More than ACL Recovery to Gostisbehere's Masterton Nomination
While it is unusual for a rookie to be nominated for the league's award for perseverance, dedication to the game and sportsmanship, there is more to Shayne Gostisbehere's nomination for the Bill Masterton Trophy than "just" the fact he overcame the ACL tear that short-circuited his first professional season in 2014-15.

Playoff Possibilities Abound for the Flyers
More and more, it seems that the fate of the 2015-16 Philadelphia Flyers will come right down to the final weekend of the season. While most of the focus is on whether the Flyers can beat out the Detroit Red Wings for the lower wildcard seed in the Eastern Conference, there is actually a host of different scenarios that could see the Flyers earn a wildcard spot -- possibly even the higher wildcard position -- or miss the playoffs. At least the Flyers control their own destiny if they win their own games. Continue reading

The Flyers deadline decision: buy, sell or stand pat?
Embed from Getty Images Slated for Leap Day 2016, the NHL trade deadline is just one month away as the game schedule hits its All-Star Break hiatus. While the Philadelphia Flyers are not hopelessly out of the race to earn a playoff spot -- five points behind the Pittsburgh Penguins (with one game in hand) for the lower wildcard seed in the Eastern Conference and six behind the New York Islanders for third place in the Metropolitan Division -- they still face a steep climb with little margin for error and a tiebreaker disadvantage (i.e., fewer combined regulation and overtime...

Stingy 5-on-5 play foundation of Flyers surge
Embed from Getty Images The Philadelphia Flyers are not in playoff position as they stand at the statistical midpoint of their 2015-16 season. However, the team is well within striking distance.

After all, the team still ranks 28th in the NHL in scoring at 2.27 goals per game (up one ranking spot and 0.46 goals per game from where they were after 16 games). Special teams remains a...

Flyers Encouraged by Recent Resilience
Over the last season-plus, one of the challenges faced by the Flyers' leadership group has been to establish a similar ability to battle through adversity and find ways to come away with a win -- or at least one point in the standings -- at the end of the night.
