*Chuck Fletcher seems to have a thing for guys from Minnesota. Is this a problem? [BSH] *On Bobby Brink’s draft experience, and why waiting until day two has lit a fire in him. [NBC Sports Philly] *There are a few promising kids that didn’t make Charlie’s top-20 list, but weren’t far off. These are the…
After last week’s trivia extravaganza, the gang was unsure how to fill a full hour with hockey talk, but the league came through with rumors about our old pal Ron Hextall, Metropolitan rivals continuing to improve, and what ensued was a good conversation about just where the Flyers might fall in the very different looking…
*The Minnesota Wild have parted ways with former general manager Paul Fenton. A surprising but wise move after the damage that’s been done. Why, and what’s next? [The Athletic] *The NHL is coming to Seattle, and we’re looking ahead at the expansion draft from the Flyers’ perspective. An early look at who may be getting…
After (perfectly) answering half of the questions provided by listeners last week, I finally answered the OTHER half of your questions. Despite being two different podcasts, both Q&As have plenty of Philadelphia Flyers’ analysis and absolute nonsense. In this podcast I discuss: The Nikita Gusev trade. What Jacob Trouba’s deal means for Ivan Provorov. Nolan…
*I regret to inform that we have but one (1) Flyers-related link. And this is it. It’s about Travis Konecny and his potential contract. Blame the writers, they’re all on vacation! [NBC Sports Philly] *The dumb Devils went out and acquired another talented player. Could you not, the Devils? [The Hockey News] *In that vein,…
*Call me biased, but Carter content is always the best type of content. In his latest addition to the Flyers Review and Preview series, Charlie turns his attention to Hart. [The Athletic] *Before the Flyers, the city of Philadelphia had the Quakers. We’re taking a look back at their lone season in the NHL. [BSH]…
*We’ve been exploring when we expect to see prospects from each draft class make the jump, and we’re up to the class of 2018. When should we expect Joel Farabee and co.? [BSH] *In non-Flyers but still interesting news, the Colorado Avalanche and Samuel Girard have agreed on a seven year contract extension! [Mile High…
We started talking a few weeks back about the Flyers’ prospects, and when we might expect them to be ready to make the jump to the NHL. We broke down the 2016 draft class (parts one and two), and the 2017 class, and now it’s time to move on to 2018. This is where this…
With all of the young talent the Flyers have brought into their defensive core, it can sometimes be easy to forget and overlook when a young player is disappointing. This is especially evident given the strong two-way play of Travis Sanheim, Shayne Gostisbehere’s potency, and Ivan Provorov’s history as the #1 defenseman. I would say…
It’s prospect talk time over here at Broad Street Hockey, and we’re tacking on to that a recap of the Flyers’ prospects playing at last week’s World Junior Summer Showcase. While not as heavily represented as they were last summer, the Flyers still had four players representing them this time around, and we’re going to…
