Denver Barkey taking lessons in Flyers first round playoff series
On home ice for last night’s Game 4, the Flyers learned in real time how difficult it is to sweep a playoff series in the National Hockey League. With a chance to take care of business and close out the series tidily in four games, the Flyers instead delivered their flattest showing of the postseason — lacking intensity at times, looking bogged down by the Penguins’ forecheck, and struggling to get much of anything going in the way of dangerous scoring chances. It was a game in which they...

Owen Tippett trolls Sidney Crosby with ‘Crosby sucks’ message on signed puck
There’s always a slight chance it’s a doctored image, but a social media post this afternoon might fan some flames leading to tomorrow night’s Game 4 against the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins.
