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 Sunday, December 15. Canadian Major Junior (CHL) Scott Laughton (F, Oshawa, OHL):…
The Flyers head back to Philadelphia where they hopefully find a way to play 60 minutes of hockey against the Washington Capitals. For whatever reason, the Capitals have given the Flyers perhaps the most trouble this season. We all remember the 7-0 slugfest that happened the last time these teams were in Philadelphia, and let’s…
There are two open general manager jobs in the NHL presently, and you’d have to imagine that Ron Hextall is a candidate for both. He’s widely seen as one of the top assistant general managers in the NHL today, and because of that is certainly in line to move up to a GM job at…
The Flyers walked into the Wells Fargo Center with a lot to prove tonight. Finding themselves up by three in the third yet again, the heat was on, but solid play and dynamic offense led the Flyers to a well-deserved and much needed victory. The first period didn’t leave any lasting impressions — a lot…
Over the past two and a half years, the two teams that will face each other tonight in the Wells Fargo Center have become about as familiar and intertwined with each other as two teams that only actually played against each other once in that time frame possibly can. The Blue Jackets have been the…

Michael Raffl may have been signed by the Philadelphia Flyers on May 31, 2013, but he did not truly become a widespread topic of conversation until Flyers Insider Anthony San Filippo implied on Twitter that the 24-year old was more than just a darkhorse to make the opening night roster in October. Considering Raffl’s toughest…
I hope Brayden Schenn really is okay. He says he feels lucky that he wasn’t injured more seriously the other night when Tom Wilson buried him into the boards. (Wilson, by the way, has a hearing with the Department of Player Safety this afternoon over the hit.) Here are some facts: 1. Schenn: “I really…
Tom Wilson will not be suspended for his hit on Brayden Schenn the other night. Here’s the explanation from Brendan Shanahan and the NHL’s Department of Player Safety. I appreciate Shanahan’s detailed explanation here. (I mean, damn, he basically explained how a forecheck works.) He says that boarding isn’t applicable because Schenn bears some of…
Tonight, the appropriately dressed Minnesota Wild travel to Philadelphia for the final game before a short Christmas break. After Saturday’s blowout loss to Columbus, we sure have a lot of grievances to air about the Flyers. They’ve pretty much been showing us all season that they’re a solidly mediocre team — always able to get…
