The Flyers and Blackhawks aren’t too familiar with eachother. They only played once this season in Philadelphia and the Blackhawks weren’t using their current goaltender. The Flyers won that game back on March 13th but it was anything but a blowout. Pronger’s goal with 2.1 seconds left in the third gave them the win.
One player the Flyers will need to familiarize themselves with before Saturday’s game is Dustin Byfuglien. Read the rest of this entry »

Michael Leighton… Flyers New Answer?

Flyers Built to Win Now…The Long Breakdown
It has been awhile since a post has been done on the Flyers, so here is a very long one about what the Flyers have going for them this season! Be prepared to read haha!
The Philadelphia Flyers season opens up on October 2nd, which is just over a week away. Last season ended with a disappointing series that was lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins in first round of the playoffs. The defeat definitely left a bad taste in the players mouth for a couple of reasons. First, it came against cross state rivals. Second because they were clearly outplayed. Finally, because no team wants to work all season, get into the playoffs, and lose in the first round. However that is all behind them now. The preseason is winding down, and there is nothing but a positive vibe buzzing around the Flyers organization.
The team has it all. They have the seasoned veterans that have been on the team and understand the system. They have the young fresh players that are looking forward to contribute in any way possible. Then there are the new additions to the team that are excited to come into an organization that wants to win, and wants to win now. Read the rest of this entry »
