The Flyers announced today they’ve signed 2012 draft pick Anthony Stolarz and undrafted OHL winger Brandon Alderson to entry-level contracts. Both begin at the start of the 2013-14 season. Stolarz was selected with the 45th overall pick in the second round at the draft last summer. He started the year with the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks, where…
Third period thread here. Flyers up 2-1.
You know, we’ve been pretty spoiled. Sure, the Flyers haven’t won a Stanley Cup since 1975, but how many teams out there can count on their hands the number of years in their history they’ve missed the playoffs? The Toronto Maple Leafs, for example, have missed the playoffs for seven consecutive years. The Flyers have…
So this is all kinda weird. We’ve written eulogies for this team, what, five different times this year already? Including maybe three times in the last month alone? You’d think that would keep us from still looking at the possibilities of playoff hockey, because we’ve been burned so many times already…yet when you check the…
Over the weekend, Comcast SportsNet reported that the Flyers are interested in San Jose defenseman Dan Boyle. There are certainly questions: Would the Sharks move him? Would he be a good fit? Is he worth the $6.6 million cap hit he comes with? Are the Flyers just driving up the price for the New York…
The Flyers are undefeated this season with Simon Gagne in the lineup. Best trade ever, Homer. Gagne had a goal, five shot attempts, (four of which were on goal) in 16 minutes of ice time as the Flyers rolled all over the Capitals, 4-1. Even the one goal Washington scored, though, was late in the…
If you couldn’t tell from the tone of my preview of today’s game, I entered this game with a fairly high sense of skepticism. The Flyers, while only four points back of a playoff spot, have given us glimpses of optimism at points this season, but for the most part it’s been sandwiched between multiple-game…
* TRADE DEADLINE DAY! Lots of things are probably going to happen today between now and 3:00 p.m. Eastern time, so make sure to check the SBNation.com NHL hub for constant updates from Travis and the rest of the SBN folk on who’s going where around the league. And if it’s just the Flyers you’re…
Tonight’s game against the New York Rangers marks the midway point of this abbreviated 2013 NHL season for the Philadelphia Flyers, and amazingly, they’ll shoot for their first win streak of the season when they take the ice at Madison Square Garden this evening. New York Rangers (10-8-2, 22) at Philadelphia Flyers (11-11-1, 23)7:30 p.m….
It’s safe to say we’re not all that confident in the Flyers‘ ability to qualify for the postseason this year, and their chances are all the way down at just 5.4 percent according to Sports Club Stats. Only Colorado, Buffalo and Florida have worse odds to make the playoffs, but hey, we might as well…
