Maybe it’s like this every offseason, or maybe it’s just my perception given that we’re two years removed from another of these extremely disappointing playoff runs, but we’ve been getting a lot of email and a lot of feedback since the season ended for not being harsh enough. You know, we’re not holding people accountable….
Jakub Voracek has a contract. The restricted free agent winger, picked up by the Flyers from Columbus in the Jeff Carter trade, has signed a one year deal worth $2.25 million, according to Bob McKenzie of TSN. That would be exactly what our Eric T. predicted earlier this week. Defenseman Andreas Lilja has also signed…
The Philadelphia Flyers have kicked the tires on Evgeni Nabokov before. Last year at the 2010 Entry Draft in Los Angeles, they went as far basically trading for the guy (alright, it was a “verbal agreement”), gaining an exclusive negotiating window with the goaltender for the four days between the draft and July 1. A…
We continue our not-completed, not-gonna-be-completed Grading The Flyers series today with a look at James van Riemsdyk. Ironically, this was written last weekend before JvR signed a massive contract extension, but of course, that also provides some unique context here. If the stats lines on this post looks funny to you, try signing up for…
Chris Pronger spoke via conference call today about the end of the season and his injuries, saying among other things that “the year from hell is over.” Of course, he was talking on a personal level, given that he really didn’t play much hockey from March 8th on til the end of the season on…
Over the next few days, we’re going to be providing a postmortem of the Flyers 2010-11 season. By no means does one article indicate every single thing that caused this year’s early exit. We’ll try to cover all the bases in time — we have plenty of it. Watching Sergei Bobrovsky during Game 4 on…
We continue our annual, player-by-player look at the 2010-11 Philadelphia Flyers. In no particular order, we’ll analyze one player per day (or so) over the next few weeks. Up next, forward and cult favorite Andreas Nodl. Andreas Nodl #15 / Right Wing / Philadelphia Flyers Height: 6-1 Weight: 196 Born: Feb 28, 1987 10/11 Salary:…
Gary Bettman may have denied it, but the Atlanta Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg. It’s all but complete at this point, and with just a few small hurdles to clear, it’s only a matter of time before the move becomes a reality. So how will such a relocation impact the Philadelphia Flyers? Really, it won’t….
On Monday in Voorhees, as the Philadelphia Flyers packed their things and sat through meetings in preparation for a long summer, Peter Laviolette held court with the media for 40 minutes. We weren’t there, but we’ve read transcripts and stories and watched video and we know what Laviolette said and what happened during that time….
Today we begin our annual, player-by-player look at the 2010-11 Philadelphia Flyers. In no particular order, we’ll analyze one player per day over the next few weeks. First up, right winger Kris Versteeg. Kris Versteeg #10 / Right Wing / Philadelphia Flyers Height: 5-10 Weight: 182 Born: May 13, 1986 10/11 Salary: $3.083 million 11/12…
