And what the hell was John Tortorella thinking with his starting lineup in overtime against...

The Philadelphia Flyers have not won a game against a Metropolitan division opponent since December 19th, head to NYC to faceoff with the Rangers, a team Philly hasn’t beaten in almost 2 years.

Anthony Stolarz put on a clinic against his former team on Sunday night, stymying the Flyers’ attack and leading the Florida Panthers to their first victory over Philly this season. The Flyers had plenty of opportunities but when they didn’t miss the net, Stolarz had the answer. The Flyers also didn’t do themselves any favors, squandering a plethora of power plays. Felix Sandstrom, in net for the Flyers for the back-to-back, wasn’t much help, allowing a horrible first goal and missing a glove...

In a big departure from what we’ve seen between the Flyers and Bruins in recent matchups, Philly & Boston played low-event hockey for 40 minutes with only 25 total shots on goal, and one tally on the board- a big power play goal by Travis Konecny late in the 2nd to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead heading into the final frame of regulation. The Flyers held on to beat the Bruins for the first time in 8 attempts, and only the 4th time in the last 4 seasons. Travis Konecny and Tyson Foerster added...

A month after being named captain of the Philadelphia Flyers, Sean Couturier was relegated to the press box by head coach John Tortorella, a healthy scratch for the first time in his career. The Flyers responded with one of their best games in weeks, taking a 1-0 lead 19 seconds after puck drop and never looking back.

After a nice bounce back start against the Sharks, Sam Ersson was looking to steady himself against the star-studded Leafs but instead looked much more like the goalie who was pulled against Tampa, and his results were similar.

With head coach John Tortorella serving the first of his 2-game suspension from the Tampa Bay Debacle, the Flyers faceoff at home against the San Jose Sharks, the second worst team in the NHL. The game was penalty ridden (8 power plays, 20 PIM through first 40 minutes), and after 2 periods, tied at 2. Owen Tippett ended a slump to net the go-ahead goal in the 3rd, but the margin for error was still slim against a team poised to play spoiler on Philly’s Stanley Cup Playoff hopes. The Flyers...

Philadelphia outshot Ottawa 19-4 in the first period, but came up short on 3 power play opportunities leaving the door opened for the Senators to get back in it, which they did with an early Vladimir Tarasenko goal in the second. The Flyers finally closed out the...

Despite jumping out to a 2-0 first period lead and looking poised to cruise to a victory, the next 40 minutes were among some of the worst the Flyers have played all year. Defensive breakdowns, penalties, turnovers, a complete inability to send or receive a pass all killed Philly on Friday night in the nation’s capital. Alex Ovechkin opened up the Caps’ scoring to cut the Flyers lead to 2-1, and it was all Washington from there, as they scored 5 straight to go up 5-2 on Philadelphia. Along...
