The Lehigh Valley Phantoms will open their second season on Saturday, October 10 when they host the Syracuse Crunch at PPL Center in their 2015-16 opener. It’s also the 20th season in the history of the Phantoms franchise, which has called Philadelphia and Glens Falls, N.Y. home in the past. The American Hockey League released…
If Robert Hagg, whom Kurt profiled at No. 9 yesterday morning, happens to be the least heralded of the Flyers‘ high-end defensive prospects, then Samuel Morin’s got to be on the opposite end of that spectrum, at least from public perception. There’s a certain level of hype brought along with being the first upper-echelon defensive…
Maybe it’s a little crazy that just months after being drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers, defenseman Ivan Provorov has jumped ahead of his older, more experienced counterparts on our ranking of team prospects. Samuel Morin? Provorov’s higher. Travis Sanheim? Higher. Shayne Gostisbehere? Robert Hagg? 3. Ivan Provorov Position: Defenseman Birthdate: January 13, 1997 (18) Acquired…

ALLENTOWN — On Monday the Lehigh Valley had its first taste of (fake) NHL hockey as the host of the Flyers preseason opener against the New York Islanders. Allentown was treated to a show from the Flyers ‘A team’ as the squad split, playing in both Brooklyn and Lehigh Valley. That A team didn’t disappoint,…
Interesting news here this afternoon. The Flyers have signed defenseman Philippe Myers to an entry-level contract, the team announced on Monday. Myers was an invitee to Flyers training camp without a contract, and he seemed like a long-shot to be in the team’s plans — even considering that they liked him enough to bring him…
Do I want to fight the Flyers? Of course. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about physically fighting each and every one of the Philadelphia Flyers. The reasons differ, obviously, but the fact remains the same: I would like to challenge them. The real question emerges when I think about whether or…
The NHL’s Puck Personality series is a bunch of videos featuring the NHL torturing their stars (a majority of whom are totally without personalities) with personality questions. Last year, they posted an absolutely hilarious video of NHLers attempting to name the four houses of Hogwarts. Both Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds are featured in the…
The Philadelphia Flyers have their roster set ahead of Thursday night’s season opener, but elsewhere in the organization, things are still up in the air.
