BUFFALO — With the 169th pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, the Philadelphia Flyers have selected defenseman Linus Hogberg of the Vaxjo Lakers of the Swedish Hockey League. Not much known about this guy, but we’ll see what we can find. For starters, he’s super young: a 17 year old who doesn’t turn 18 until…
Carsen Twarynski is Canadian, so the Fourth of July probably doesn’t mean a whole lot to him. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have anything to celebrate, though; after all, he was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers a little over a week ago. So how about some cupcakes? It’s the little things that matter, glad to…
*We made it through the long weekend opening of free agency without Ron doing anything completely insane. Biggest thing was signing Dale Weise which like…whatever, I guess. [BSH] *The Flyers also signed a former Hobey Baker winner to bring a little depth to Lehigh Valley. [BSH] *In fact the Phantoms are looking pretty good right…
For the second year in a row, the Philadelphia Flyers went with a Russian as their first pick in the NHL draft. But unlike Ivan Provorov, who came over to North America rather early to play, German Rubtsov has only played in Russia. He’s completely new to Philadelphia, so he’ll need a bit of help…
With their fourth pick of the 2016 NHL Draft, the Philadelphia Flyers picked up Wade Allison: a 6’2, 205 lb. right winger coming off of a .84 point per game season in the USHL. That’s what a basic look at his stat sheet will tell you – and, indeed, how his “job application” from The…
Today was Wayne Simmonds‘ Road Hockey Warriors tournament, and judging by just how active not only his Twitter but even Sportchek’s was, it looks like it was a success. This is what @W_R_H_W is about. Inspiring the youth to reach their hockey dreams. pic.twitter.com/aYwuxXOnnr — Wayne Simmonds (@Simmonds17) July 9, 2016 Loved talking @W_R_H_W &…
Even after a surprise run to the playoffs last season, it’s become obvious that the Philadelphia Flyers will not take the next step into true Stanley Cup contention without some new additions to the roster. A relatively uneventful free agency period hammered home the point that true impact talent isn’t coming from outside the organization…
They managed to slip the news in earlier this afternoon while the rest of the NHL was eating itself alive, but the Philadelphia Flyers announced their development camp roster on Wednesday afternoon and confirmed that the events will take place between July 7 and 12. The camp lineup consists of almost everyone in the Flyers’…
*Yesterday the Flyers agreed to multi-year terms with former Maple Leafs/Marlies defenseman T.J. Brennan. Did you know he’s from South Jersey?! [Flyers] *The move seems to cement the idea that Hexy wants to surround our prospect talent with capable vets in order to boost their development. Fun side effect is that the Phantoms are going…
Before the Philadelphia Flyers selected Pascal Laberge in the second round at 36th overall, he wrote for The Players’ Tribune about how much that would mean to him. It means a lot to any hockey player – but that thought comes at the end of Laberge’s piece, because he had to go through so much…
