One final (maybe) update on the future of the site
Cue up the *NSYNC. It’s gonna be May. When the new site launched back on April 1st (-ish), we decided to make all of the content free to let everyone see the kind of fun, entertaining, and interesting things we intend to do at the site going forward. As we close out April today, it’ll…

Flyperbole: Why arent you the way that you are?
The first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs is in full swing, so Steve and Quigz sat down before Thursday night’s games and discussed the matchups to that point. The guys also talked about Cutter Gauthier meeting John Tortorella as well as the NBA in-season tournament and if something like that could work for the…

Taking a deep dive into the Phantoms’ first round exit
This time last week, just as quicky as it began, the Phantoms’ playoff run was coming to a close. Really, it was less of a gentle peter out and more of a door slamming in their face – the Phantoms were handed a matchup against the Checkers that they were probably ill suited for, and…

The Flyers need help
Nothing makes procrastinating easier than baseball. With the Broad Street Run coming up Sunday, I had to put in some miles Sunday. I went to a wedding the night before, so you can see where this is going. I put it off until after the Phils closed out a win. I didn’t realize this was…

2022-23 Player Review: Kevin Hayes had a great season for the most part
It can be difficult to objectively evaluate Kevin Hayes’ season without a few things clouding your judgement. First and foremost, there’s the contract. When the terms of his deal were revealed back when he signed before the 2019-20 season, the consensus on his contract was “not ideal by any stretch, but fine because the Flyers…

Thursday Morning Fly By: Stayin’ alive
James van Riemsdyk spent the past season with the Philadelphia Flyers. The whole season, in fact, to the surprise of many! You may have heard about that! Anyways, about his season: [BSH] The Flyers still need to hire a Guy for their front office. What should that guy be able to do, and who might…
