Today In NHL History - Hextall's Playoff Goal

On April 11th in 1989, netminder Ron Hextall of the Philadelphia Flyers scored an unassisted empty net goal against the Washington Capitals becoming the first goaltender to score in a NHL playoff game. It was the second time a goalie scored in a NHL game, the first being when Hextall fired the puck into the opposing net on December 8th in 1987. Though New York Islanders backstop Billy Smith was

Today In NHL History - Tie Domi Fights Fan

On March 29th in 2001, Tie Domi of the Toronto Maple Leafs pummeled Philadelphia Flyers fan Chris Falcone who, upon being sprayed with water by the bruiser, banged his way through the plexiglass into the penalty box. Falcone required stitches in his forehead and Domi received a $1000 fine from the league. Toronto beat Philadelphia that night 2-1. That's today in NHL history. * See also Today

Islanders Gameday: Canadiens visit without their summer prize

As the 2025-26 NHL regular season and the Eastern Conference playoff push winds down, there are teams that have seized the moment and strung wins together like the Penguins, Flyers and Senators, and there are teams that have spiraled out of previously promising positions to leave an empty feeling like the Red Wings and Islanders. […]

Sean Couturier and Travis Konecny are changing the narrative

After the Flyers’ 7-1 drubbing of the Winnipeg Jets, the Flyers remain in control of their playoff destiny heading into Sunday’s slate of games. If the Flyers find a way to earn 3 of their last 4 points, they are headed back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season.  As the Flyers have soared back into the playoff picture with a near .700 points percentage since the Olympic break, they’ve changed quite a few narratives about themselves in the process. Rick Tocchet, who ...

Gamethread 4/12: Phillies vs. Diamondbacks

After pulling out a narrow win on Saturday afternoon, the Phillies will go for the series win against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Andrew Painter will make the third start of his young career in the rubber match. The Diamondbacks will go with veteran righthander Zac Gallen. Gallen has had success against the Phillies over […]

How do you think this team is trending overall?

The first few weeks of the season are over and the Phillies continue flirting with .500. They haven’t played well overall, which might lead some to feel like the beginning of the end is nigh. We all know that core groups go through a prime and a downturn, but no matter all the data that […]

Sunday BP: Highlights of the Week

Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are wrapping up another week of baseball today, which means it’s time to discuss our favorite highlights of the week! This week, I’m giving the honors to Rafael Devers’ three-run home run in Wednesday’s 5-0 win over the Philadelphia Philies! Devers faced off against Phillies starter Aaron […]

This Week in Purple: Tonal Whiplash

When the Colorado Rockies left Coors Field on Wednesday night they were on top of the world. They had started the week having avoided a sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday and proceeded to rattle off three more wins to sweep the usually dominant Houston Astros. It was the Rockies’ first […]

Phillies news: Alec Bohm, Adolis Garcia, Zack Wheeler

Do the Phillies need to win this series at home to make you start feeling any better about them? Most people I know that follow the team are somewhat “blah” about the start the team has gotten off too, not caring that it’s just the beginning of the year still. They just want to see […]

No One Should Be Surprised

With the Nashville Predators and the Los Angeles Kings winning their respective games today, the Winnipeg Jets needed the same result in their game against the Philadelphia Flyers if they wanted any legitimate chance at making the playoffs. Mathematically, the Jets wouldn't be eliminated from the race, but the required wins and losses to get in are at their maximums after tonight's woeful, uninspired 7-1 hammering at the hands of the Flyers. For a team that needed to be at its best to make the...

Diamondbacks 3, Philly 4: OBI Strikes Again

Less than twenty-four hours after the Diamondbacks managed to overcome a disastrous first inning from Michael Soroka, they had the chance to do it again, thanks to the kind of performance we’ve sadly become accustomed to from Brandon Pfaadt in 2026. On paper, at least, this seemed like a winnable game, and maybe even one […]

Role reversal: Phillies 4, Diamondbacks 3

In last night’s game, the Phillies jumped out a big lead in the first inning, only to do nothing the rest of the way but give back the lead and the win. Today, the roles were switched. Arizona got out to a quick lead, then watched their starter give it all back. I like it […]

Flyers @ Jets: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

It’s the final road game of the regular season for the Flyers, and they’re set to close out the trip with a matchup against the Jets in Winnipeg tonight. This game has major swing potential for their playoff chances, and the Flyers will need to be on their game if they want to keep their hopes alive, and bounce back from a tough outing in Detroit on Thursday, along with it. This game is a big one, as the season is winding down. Puck drop:  7:00 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: NBCSP 📻: 97.5 T...
