If sports gambling has taught me anything it's that there's always a profitable angle. No matter the game there's always a way to make some money. You, the NHL -watching public might not think that applies to your sport but it really does. There's a way to make money even off of bad teams. Here are a few tips on how to bet on some of the worst…

If you saw this stretch of excellence coming from the Philadelphia Flyers, raise your hand. Didn't think so. The Flyers, who all season have been without their top-line center (Sean Couturier), their MVP from last year (Cam Atkinson), and their best all-around defenseman (Ryan Ellis), are the NHL's hottest team. They have won seven of their last…

All the latest Montreal Canadiens news, as well as the most recent news from around the NHL. The NHL's Central Scouting Bureau released their mid-term rankings, giving fans a better idea of the type of skilled players that will be available at the 2023 Draft. Spoiler: They'll probably end up with a very talented forward. Several Canadiens veterans…

The NHL Trade Deadline is seven weeks away and the New York Rangers hot play has them as buyers come March 3, 2023. While there's 19 games to be played for the Blueshirts between today and that date, it's always smart to plan ahead. Last season, GM Chris Drury made a handful of small to medium size moves to acquire Andrew Copp, Frank Vatrano, Tyler…

Rebuilds in the NHL are different. There can be tanking for long periods of time, or really short rebuilds where teams rebound quickly and become contenders. One thing that helps a short rebuild is lottery luck. Teams like New Jersey and the New York Rangers have been able to flip around rebuilds quickly and construct contending teams by winning…

Talk to Flyers assistant coach Brad Shaw, architect of a penalty kill that now has six short-handed goals in the past month, and one would think he'd be satisfied with its attacking mentality. And he is, to a point. But one nagging issue still eats at him, going against all of his natural coaching inclinations. The Philadelphia penalty kill may not…

Most people find any all-star to be a one-way ticket to Dullsville, but you don't always hear a coach rip them the way Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella did. Torts was asked if he was disappointed that Flyers winger Travis Konecny had been left off the NHL All-Star. Konecny has been one of the league's hottest hands since the holiday…

Move over, Connor McDavid. There is a newer, younger and hotter Connor on everyone's radar: Connor Bedard. The consensus first-overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft just increased the hype with a record-setting performance at the World Juniors. And he has not slowed down. Thus, a handful of NHL teams are shamelessly tanking in hopes of winning…

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Philadelphia Flyers face off at Wells Fargo Center tonight.

Amid a five-game slide, the Philadelphia Flyers travel to the Bell Centre to battle the Montreal Canadiens. On the road against the Boston Bruins, the Flyers measured up to the best team in the NHL through two periods. Entering the third, behind 1-0, the scoreboard favored the Bruins. Boston capitalized on the powerplay to run away with the…

On Thursday, John Tortorella provided more transparency ahead of the recent loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning: "It hasn't changed my thinking as far as what I think needs to be done here. This team needs to be built, and it needs to be built from the footers. We're not even in the foundation, we're in the footer position as far as I'm concerned. Just…

It's been a long 2022 for the Flyers and their fans. The team has suffered through a lot of losses, been stricken by injuries to key players, dealt with a coaching change, and said goodbye to one of the franchise's greatest-ever players in Claude Giroux. How bad has it been? The Flyers have accumulated a putrid 24-51-12 record and earned just 60 of…

The year 2022 is one both the San Jose Sharks (11-19-6, seventh Pacific) and the Philadelphia Flyers (11-17-7, seventh Metropolitan) would rather forget. Both teams have lost far more games than they have won. While not mathematically out of the playoff picture just yet, it's clear that, barring a miracle, this is the last time these two teams will…

Of course Nick Sirianni said Tuesday that he would not rule out playing Jalen Hurts on Christmas Eve against the Dallas Cowboys. And the quarterback said there's "definitely a chance" he'll suit up only six days after suffering a sprained right shoulder against the Chicago Bears. Does anyone believe that? Granted, the Eagles can wrap up the top…

Unless one of these teams has a 2019 St. Louis Blues-level turnaround, there is a good chance that one of them…

When Travis Sanheim arrived back in Philadelphia this summer, he was asked to model the team's new " Reverse Retro" jerseys. Sanheim has "no idea" why he was chosen to be the model, but he said it was cool to be the one to showcase the new jerseys. While he really liked the Reverse Retros, he knows not everyone was so enthusiastic about the…

The defending champs from Colorado have hit their stride. The two-time defending champs before them are…

Fortunately for them, Evgenii Dadonov was put on injured reserve (IR) with a virus on the day Edmundson was activated for play, temporarily giving the Habs some space. However, Dadonov is due back next week, and to keep the…

Starting with the San Jose Sharks in 1991, the NHL awarded franchises to seven cities during the 1990s. Among the first, were the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Ottawa Senators, who both came into the league during the 1992-93 season. As expansion teams, the road to success and financial stability would take many seasons. Over the years, the Lightning…

It's very early in the NHL season, but the records for both the Flyers and Lightning are probably the opposite of what we expected.

Nevertheless, oddsmakers aren't expecting a surprise in this one…

There's just a pair of games on the ice tonight, and they're both Eastern Conference battles.

In the end, fourth-line goals and top-line heroics didn't matter for the Pittsburgh Penguins as they gift-wrapped a game they should have won and delivered it to the Boston Bruins.
