With the naming of a well-deserving class of 2010 Hall-of-Fame inductees in Dino Ciccarelli, Angela James, and Cammi Granato, talk of certain Philadelphia Flyers chances to make the Hall once again arose. Here is a look at one player that was mentioned more than any other, and one that I believe should be enshrined already. Eric Lindros Leading up to the announcement of the HHoF

As the two top-ranked defensive teams and goaltenders in the postseason entered the Stanley Cup Finals, it appeared that this would be a titanic defensive struggle.  Surely, this series looked like one that would be extremely physical, and whichever team could scratch and claw for that extra goal to pull the game out would end up as the ultimate victor.

The  Philadelphia Flyers (41-35-6, 88 points, seventh place) and Montreal Canadiens (39-33-10, 88 points, eighth place), the first time EVER that the #7 and #8 conference seeds will play in a Conference Finals. The Playoff History: Philadelphia and Montreal have met of five previous occasions in the postseason, with the Canadiens holding a 3-2 edge in series.  The two teams first faced each other in 1973 playoffs (a 4-1 Canadiens

When history is recounted and people recall the events that led to perhaps the greatest comeback in a seven-game series in all of professional sports, the name Simon Gagne should be prominent in any recollection. Having suffered a fracture of his right foot on April 20th in game four of the first round against the New Jersey Devils when he blocked an Ilya Kovalchuk slap shot, Gagne was slated to miss

The  Philadelphia Flyers (41-35-6, 88 points, seventh place) and Boston Bruins (39-30-13, 91 points, sixth place), are set to renew their playoff rivalry for the first time since 1978. The Playoff History: Philadelphia won the first meeting between the teams in the 1974 Stanley Cup Finals in six games.  The two would meet in three consecutive postseasons from 1976-1978, with the “Broad Street Bullies” winning in ’76 in five games, and the “Big Bad Bruins” winning in ’77 in a four game sweep, and again in ’78 in five games.

Round two, the enemy has been revealed. After tonight’s well deserved win by the Montreal Canadiens it is time for the Pens to prepare their counter-attack on this Northeast team. After being down 3-1 the Habs tied up the series and pushed both a game 6 and a game 7. Tonight’s matchup was just as exciting as any game 7 that you would expect; exciting, scary and a hard working

As they watch tonight’s game seven between the Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals, the Philadelphia Flyers know one thing.  They will finally know the identity of their round two opponent by night’s end. Tomorrow will be a week since the Orange-and-Black unceremoniously dispatched of the New Jersey Devils in five games. And as the waiting game continues, more bad news came yesterday on the injury front. It was announced that forward

There were a lot of factors that went in to the Boston Bruins 4-2 series victory over the Buffalo Sabres. The Bruins used what got them to the second season, strong goaltending, tough defense and a crazy good penalty kill. But there was Bruin player that upped their game for the first round matchup. The season did not go the way Bruins captain Zdeno Chara would have liked. After

Penguins: Round 1 and On to the next one. Games 3&4 Both games were big wins for the Pens putting them up 3-1 in the series. Both games three and four were a great day for hockey. Game three began with a goal at the 1:17 mark from Alex Ponikarovsky the only goal scored that period. Mike Fisher scored in the second period at 1:53 to tie the game.

If any Boston Bruins player had a reason to complain about the way this season turned out, it is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner, Tim Thomas. Tim Thomas is a great goaltender and an even better teammate. He is a perfect example of a role model in the NHL. Thomas played in 54 games for the Bruins last season and posted a record of 36-11-7 with five shutouts. The Bruins
