1 week ago | flyingfishhockey.com | Wayne Fish |AJ Lee |Anthony SanFilippo |Bill Meltzer

PHILADELPHIA – The Columbus Blue Jackets had something to play for. The Flyers didn’t. That situation might have had a big impact on Tuesday night’s home season finale for the Flyers. Columbus kept its slim playoff hopes alive with a 3-0 victory at the Wells Fargo Center. Meanwhile, the Flyers were just playing out the string. They finished the season with a 20-20-1 mark on home ice, a place where they’re supposed to have some kind of an advantage. Goaltender Sam Ersson was the tough luck loser.

It’s difficult to resist the temptation to ask: “What if the Flyers had made the coaching change sooner?”Not many can’t be thinking that hypothetical after the Flyers put up another game effort at Ottawa on Sunday afternoon before falling in overtime, 4-3, at the Canadian Tire Centre. Ottawa’s Tim Stutzle picked up the winner at 1:40 of OT.

Foerster stars again in Flyers' come-from-behind shootout win – FlyingFishHockey

1 week ago | flyingfishhockey.com | Wayne Fish

PHILADELPHIA – Tyson Foerster didn’t surpass his first career hat trick from Wednesday night’s game in New York but he came darn close. In Saturday afternoon’s game against the New York Islanders, Foerster registered a pair of goals to help the Flyers beat the New York Islanders, 4-3 in a shootout, at the Wells Fargo Center. Bobby Brink scored the only goal of the shootout in the fifth round to decide the outcome.

PHILADELPHIA – Sam Ersson seems to save his best work for the biggest moments. That contention was on display in Saturday afternoon’s shootout between the Flyers and the New York Islanders. Regulation time ended in a 3-3 tie at the Wells Fargo Center and five minutes of overtime did not produce a decision either. Even the shootout’s normal three one-on-one skaters per side didn’t offer a verdict.
Flyers’ veterans leading young players by example

1 week ago | mcall.com | Wayne Fish

VOORHEES, N.J. – With just a few games left on the Flyers’ schedule, just how important is it for the veteran players to set a good example for the young guys? Very. That’s been evident since the Flyers were eliminated from playoff consideration and really have nothing left to play for except maybe some positions that might be considered up in the air for next season. A good example of this was Wednesday night’s game in New York. The match started off with a lot of structure and disciplined play.

Falls Township’s Rago takes on all challenges – high and low – FlyingFishHockey

It’s challenging enough just working out on a StairMaster for more than an hour. But can you imagine how difficult it would be if you threw on about 45 pounds of a typical firefighter’s outfit and attempted to simulate the 1,368 feet of climb to the top of the original World Trade Center towers? If you want some first-hand knowledge of just such a quest, check in with Falls Township’s Allie Rago, who completed the ascent on Sept. 11, 2024 to commemorate what took place 23 years before.
