Claude Giroux and Shayne Gostisbehere have so much in common. For example, they’re both really great players on the Philadelphia Flyers. To celebrate that, they decided to get matching surgeries, or something. Those surgeries were scheduled to take place a couple of days ago, and indeed, we’ve already received an update on Giroux and his…
The Flyers are probably very familiar with Jake Bean. The 17-year-old Calgary Hitmen defender plays his junior hockey alongside two of the team’s most exciting prospects, Travis Sanheim and Radel Fazleev. He’s even been a frequent defensive partner to Sanheim himself. It’d fair to say that the Flyers have noticed Bean for the better part…
Ivan Provorov is an extremely good, extremely exciting player. We know this – it’s why the Philadelphia Flyers picked him at seventh overall roughly 11 months ago. It’s also how he was named the WHL Defenceman of the Year, all the while he helped his Brandon Wheat Kings win the WHL championship, and play in…
Unfortunately, Ivan Provorov’s season has ended. The Brandon Wheat Kings won the WHL championship, but failed to win any games at the Memorial Cup. As such, they’ve been knocked out of the four-team tournament, and now, Provorov’s time in the WHL might just officially be over. Provorov scored two assists through the tournament. His two…

Michael Del Zotto hasn’t played hockey since February. Sure, he still got to be around his team while they were making their playoff push – and were actually in the playoffs – but he hasn’t gotten to actually play in some time. His off-season kind of started ahead of everyone else’s. And then the actual…

*Hey how about the Flyers forward corps? What’s that like? How’s that doing? [CSN Philly] *Meltzer has some thoughts about Sean Couturier and a player’s confidence. [Hockeybuzz] *A lot of people think that Ryan White had a good season because he scored some goals here and there, but Charlie dug a little deeper. ‘Cause that’s…
Julien Gauthier, the big winger from the Val-d’Or Foreurs of the QMJHL, is an imposing player. His size plays a large part in that fact, but it’s his play that really makes him stand out. He’s a classic “bull” that wrecks havoc the closer to the net he gets, and has no problem going full…
