Michael Raffl

Andy Dudones | February 23, 2015

It is a bit strange that Claude Giroux has yet to score a home goal at even-strength this season. But if this random coincidence is being used to reduce the…

Healthy Michael Raffl Imperative to Flyers’ Playoff Push

Andy Dudones | February 17, 2015

With no help coming in the form of an addition at this year’s trade deadline, it appears the Flyers’ quest for the post-season has become a bit steeper. In the…

Petr Straka Gives Glimpse of Flyers’ Fruitful Future

Andy Dudones | February 2, 2015

It was a short introduction to the NHL for Petr Straka. The 22-year-old winger was called up to the Flyers last week after appearing in only 99 games of professional…

Flyers Backcheck: Mason’s 46 Saves Not Good Enough?

Andy Dudones | November 25, 2014

The New York Islanders threw everything they had, and more, at Flyers goalie Steve Mason on Monday night. The seven-year veteran saw an astounding 46 shots on net in Philadelphia’s…

Flyers Stumble out of Gate Again, Chief on the Hot Seat?

Andy Dudones | October 12, 2014
