The Flyers And Capitals Did All Sorts Of Fighting In Their Series Opener
The Washington Capitals opened their Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 2-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers tonight.

Hey, Maybe It's Time To Suspend Radko Gudas Again
Radko Gudas hits people, sometimes (often?) crossing the line from physical to dirty. It’s how he plays, and it’s how he’s going to play until told not to—or until some sort of discipline gets to him. I think it’s about time for the Flyers defenseman to have a few unpaid days off, after his latest d...

Along with coach’s challenges, the most noticeable new wrinkle in the NHL this season is the debut of 3-on-3 overtimes meant to decrease the number of games that go to a shootout.

Eric Lindros Sues NHL Ref Who Told Story About Him Being A Huge Dickhead

Hockey Player Attempts Dramatic Exit, Nearly Decapitates Himself

Michael Del Zotto Gets Cut By Skate, Looks Like Frankenstein
Hockey games feature—among other things—sharp blades and exposed necks, and every so often they collide. Last night Flyers defenseman Michael Del Zotto fell over while trying to dig the puck out of the corner. Avalanche forward Daniel Brière tried to step over him, but managed to clip Del Zotto's ...
Ron Hextall To Flyers: "That's Fucking Embarrassing"
Ron Hextall was legendarily fiery in his goaltending days, and was brought in to be Flyers GM in the hopes of turning around the fortunes of a franchise that could probably use a kick in the pants—or, this being Hextall, a stick in the grill. After a listless loss to the Rangers, the Flyers players ...
