The Philadelphia Flyers have a decent team on the ice but off of it, they’re definitely one of the best in the NHL.
The Flyers inarguably have the best mascot perhaps in all of sports in Gritty. Now, they have a jumbotron that appeals to my sensibilities as a young child.
The Caps have traveled to Philly to take on their Metro Division rivals, the Flyers.

Former Capital and Stanley Cup Champion Matt Niskanen was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers for Radko Gudas over the offseason. On Wednesday, the Flyers shared the first glimpse of Niskanen practicing in Flyers’ orange and… it doesn’t feel right, y’all.
In mid-June, Flyers’ beat reporter Sam Carchidi tweeted that the Flyers had “given Niskanen a nickname: Nisky.” Hopefully, the Flyers will use the creative energy they didn’t spend on his nickname to come up with better puns than “Nisky business” as the season goes on.

The Washington Capitals continued this stretch of games on home ice with their final meeting of the season with the Philadelphia Flyers. The division race is ever tightening so all available points are needed.
Tom Wilson put a nifty deflection of a Nick Jensen wrist shot past Brian Elliot to open scoring. Travis Boyd added a deflection goal of his own before Jakub Voracek cut that lead in half on a Flyers power play. The superior Jakub restored said lead on a breakaway.
