I saw the scrimmage. I won’t be commenting on every goal. I am basically looking at what I saw the other day in camp, plus whatever a player has done to this point and then how that looked in the scrimmage. Alex Ciernik – RW - I need to see

Philadelphia Flyers goalie, Sam Ersson has played in 42 NHL games and 47 AHL games. The rookie is in his hockey infancy. The fact that he’s 24 is a plus because he’s very mature but as far as game experience. He’s still gaining a lot of that on the job. 42

Oh great, now they’ve done it. Why can’t we ever have an NHL season during which the “unwritten rules” of the sport don’t dominate headlines for days? Unless you were living under a rock this past weekend, you’ve almost assuredly heard about how Morgan Rielly of the Toronto Maple Leafs went

The Philadelphia Flyers selected 6-3 goalie Carson Bjarnason with the 51st overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. This is what you need to know about this player. With a name like Bjarnson, if you do not know where he is from you might assume he is a Swede. But

Rangers vs. Flyers PPL Friday Game I took in the game yesterday and there was some rust for a bit over the first period. When that was shaken off the pace got better. There were some very good players on the ice. The Flyers' forwards were slower than the Rangers', but

Julian Lutz Is Getting Last Minute Draft Attention

Hockeyology

by Russ_Cohen - June 14, 2022June 16, 20220

Julian Lutz is a center who only played in 14 games for Munchen in the DEL. While he did play in the U18s and was a point-per-game, I confess I lost track of him. I lost the thread. It’s easy to do when you’re looking at so many players to

The Flyers Defenseman Development Cycle

by Russ_Cohen - February 26, 2022March 3, 20220

Cam York is the future of the Flyers. He’s had a good year all-around, but he hasn’t had a chance to make his mark. If the Flyers want to keep him in Lehigh for the rest of the year, I can’t argue with that, but York played better than many

The NHL 56-game season has snuck up on some teams, and now with COVID-19 issues in the North Division, specifically with the Vancouver Canucks, the landscape has changed drastically, and what was the case a few weeks ago for teams has changed. I’m not even currently guessing what the return
