The NHL Board of Governors has approved the application of the Seattle franchise to join the league starting with the 2021-22 season. That means endless and probably unnecessary debate on protected lists, speculation on back room dealings and probably nowhere near as much acceptance as Flyers fans expressed when the Vegas Golden Knights selected Pierre-Edouard…
Perhaps the only thing more desperate than holiday shoppers on this Black Friday are the Philadelphia Flyers. Losers of four-straight, the Flyers have plummeted to the bottom of the Metropolitan Division and are just a point away from being the worst in the Eastern Conference. The latest setback was a 5-2 loss to Buffalo on…
The Flyers gave up two shorthanded goals in the span of 24 seconds in this game, and still managed to get the win in overtime, getting there via a Dale Weise breakaway goal. I say this affectionately, Flyers, but this team is so dumb. Stats and graphics courtesy of Natural Stat Trick 1st Period Alright…
Connor McDavid scored twice and added an assist in the Oilers’ 4-1 win over the Flyers at Rogers Place on Friday night. It’s the fourth loss in five games for the reeling Flyers, who sure didn’t look like a team playing with the sense of urgency you need to when you’re a team away from…
We’re back, folks! Our first Saturday home game in a hot second was a good one, as the Flyers continued their homestand, meeting the struggling Chicago Blackhawks and dispatched of them with relative ease. As we’ve been saying of the last couple games, this one too got a little bit weird. But hey, a shutout’s…
1st Period The Flyers’ slow starts almost came back to bite them early on in this one, as just about two minutes in, Wayne Simmonds took a tripping penalty sending the Kings to the game’s first power play. However, with strong work by Sean Couturier, Ivan Provorov and co. the Flyers were able to kill…
Earlier today the Philadelphia Flyers announced that goaltender Alex Lyon and forward Tyrell Goulbourne have been loaned to their AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Both Goulbourne and Lyon appeared in zero games for the Flyers during their latest recall, although both had seen NHL time with the club last season. Per GM Ron Hextall…
Oh. Man. This was not the result we were expecting, but also, in a way, exactly the result we were expecting, given how things have been going around here. It’s been rough, friends. All stats via Natural Stat Trick and NHL.com 1.Not a particularly inspiring start With the Flyers’ starts having been a hot topic…
In the wake of the Flyers firing GM Ron Hextall on November 26th, Flyers fans were left in a classic “He said/he said” situation. While team president Paul Holmgren and chairman Dave Scott painted a simple picture of “philosophical differences” and were fairly gracious to Hextall, a series of stories appearing in various mediums shed…
Following yet another uneven and wildly streaky start to the season, the Flyers decided to act in the most decisive manner possible by announcing Monday morning that they had relieved GM Ron Hextall of his duties and would begin an immediate search for his successor. Team president, and Hextall’s predecessor, Paul Holmgren will lead the…
