SIMMONDS HEATING UP ON ROAD TRIP

The Flyers’ four-game road trip, which took the team through games against all three California-based NHL clubs and concludes tomorrow night in Columbus, has thus far been a glass half-full or half-empty proposition.

Laughton a Bright Spot in a Dark Time

It is not hard to compile a list of things that are going wrong with the Philadelphia Flyers this season. It’s a lot tougher to find things outside of Jakub Voracek and Claude Giroux’s assist and point totals that are going right.

If you read Eliotte Friedman’s latest 30 Thoughts column at TSN, it is filled with things that are not pleasant to read from

FLYERS BLOW LEAD, SALVAGE A POINT IN SHOOTOUT LOSS IN ANAHEIM

In a wild game marked by sloppy play, strange bounces and counter-attacking offense from both sides, the Philadelphia Flyers were simultaneously fortunate not to lose in regulation and unlucky not to get two points from Wednesday night’s game in Anaheim. Ultimately, the Ducks prevailed via shootout, 5-4.
