The Flyers announced their 2013 preseason schedule a little earlier than usual, but the schedule itself is much of what we’ve come to expect. They’ll kick off the 2013 year in London, Ont. against the Maple Leafs, will have road games in Toronto, New Jersey and Washington and will host three home games at the…
NEWARK — Paul Holmgren held court with the media here at the 2013 NHL Draft on Sunday, discussing his first two picks and what he thinks of Samuel Morin and Robert Hagg. Oh, and he talked about Vincent Lecavalier too. Here’s the full transcript: Q: Were you surprised at how the first round played out?…
On Monday, we pulled together a series of opinions and scouting reports on the Flyers’ first-round draft pick, Samuel Morin. Today, let’s do the same with their second-round pick, Swedish defenseman Robert Hagg. Pretty similar stuff. Hagg, who turned 18 in February, checks in at 6’2″ and 203 pounds (I’ve seen some slight disagreement on…
Vincent Lecavalier is a member of the Philadelphia Flyers and will be for the next five seasons. You can argue whether it’s necessary given the state of the team, or whether five years and a no-move clause are good things to give a 33-year old forward.

Danny Syvret has been traded by the Flyers approximately 413,000 times. Make it 413,001. The Flyers announced this evening that they’ve trade the Phantoms defenseman to the New York Rangers organization in exchange for tough guy Kris Newbury. Newbury is a goon, plain and simple. He had 127 PIM in 70 games last season with…
NEWARK — The NHL announced a year ago that Philadelphia would host the 2014 NHL Draft. On Sunday at the 2013 event in New Jersey, the league unveiled the logo for next year’s draft. Did you know that the Liberty Bell is in Philadelphia?!
At this point, it’s easier to make fun of Paul Holmgren, the Flyers and their insane roster moves than just about anything in professional sports besides the New York Mets. These jokes are easy, and our instinct whenever Holmgren makes some sort of big move is to sit back and hurl them with reckless abandon….
NEWARK — With the 162nd pick, the Flyers have selected a goaltender who will no doubt fight Steve Mason for the starting gig this season. That’s a joke. They’ve selected Harvard commit Merrick Madsen from Proctor Academy in New Hampshire. Western College Hockey Blog has a great profile of Madsen, a California native: Madsen, standing…
