Ever since the Flyers re-signed Michal Neuvirth to a two-year contract extension the day of the trade deadline back in March, it’s felt like a bit of a long shot that Steve Mason — who will be an unrestricted free agent in 17 days — would be back in orange and black come training camp…
Update: Travis Hamonic has been named the winner of the 2017 NHL Foundation Player Award. Congrats to both Hamonic and Simmonds nonetheless on their excellent work in the community. No Flyers will be nominated for NHL on-ice awards after this season, but the team’s 2016-17 MVP has now been named an NHL award finalist for…
On a night that saw the Philadelphia Flyers add Nolan Patrick to their organization with the No. 2 overall selection, it would have been very easy for general manager Ron Hextall to simply collect his winnings from the table and go to bed. But befitting a draft that saw Las Vegas make its first amateur…

After beating the Wilkes Barre/Scranton Penguins tonight, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms have made the Calder Cup Playoffs. FINAL: The #LVPhantoms clinch a playoff spot with a 2-1 shootout win over the @WBSPenguins!

No, the Stanley Cup Playoffs weren’t cancelled this year. They are ongoing, and the first round series between the Washington Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs has been one of the more entertaining ones so far, what with the Caps barely hanging on after another President’s Trophy season and all. During Game 4 on Wednesday night…
There aren’t many more heartbreaking ways to lose a hockey game than what the Lehigh Valley Phantoms did on Saturday night. Down 0-1 in their best-of-five series with the Hershey Bears after a tough OT loss on Friday in Game 1, the Phantoms blew leads of 1-0, 2-1 and 4-2 en route to a backbreaking,…
It’s looking like the 2018 NHL All-Star Game will be headed to Tampa, with the Lightning hosting the 63rd edition of the game next winter. An official All-Star Game announcement for 2018 would be the final nail in the coffin for the NHL’s participation in the Olympics, which is probably the bigger story here, but…
