It’s not surprising to hear that the Philadelphia Flyers take a lot of penalties. What is pleasantly surprising though is that the Flyers penalty kill is quickly becoming one of the league’s best.

The Coyotes held on after scoring two quick goals in the first period and seeing two quick ones scored on them to edge the Leafs in a shootout on Tuesday, 3-2.

They have now entered into Bryzpalooza.

With all the focus surrounding the former Coyotes' goaltender that famously left the desert in favour of signing a deal that would bring him 10 million dollars this season, their current man between the pipes continues to pick up wins. Mike Smith improved his record to 7-0-2 in his last nine starts and now faces the highest-scoring team in the league.

The Flyers are two points behind the Penguins for the lead in that division as well as the entire Ea...

With the Flyers playing only one game between last Saturday’s 9-2 route of Columbus and tomorrow’s matinee in Sunnydale, FL against the Panthers, it was a week filled with news rather than actual hockey.

Last night’s 9-8 loss to Winnipeg was a fiasco. There really aren’t many other ways to put it. It was flat out bizarre. Clearly it was not something we will witness again anytime soon. Despite the craziness that occurred, there are some positives to take out of the game.

The Montreal Canadiens look to end their six game losing streak tonight as they host the Philadelphia Flyers at the Bell Center.

The Flyers have chemistry. What's chemistry you ask? Well, its when 3 players on a line lear...
