Most of the great work the Flyers do around the area goes unnoticed by the local media, us included. But sometimes the cameras are rolling and we can get a glimpse into what they do nearly every day around the community. Here’s one example. Bob Kelly showed up at the birthday party of 104-year-old Helen…
The Flyers roster will be a lot more clear as training camp progresses as players are sent down to the Phantoms, but given their offseason salary cap situation, money might have an impact on who makes the team once camp breaks, and who does not. And for one highly-touted prospect on defense, his salary might…
Eric Lindros, John LeClair and Eric Desjardins probably deserved to win the Stanley Cup together. They teamed up to make the Philadelphia Flyers of the mid-to-late 1990s some of the best teams in hockey, and this coming 2014-15 season their names will be lifted to the rafters at the Wells Fargo Center. Lindros and LeClair…

Adam Hall was a solid fourth-line center on the Flyers for the last year (plus 10 games the year prior), but he won’t be back next year. That was probably a given since he hadn’t been signed yet and it’s now August, but a report over the weekend indicate that Hall will play in Switzerland…
The Flyers are treating Kimmo Timonen’s blood clots as a “long-term” issue, which is scary news for No. 44’s NHL career. The 39 year old was preparing for what we all believed would be his last NHL season, and this news of his blood clots casts serious doubts on whether or not he’ll play this…
Well this is awful news. Kimmo Timonen has blood clots in his right leg and lungs. “His return to play is yet to be determined.” Please get well, Kimmo. — Broad Street Hockey (@BroadStHockey) August 5, 2014 The Flyers announced this unfortunate development with defenseman Kimmo Timonen this afternoon, saying that the blood clots are…
The Flyers have signed defenseman Michael Del Zotto to a one-year contract worth $1.3 million, the team announced late Tuesday afternoon. Contact terms via TSN. We discussed the potential of signing Del Zotto in a post just a few hours ago, and here’s basically what we settled on: MDZ had a rough year last season…
Note: Our very own Eric T., who has written posts similar to this one regarding Flyers zone entries in each of the past two offseasons, began writing up this information for the 2013-14 season earlier this summer. However, due to his new (incredibly exciting) obligations for the upcoming season, he will unfortunately not be able…
On Monday, we did a re-introduction to the concept of zone entries, and laid out the type of information we’re learning about the 2013-14 Flyers from this data on zone entries. Today, we’ll start breaking into that information by looking at some of the base-level numbers, with two goals in mind: figuring out which players…
