Update: Vegas is good at this. Andy Reid was fired by the Eagles on December 31. Doug Collins and the 76ers parted ways on April 11. Charlie Manuel was fired by the Phillies on August 16. If the Vegas bookmakers are correct, we’re going to go four-for-four on fired coaches this year. According to oddsmaker…
1. What should the Flyers expect out of their goaltenders? <!– TIPS: 1. Replace with your youtube or vimeo embed code. 2. IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove ‘width’ and ‘height’ attributes from embed code. 3. Remove caption if you’d like 4. This is a floated element, so place before the paragraph you’d like it to…
So the wait wasn’t quite as long as it was last summer, but it certainly didn’t feel short either. Finally, it’s over, and the Flyers will be back on the ice tonight for meaningful hockey when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first game of the 2013-14 NHL season. God, it’s nice to…
The knock against Peter Laviolette’s Flyers has always been their ability to play a 60 minute game. They can’t sustain it throughout an entire game — for whatever reason. They can show stretches of greatness, but they don’t keep it going for long enough to make a real difference, a consistent difference. That’s what’ll be…
With a few prospects here and there within the Flyers’ organization worth watching, we’re going to try and keep you all updated every once in a while on how their seasons have been going. All stats in this post up to date through Tuesday, October 8. Canadian Major Junior (CHL) Scott Laughton (F, Oshawa, OHL):…
The Anaheim Ducks allowed six goals on opening night to the Colorado Avalanche, so naturally they’re thinking about adding a defenseman or 12. Luckily, the Flyers have a defenseman or 12! Dreger on TSN: #Ducks are looking for a defenseman. #Leafs, #Penguins, #Flyers involved. Anaheim may part with young forward for D help. — Todd…
On Wednesday, the Flyers opened up their season with a close home loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Today, in their second game of the year, they’ll face … a team that opened up its season with a close home loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, just a day before the Flyers did. Philadelphia Flyers…
Scott Laughton is on his way back to junior hockey. The Flyers returned him to the OHL’s Oshawa Generals this morning, one day after he was a healthy scratch in the season opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The team announced the move this morning. The move makes plenty of sense: If Peter Laviolette isn’t…

Hal Gill will be on the Flyers for the duration of the 2013-14 season, signed today to a one-year, $700,000 contract, the team announced. He’s the eighth defenseman on the roster and is a clear outcast on a team that’s now overloaded with defensemen, leading us to believe that a trade or some kind of…
