“When you’re winning here, there’s no better place to play. But when you’re not playing well here it’s definitely tough.”
Carey Price knows all too well how difficult it is to be the starting goaltender in a big NHL market. Drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in 2005, he admitted in a recent interview on NHL.com that he’s [...]

If the Philadelphia Flyers’ 5-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday was “rock bottom,” their 2-1 shootout victory on home ice was a positive step in the right direction.

The Philadelphia Flyers have officially reached the halfway mark of the 2013 NHL season.
The team was looking for its third win in a row tonight against the New York Rangers, which would have been the first time all season that they had accomplished this feat.

I had thought that the days of nail-biting, back-and-forth, high-scoring barnburners between the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins would be over after the 2012 Stanley Cup quarterfinal series wrapped up.

The silver lining of the Philadelphia Flyers’ season to date is that Ilya Bryzgalov has performed like a confident starting goaltender should. He ranks 8th in the NHL in goals-against-average among goaltenders with at least four games played.
It’s a shame that the offense can’t support his efforts.

Philadelphia Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette mixed up his forward line and defensive pair combinations ahead of tonight’s game against the New Jersey Devils in an attempt to develop chemistry.
The experiments blew up in his face, as the Devils shut out the Flyers 3-0, who have now advanced their season record to 0-3-0.
