There’s an excellent article in today’s Inquirer about Luca Sbisa and how the 18-year-old rookie has adjusted to the last few months as an NHLer. It’s a nice chronicle of how Sbisa has adapted to the United States after playing in Canada, how he’s adjusted to the NHL spotlight, and how his living situation has…
The Philadelphia Flyers returned home after a big win in Pittsburgh as they played host to the Columbus Blue Jackets. It was 90’s night in the Wells Fargo Center, and the orange and black were looking to build momentum heading into a tough month of December. Claude Giroux opened the scoring on a 2-on-1. Sean…
That more axes were going to fall in the wide world of the Flyers in the days following Ron Hextall’s firing was inevitable, and even more so following an embarrassing come-from-ahead loss on Tuesday night against the Ottawa Senators. But the cuts and firings made by the Flyers today came from all different directions and…

Paul Holmgren has spent the past several days essentially playing a twisted game of duck-duck-goose with the Flyers front office/coaching staff, and while it hasn’t been exactly “fun” to witness, I would say it’s been the most exciting this team has been all season. Chaos!…
On Friday, Ron Hextall made himself available for questions from the Philadelphia media in the hotel across the street from Skate Zone in Voorhees. Below is the full transcript of this conversation. Media questions in bold, Hextall’s responses in plain text. I didn’t see this coming in any way. I was shocked and I was…
Carter Hart made —and won— his NHL debut on Tuesday night, making 20 saves on 22 shots in the process at just 20 years old. That got us to thinking about how the NHL debuts of other notable goalies went for the Flyers, who have quite the storied history when it comes to men between…
