In yesterday’s story, we took a look at the drafts and key acquisitions of teams exiting their rebuild. Today, in part two, we look at what kind of future all these teams have and a hypothetical rebuild timeline for the Flyers. It’s easy to get bogged down in the doom and gloom of the Flyers…
Danny Briere understood why he was here. It was obvious. The Flyers fell well below their standard and significant changes were needed. “After the season they had last year,” Briere said, “they’re trying everything possible to turn that around.” This wasn’t about his recent promotion to interim general manager. This was about the first time…
*Another big loss for your boys last night! Eyes on the prize*, friends.(*4th worst in the league). But they really tried. Even Nick Seeler had a pretty greasy goal. John Tortorella’s postgame comments summed it up pretty well: Torts: There haven’t been many nights in this season — this godforsaken season– where I’ve had to…
The Philadelphia Flyers are now two games into the post-Chuck Fletcher era. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), the losses continue to pile up. The Flyers fell to the Vegas Golden Knights at Wells Fargo Center Tuesday night by a score of 5-3, extending their losing streak to four games. They’ve now lost 12 of their last 14…
*So Tuesday night was a pretty good night for the tank, in case you missed it. Not only did the Flyers come through with that loss to the Golden Knights, but the Canadiens won, the Blackhawks somehow beat the Bruins, the Coyotes won, and the BJs and Sharks went to OT. If the next couple…
One of the Philadelphia Flyers’ bright young prospects is crossing the pond to North America. Defenseman Emil Andrae signed an amateur try-out contract with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the team announced Thursday. Defenseman Emil Andrae has joined us for the remainder of the 2022-23 season on a try-out basis. Andrae, 21, just completed his season…
Chuck is out, Danny is in. Steve and Quigz discuss the Philadelphia Flyers’ GM change from Fletcher to Briere, possible candidates for team president, Sean Couturier’s return to skating, and more as we continue marching to the end of this godforsaken season. Make sure to follow us on twitter @Flyperbole and @ryanquigz. Also, follow @BSH_Radio…
*Big news, folks! The Phantoms are trying to get back into the playoff picture this year, they’re putting together a run, and they’re going to be getting a little bit more help. Emil Andrae’s coming over from Sweden and joining them on an amateur tryout. [BSH] *But the organization is also grappling with a big…
Following a rough 1-0 shutout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes last week, Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella wasn’t exactly overjoyed about his team’s capabilities in the offensive zone. “I don’t know what else to tell you. We don’t make enough plays. We haven’t made enough plays. And we probably won’t the rest of the…
The Philadelphia Flyers are not used to a rebuild. Throughout their history, the Flyers organization has always held competitiveness at a premium. Being in the hunt was expected, and missing the playoffs at all was considered a fireable offense for coaches such as Craig Berube, Peter Laviolette, and Ken Hitchcock. However, since 2012-13, the Flyers…
