Last year, when Eric Lindros was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, we wrote this: The only remaining question regarding Lindros’ greatness? Whether or not the Flyers will retire his No. 88. Aside from Barry Ashbee’s No. 4, the Flyers have reserved the honor of number retirement only to players who have been inducted…
Can someone please explain to me how meeting in the Stanley Cup Final one time, a time that shall never be mentioned again, equals a rivalry? No? Got it. The Flyers face-off tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks, looking to bounce back from an overtime loss at the hands of the formerly winless Arizona Coyotes. The…
UPDATE, 10/3: Read has cleared waivers and has been loaned to the Phantoms, per the team this afternoon. #Flyers loan forward Matt Read to the @LVPhantoms: https://t.co/a12UsjM3ht — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) October 3, 2017 Our guess is still that Read will probably not be with the Phantoms for long — just as long as it…

The Flyers injury tour continues when they take on the depleted defense of the Nashville Predators tonight. BSH Radio’s Steph Driver sits down with Alex Daugherty from On The Forecheck to discuss the last of the Flyers’ opening road trip games. Topics of discussion include: What should we expect to see from this Nashville team?…
The Flyers rallied back from a 3-0 defecit with five unanswered goals but were unable to make the lead stick in a 6-5 loss to the Predators on Tuesday night. Here are five takeaways from the game. 1.

In the games played so far this preseason, we’ve seen the Flyers putting up some serious offensive pressure but largely fail to capitalize, at least in a way that was proportionate to the effort put forward. The…
