Ilya Bryzgalov Gives One Last Legendary Interview to Philadelphia Reporters Before His Departure (Video)
Back when the Flyers were Eastern Conference contenders and the subjects of HBO’s popular 24/7 documentary series, the long-and-winding sound bites we got from their wacky goalie, Ilya Bryzgalov, were positive. Sometimes he would wax philosophic about the nature of the cosmos. Other times he would joke about his fear of bears. But he almost always [...]

This Day In Sports History (April 11th) — Ron Hextall
It was on this day in 1989 that Ron Hextall became the first goalie in NHL history to record a goal during a playoff game. It was the second goal of his career. The goal came during an 8-5 playoff victory over the Washington Capitals. Despite finishing in first place in the Patrick Division, the [...]

Scott Hartnell Doppelganger Takes In the Leafs-Flyers Game in Toronto (Video)
Apparently coming to the arena dressed as your favorite hockey personality is the thing to do now among NHL fans. So far this season we’ve seen a guy who looks exactly like Senators coach Paul MacLean at a Senators game sitting—where else?—right behind Paul MacLean. Then we saw not one, but six Calgray Flames fans [...]

Flyers Fan Wears T-Shirt Expressing His True Feelings About Sidney Crosby (Photo)
You can have your Bruins-Canadiens, Rangers-Devils, or Blue Jackets-Predators*. For my money, the best rivalry in hockey right now is Penguins-Flyers. Last spring they gave us a bizarre, violent, goal fest of a playoff series, and so far this year, in three meetings, they’ve given us a 3-1 game, a 6-5 game, and a 5-4 [...]

Rangers’ Marc Staal Takes a Slap Shot to the Face (Video)
Every player in the NHL knows that the possibility of taking a puck to the face is something that simply comes with the territory of playing the game they love for a living. But that doesn’t make it any less painful or horrifying when it does happens. For proof, look no further than last night’s [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 2/20/2013 — Jakub Voracek
Last night’s game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins featured several of hockey’s biggest superstars, like Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Claude Giroux. However, on this occasion, no player’s star was shining brighter than that of Flyers forward, Jakub Voracek. During what was expected to be a high-scoring affair between these two in-state rivals, Voracek [...]

Max Talbot Can Do A One-Finger Push-Up (Video)
While some players have taken the trip overseas in order to stay sharp during the NHL lockout, the Philadelphia Flyers’ Max Talbot has been taking a much different approach towards keeping himself prepared for a possible return to the ice. Sure, Talbot’s workouts may not look like anything you’ve ever seen during a hockey player’s [...]

Claude Giroux Was Beating Smokeshows In Beer Pong With Casts On Both Wrists (Photos)
After recording a career-high 93 points during the regular season, and adding another 17 points in 10 playoff games, Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers was forced to undergo off-season surgery on both of his wrists (to repair torn cartilage in his right, and remove bone spurs from his left). And while the All-Star forward [...]

Ilya Bryzgalov’s Give-Away Leads To Series-Losing Goal (Video)
It would be great to have a few beers with Philadelphia Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. I mean, there aren’t many hockey players who are experts on Russian liqueurs, endangered species, and Chinese law. And I’d dare to guess that there even fewer hockey players who like to wax philosophic on mankind’s place in the cosmos [...]

Security Drags Female Devils Fan Down The Wells Fargo Center Stairs By Her Legs (Video)
The only thing worse than watching your team lose a playoff game in overtime is not getting to watch your team lose a playoff game in overtime because you were busy getting dragged out of the arena by your feet after getting a little too intoxicated. This drunk Devils fan experienced just that during Game [...]

Flyers Players Celebrate Playoff Victory At Nickleback Concert (Video)
People often tell me, “you learn something new every day.” Interestingly enough, today I feel as though I have learned at least three new things after watching this video of the Philadelphia Flyers players handing out beers and shooting t-shirt cannons on stage during a Nickleback concert at the Wells Fargo Center last night. First, [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 4/22/12 — Claude Giroux
Game Six between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins was a crucial one, as a win by the Penguins would draw them even with the Flyers and force a Game Seven after falling behind 3-0. Claude Giroux didn’t want to see that happen, and he made that quite obvious during his first shift of [...]

All 10 Penguins Goals From Last Night In One Minute (Video)
The Penguins knew they would need to score early and often if they were going to stay alive in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series against the Philadelphia Flyers. They would do just that, beating Ilya Bryzgalov and Sergei Bobrovsky five times each during their 10-3 blowout victory last night. With a total of 36 [...]

Hulk Hogan Revs The Flyers Fans Up For Game 3 (Video)
Prior to their crucial Game 3 Eastern Conference Quarterfinal battle against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday, the Philadelphia Flyers used the real Hulk Hogan (not the fake one, like you may have seen in Pittsburgh earlier this month) to get their fans amp’d up for the game. That plan seemed to work, as the Philly [...]

NBC Cameraman Was Searching For Babes And Boobs During Flyers-Penguins Game (Video)
While most of the people in attendance at the Wells Fargo Center on Sunday afternoon had a hard time peeling their eyes off the action on the ice – which included a total of 12 goals and 158 penalty minutes – one cameraman was having a hard time keeping his focus on the ice surface, [...]
