    POSTGAME QUOTES:
    HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
    On tonight’s game:
    “We got some really good opportunities in the third period and made good on them. Did some good things
    leading to the Matthews goal. We didn’t win many shifts today but that was one that we did a good job of.
    Had the puck, had them really running and it leads to an empty net so those kind of things we capitalized
    on really well. That Rielly goal was similar, but yeah not a very good hockey game by us.”
    On Campbell’s first game back since injury:
    “He just looked like Jack. I loved the way he played tonight. That first period especially, the first 10
    minutes or so was a disaster by us in front of him. That save he made early in the game, those kind of
    things, that’s Jack at his best so really good to see him and great to have him back.”
    AUSTON MATTHEWS
    On tonight’s effort:
    “I just think we were a little bit flat coming out. We couldn’t really establish much in their zone, I think just
    a lot of quick in and outs. I thought halfway through the second we got a little more life going and
    obviously in the third I think we just took over. It definitely wasn’t a pretty one, especially those first two
    periods but I think just sticking with it and sometimes you’ve just got to grind these games out when the
    offence isn’t clicking on all cylinders so I thought we got it together in the third and put a couple goals in
    and gave ourselves some insurance. I definitely think those first two periods we’d like to clean up.”
    On Campbell’s first game back since injury:
    “I thought he looked great. He looked really comfortable in there, looked really confident, he looked like
    Soup. It’s been a bit of a rough road the last couple weeks or months with coming back from his injury but
    he’s put in a lot of work into it obviously and everyone knows how hard he works and how much he cares
    and wants to compete for us every night. I thought he looked really good tonight and that’s just a really
    positive thing moving forward for us as a team and him individually.”
    WAYNE SIMMONDS
    On his goal and tonight’s win:
    “It was nice to obviously chip in and help out in the cause. Obviously the most important thing was we got
    the two points so it was good.”
    On his breakaway goal:
    “Yeah it was a really good feed from TJ. I actually had one right before but I’m happy I didn’t catch it
    because I think we would have had too many men on the ice but we were given another shot and
    honestly Blackwell told me it was the ugliest breakaway move he’s ever seen and I don’t think he’s
    wrong.”
    JACK CAMPBELL
    On tonight’s win:
    “Great win by the guys, they’ve been playing great and watching them the past month and just wanted to
    get back in there and get back to stopping pucks and having fun. The boys played amazing in front of me
    and get a big two points.”
    On coming back from injury:
    “I definitely felt like myself, just having fun and competing and playing my game. There are some details
    that I want to clean up but I really liked the game from the boys in front of me and I liked my game and
    just going to keep building from it.

NOTES OF THE NIGHT
The Flyers come into today’s game riding a five-game home unbeaten streak, having gone 4-0-1 dating back to March 5. The Flyers have seven home
games remaining including tonight.
Ronnie Attard is expected to become the third Flyer to make his NHL debut in a little over a week, joining Hayden Hodgson (3/24) and Noah Cates
(3/29). Attard was a third-round pick (72nd overall) in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and signed a two-year entry-level contract on Tuesday following the
conclusion of his third season at Western Michigan University. Attard posted 13 goals and 23 assists for 36 points in 39 games this season to lead the
Broncos to a berth in the NCAA tournament and the first NCAA tournament win in school history. Western Michigan finished with a record of 26-12-1, the
most wins in program history.
Hayden Hodgson had a goal and an assist last Thursday night in his NHL debut in St. Louis and followed that up with six shots on goal Friday night in
Colorado, while playing more than 16 minutes in each game. On Sunday in Nashville, he played 13:53 while registering his first NHL fight. Per NHL
Stats, Hodgson became just the eighth player in franchise history to record a multi-point game in his NHL debut that included at least one goal, and the
first to do so since David Laliberte in 2009. The full list is below:
Travis Konecny had a four-game scoring streak come to an end Tuesday in Minnesota. Konecny’s streak included three consecutive multi-point
games, one of two goals and the others of two assists each. Per NHL Stats, Konecny became the second Flyer to have three straight multi-point games
this season after Joel Farabee did it in the first three games of the year.
Konecny has at least a point in 21 of his last 30 games dating back to January 15, posting a total of seven goals and 17 assists for 24 points in that
stretch. It included a career-high seven-game scoring streak (1G, 6A) from Jan. 29 – Feb. 22. He has 33 points in 43 games since the Flyers’ coaching
change on December 5 for an average of 0.77 points per game after posting 10 points in the first 21 games of the year (0.47 PPG). Konecny’s 31 assists
on the season lead the Flyers and are just six off his career high of 37 set in 66 games during the shortened 2019-20 season, when he was an NHL AllStar.
Joel Farabee has 11 goals and 14 assists for 25 points in his last 32 games dating back to November 24, a period of time which included him missing a
total of 18 games with upper-body injuries. He has four goals and 10 assists for 14 points in 16 games since returning to the lineup on February 26. He
has points in seven of his last nine games, three of which were two-point contests, and he has a total of four goals and six assists for 10 points in that
most recent nine-game run.
Rasmus Ristolainen has 214 hits on the season, which leads the Flyers and is third among NHL defensemen. The total is 77 more than anyone else on
the roster despite missing seven games. Ristolainen has at least one hit in 27 consecutive games and in 58 of the 60 games he has played this season.
He had six hits and six blocked shots March 8 vs. Vegas, becoming the first Flyer to accomplish that feat since Radko Gudas in November 2016 and just
the fifth Flyer to do so since the league started tracking the stats in 2005-06. He followed that up with seven hits and five blocks March 13 vs. Montreal.
Cam Atkinson leads the Flyers in scoring with 50 points (23G, 27A). He’s posted 30 points in his last 35 games. Atkinson leads the team in evenstrength points with 42 and in shots on goal with 203. His six game-winning goals also lead the team, as do his three shorthanded goals on the season;
he is one of 11 players in the NHL to have three or more and is just the second Flyer to have that many since the 2013-14 season, joining Kevin Hayes’
four SHG in 2019-20. Seventeen of Atkinson’s 23 goals this season have come on home ice. Atkinson posted five goals and 10 assists for 15 points
over 13 games in the month of January, which was seven points more than anyone else on the roster.
Keith Yandle became the NHL’s all-time ironman on Jan. 25 when he played his 965th consecutive game in the Flyers’ visit to the New York Islanders.
Yandle’s streak, which reached 989 on Tuesday, dates back 13 years ago yesterday to March 26, 2009 and has included time with Phoenix/Arizona, the
New York Rangers, Florida, and now the Flyers. Tonight is slated to be Yandle’s 1100th career game.

    “a puck that deflects into the net off an attacking Player’s skate who does not use a ‘distinct kicking
    motion’ shall be ruled a GOAL. A puck that is directed into the net by an attacking Players’ skate shall
    also be ruled a GOAL, as long as no ‘distinct kicking motion’ is evident.”

    POSTGAME QUOTES:
    HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE

    Q: On tonight’s game:
    Sheldon Keefe: I just thought we did a really good job of defending our net today both coming into our
    zone and into the defensive zone. I really liked our special teams, penalty killing was outstanding. That
    gives us a lot of life and lot of chances obviously to keep it out of our net. If we keep the score down and
    keep the game manageable as offence was hard to come by. And then we get a goal and I don’t think we
    gave them very much after that, and the power play come through and we get a nice insurance goal so I
    just liked the intensity of our team played with defensively in a game we knew was going to be low event
    and hard to get much offence as a team in Philadelphia that hasn’t given up much throughout the season
    in terms of chances against and goals against so we needed to be able to be comfortable playing in a
    tight game. When we went into the third, we talked about being comfortable winning the game 1-0 if that’s
    what it was going to take and we thought that if we had that approach there would be some offence
    available to us. Textbook third period in a lot of ways. It was a clean win for our team.
    AUSTON MATTHEWS (TWO ASSISTS)
    Q: Good response game?
    Matthews: “…Really good response from us. Everybody down the lineup just really, really solid all
    throughout. Soupy was unbelievable for us, just like he’s been all year. Big kudos to him but I just thought
    our effort from puck drop was just really solid throughout the whole game.”
    Q: On William Nylander:
    Matthews: When he’s going, he’s going. When he’s skating and moving his feet, he’s dangerous all over
    the ice and he leads the play well obviously with his skills and his skating. He sees the ice well and he’s
    easy to play with. He’s been shooting the puck a little bit more and it’s obviously been going in so he’s
    obviously a huge part of this team so when he’s going it obviously makes it a lot easier on us.
    JACK CAMPBELL (36 SAVES)
    Q: Do you feel like you were able to bounce back from the other night?
    Campbell: “Certainly. You could tell right from the get-go that we had a serious purpose out there and
    just executed the whole night. To beat a team like Philly in their own building, and then you gotta win the
    net front, they have a lot of great players in front of the net and they weren’t able to get any tips out there
    and we were just doing such a great job in front.”
    Q: Did you feel like you were in the zone tonight?
    Campbell: “I felt like everybody was in the zone, top to bottom. Doesn’t matter who it was, everybody did
    their job and did it for 60 minutes. It’s great to see.
    WILLIAM NYLANDER (TWO GOALS)
    Q: Did you think your first goal was going to survive video review?
    Nylander: “I didn’t really know. I didn’t know if I kicked it or not but when I got to the bench they told me it
    was a goal so I was pretty confident that it would be a goal.”
    Q: Do you feel like you’re in a zone right now?
    Nylander: “Yeah, I think we’re buzzing as a line, creating a lot of chances, and the power play is starting
    to get really good.

Bruins pound Flyers into submission, 6-1 — Lowell Sun

Former Phillies infielder Tony Taylor dies at 84 — HardballTalk | NBC Sports

Tony Taylor, who spent 15 of his 19 seasons with the Phillies, died on Thursday as a result of complications from a 2019 stroke.

Former Phillies infielder Tony Taylor dies at 84 — HardballTalk | NBC Sports

By Bill BaerJul 16, 2020, 4:05 PM EDT2 Comment

Longtime Phillies infielder Tony Taylor died on Thursday morning at the age of 84 due to complications following a stroke suffered in 2019, the club announced.

Taylor played 19 seasons in the majors from 1958-76, 15 of them with the Phillies. He was one of the most popular players in Philadelphia, even though he wouldn’t reach the postseason with the Phillies until his final year with the team in 1976.

The Phillies originally acquired Taylor from the Cubs in May 1960 along with Cal Neeman, sending Ed Bouchee and Don Cardwell to Chicago. Taylor was traded from the Phillies to the Tigers in June 1971 for a pair of minor leaguers. The Tigers released him in the offseason after the 1973 season and he re-signed for a second stint with the Phillies.

Across his 19 years in the big leagues, Taylor hit .261/.321/.352 with 298 doubles, 75 home runs, 598 RBI, 1,005 runs scored, and 234 stolen bases. He was also well-regarded for his defense. Taylor was a two-time All-Star, making it twice in 1960, during the brief period MLB played two All-Star Games in the same season.

Taylor was inducted into the Phillies’ Wall of Fame in 2002. A native of Cuba, Taylor was also inducted into the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame in 2004.

Flyers’ Lindblom making progress as he nears end of cancer treatments — ProHockeyTalk | NBC Sports

Oskar Lindblom is coming to the end of his treatments for Ewing’s sarcoma, though it’s still unknown if he’ll be able to play for the Flyers next season.

Flyers assistant GM Brett Flahr told The Philadelphia Inquirer this week that the forward, who was diagnosed with the form of bone cancer in December, “looks terrific” and “as he gets his last treatments, the worst is over for him.”

“Oskar’s going through his last treatments coming up here, but everything I’ve been told from [team trainer] Jimmy [McCrossin] has been very positive,” Flahr told Sam Carchidi. “He feels great, considering the condition he’s in. He’s such a great kid and he’s determined. His focus is to play as soon as possible.”

While many players have returned home since the NHL suspended the season on March 12, Lindblom, who hails from Gavle, Sweden, stayed in Philadelphia to undergo treatments at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Since his diagnosis, he’s visited his teammates a few times, and even dropped by during team photo day.wayne fish@waynefish1
