‘I think the closeness might have won us the series’: Flyers finding playoff success through the power of friendship
Since the Flyers went up 3-0 against the Penguins last week, one of the prevailing narratives around the team was a reminder of how difficult it is to put away a series completely, particularly against a veteran team like that Penguins squad. When the Flyers delivered a flat showing in Game 4, and when they failed to complete their comeback in Game 5 to come away with the win, that fact was driven home as clearly as could be. Their fate was still in their own hands, but this task would be as d...

Cardiac Crawford: Phillies 3, Giants 2
Pitching matchups are fun when they are marquee matchups. Logan Webb against Cristopher Sanchez is something one might consider marquee. It was that way for a while, but a wild ending propelled the Phillies to a victory, one that gave them their first series win since Easter. The Giants opened the scoring by getting to […]
Makai Lemon jersey number: First Eagles player to wear No. 9 since Nick Foles
We have a MAJOR #JerseyNumberAnalytics update to share: Makai Lemon is going to wear No. 9. The Philadelphia Eagles’ first-round pick from the 2026 NFL Draft revealed as much during a Thursday afternoon press conference ahead of the team’s rookie minicamp this weekend. This is an unexpected development since No. 9 has been out of […]
Derrick White focused on having fun through shooting struggles
PHILADELPHIA — Derrick White went through his usual extended shootaround routine on Thursday in Philadelphia. He practiced set shots, mid-rangers, floater and mixed in some high-arcing ones. White missed often, something he continues to struggle with into the late stages of the Celtics’ series against the 76ers, but he’s more focused on shaking the misses […]
Grading every Flyer in the series win over the Penguins
It was a white-knuckle Game 6, but in the end the Philadelphia Flyers prevailed in their first-round battle against the Pittsburgh Penguins. And before we look ahead to the Carolina Hurricanes, it’s grading day for all of the Flyers who participated in the six-game series. Here they are according to position, but in no particular order. Goaltenders Dan Vladar Vladar stopped 148 of 158 shots in six games and change, including a stellar 42-save performance in Game 6. A ridiculousl...
Jason Kelce clarifies Jeff Stoutland’s perceived slight at Kevin Patullo
Early in this week’s New Heights episode with Jason and Travis Kelce, the former Eagles center brought up comments made in last week’s episode by former OL coach Jeff Stoutland. Jason attempted to clarify Stout’s comments about the 2025 offensive struggles, and he and Travis proceeded to explain why play-calling is never on just one […]

Did we get it right? Revisiting our Flyers-Penguins series predictions
Before the Philadelphia Flyers took on the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the playoffs, a whole bunch of writers here at Broad Street Hockey huddled around a document and decided to jot down some thoughts and some predictions for what is going to happen. And now, after the Flyers knocked the Penguins out of the playoffs in six games, we get to sit back and look at all of our predictions and just how right (or terribly wrong) they are. Well, hopefully we don’t look like a b...
Mike Schmidt on struggling Phillies’ and firing managers
As fans continue to digest the news of Rob Thomson’s dismissal as Phillies manager, at least one legendary member of the franchise isn’t wild about the idea of firing a manager so early in the season. Speaking to me on Monday, prior to Thomson’s firing, for my Hittin’ Season podcast, powered by WHYY, Hall of […]
Steelers had high interest in drafting another Penn State star
The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t just miss on one draft target — they may have missed on two. Much of the post-draft conversation has centered around wide receiver Makai Lemon, who was reportedly on the phone with Pittsburgh before the Philadelphia Eagles jumped ahead to select him. But according to a recent report, Lemon wasn’t the […]

The Sixers can still win with this version of Joel Embiid
Imagine not being able to enjoy Joel Embiid’s fantastic Game 5 performance in Boston. Surely, Sixers fans have been emotionally fatigued after nearly a decade of not getting out of the second round with a slew of different roster iterations centered around Embiid. After last season’s debacle, many of them likely resigned to the team […]
Closing thoughts on the 2025-26 Penguins playoff experience
The Pittsburgh Penguins playoff run and 2025-26 season came to an end on Wednesday night with a 1-0 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. It is a frustrating loss, mostly because the Penguins were the better team for most of the game, including the third period and overtime. It was the third consecutive game in […]
The Flyers’ new era just got started and it feels different
Throughout the Flyers first round series against the Penguins, a common talking point that was brought up either on the broadcast, or in other media circles, was the gap in playoff experience. Pittsburgh’s roster had nearly four times the postseason games played compared to the youthful Flyers, whose total was even boosted disproportionally by their grizzled fourth line. The majority of the important pieces that they were relying on had never been here before, and in the case of nam...
Randal Grichuk was DFA’d by the Yankees. Should the Phillies be interested?
Arguably the Phillies’ biggest weakness in the start to a season that’s been full of them is left-handed pitching. As a team, they’re dead last in batting average (.180), OPS (.567), and wRC+ (61) against lefties. They have yet to win a game against a non-opener left-handed starting pitcher. Clearly, the Phillies need all the […]
Flyers followed Dan Vladar’s lead to eliminate Penguins in dramatic fashion
It won’t show up on the scoresheet, and it wasn’t directed at anyone in particular. But at one point in overtime, Dan Vladar sounded like he had enough. And he let his teammates know it. With just under six minutes to go in Game 6, and the game still looking for its first goal, Flyers defenseman Cam York cleared the puck. But once again — as was the case for nearly all of the overtime — the Penguins gobbled the puck up in the neutral zone and drove back in. York again played the puck behi...
Phillies News: Don Mattingly, Dave Dombrowski, Garrett Crochet
I hope you’re in the mood for some Phillies baseball, as there will be two games played today thanks to the rainout last night. It will be a split doubleheader, with game one beginning at 12:35 and game two beginning at 5:35. If you were one of the lucky ones with tickets for last night’s […]
Pens Points: End of the Line
Up until the very end, the Pittsburgh Penguins battled and fought to force a Game 7 against the Philadelphia Flyers in their first round series, but Dan Vladar was a brick wall in net and Cam York found a just enough daylight behind Arturs Silovs to score an overtime winner that gave the Flyers a […]
Thursday Morning Fly By: Moving on
*There’s no sense burying the lede here: the Flyers are moving on to the second round! It took a weird and wild overtime game to get there, but they pulled it off. [ BSH ] *Defenseman Cam York was the overtime hero, and he celebrated it in probably the funniest way possible. [ BSH ] *Of course, there’s a whole lot to dig into after a win as big as that one.

Flyers’ Cam York went full rockstar to kill the Penguins’ dreams
With the weight of the city of Philadelphia on his shoulders, Flyers defenseman Cam York was able to finish off the Pittsburgh Penguins in dramatic fashion. Potentially ending that entire era of Penguins hockey with one quick flick of his wrist from the point in an improbable overtime period. And of course, he celebrated like a mad man. The Flyers and Penguins were butting heads for the entire 60 minutes through regulation — trading off brief glimpses of high-event hockey as both teams ha...
