalo Sabres has a knack for using his as a weapon.

Ilya Bryzgalov: “I’m Terrible And I Have Zero Confidence” (Video)
While every member of the media appreciates a player who gives their honest opinion during an interview, I am quite certain that the last thing any goaltender’s teammates would want to hear is their $5.67-million netminder admit that he is terrible and has zero confidence.

Stat Line Of The Night — 10/12/11 — Claude Grioux
After recording 76 points in 82 games last season, Claude Giroux entered the 2011-12 NHL season with some awfully high expectations.

Listen To Sean Avery Threaten Claude Giroux’s Life (Video)
Sean Avery wasn’t happy about something during last night’s game between the New York Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers.
