Last night’s matchup between the Flyers and the Penguins was, for a whole host of reasons, an exciting one. A tightly played game through the regulation frame, with a bit of physical engagement already built in, the overtime period brought things to a completely new level. With two disallowed goals and frustration mounting, a bit of chippiness tacked on at the end of the period boiled over into something truly chaotic.
There was a full SCRAP between the Penguins and Flyers after overtime ...

The New England Patriots traded safety Kyle Dugger to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday, but they will not entirely remove him from their pay roll.

When the Philadelphia Flyers acquired Trevor Zegras from the Anaheim Ducks last summer, there was concern if he would really fit in. If he could truly be someone that gels with what they’re trying to do here and wear the Orange and Black as well as some other forwards have. And in one single game, he proved that not only can he led this team’s offense but also be as pesky as needed to be a perfect example of a Flyer.
During Tuesday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the first g...
