Eleven games into the 2013-2014 season the Flyers found themselves having already fired their head coach and sat at a a record of 3-8. They had also only scored 20 goals as Claude Giroux and the entire offense couldn’t seem to find the back of the net. The Flyers decided to try to add some…
It’s no secret that Vincent Lecavalier’s time with the Flyers has not gone as planned so far. He has struggled quite mightily, and was recently demoted to the fourth line where he returned to his natural center position. The good news is that in the two games since his demotion, he was played quite well….
The Flyers really could have used a win tonight, especially considering the Blue Jackets are one of the easier opponents they will face down the stretch. Unfortunately, things just didn’t pan out the way we would have liked. There’s really only one word to describe how the Flyers started off the game: sloppy. They certainly…
So as we discussed yesterday, THE SKY IS FALLING as the Flyers‘ three straight losses and two straight shutouts against show that they are doomed to fall out of the playoffs.

We’re doomed! A three game winning streak? We’re elite! Breathe, everybody. The Flyers ended their dreaded “12…
The Philadelphia Flyers were back home after a thrilling win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stadium Series with a tilt against the Buffalo Sabres. The Orange and Black were playing their first game without Wayne Simmonds in what seems like an eternity, but they would not disappoint. Newcomer Ryan Hartman made his presence early,…
Tonight’s game was billed as either a “must win” or a “should win,” mainly because of the implications for what it meant going forward. And while we all kind of expected the Flyers to emerge victorious, it was nice to see them do it in such a dominant fashion. The Flyers definitely played the first…
