Only roughly 27 players or so have a legitimate chance at making the NHL roster with the Philadelphia Flyers this coming season, but 64 players will look to impress the coaches enough to earn jobs somewhere in the organization, be it in Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley or Reading. The Flyers unveiled the full training camp…
BSH: This is a question from one of our readers, but I have to ask since we talked about you playing– Ron Hextall: … I get it Travis, dumb question coming, you’re gonna blame it on one of your readers… [laughter] [laughter] What’s your relationship with Chris Chelios like these days? I don’t know. I…
The Flyers haven’t hosted the annual rookie game against the Washington Capitals since the 2011 offseason, but it’ll be back in Voorhees this year. The Caps announced plans for their rookie camp this year and confirmed that the game will return to Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees. It will be held at 3 p.m. on…
We’re looking for a qualified, knowledgable hockey writer to cover the Lehigh Valley Phantoms for us this season. We want somebody who knows the Flyers organization and its prospects, knows the American Hockey League and has strong journalism chops. Here’s what a strong candidate will be able to contribute to BSH: Full pre-, during- and…
A full summer before he was set to hit restricted free agency, the Flyers have signed Zac Rinaldo to a two-year contract extension. It’s a slight raise over the $750,000 he earns per season on his current contract, and when it comes to money, it’s not really a concern. At the absolute worst, the Flyers…
It wasn’t too long ago when we lived in a world where the Philadelphia Flyers were absent from an “top prospects” lists, or were at best scantly represented. That’s changing rapidly of late, and it’s reflected in NHL.com’s list of the league’s top 60 prospects, released Thursday. The list is led by Lightning forward Jonathan…
With a few weeks to go before the puck drops on a brand new season, it’s time to get our fantasy leagues in order. This year, without inviting all those participated during the lockout-shortened season of 2012-13 back, we will have a minimum of 20 open slots available on a first-come, first-served basis. As current…
Earlier this week, ESPN’s Craig Custance asked a bunch of NHL players a simple question: if you were building an NHL team, which player would you pick to build that team around? Hockey players are generally pretty humble people. They’re not going to call themselves great. Wayne Gretzky wouldn’t even do that. But there’s a…
@BroadStHockey that’s a terrible idea. He has no offensive skills whatsoever — John R. (@johnnyrockets27) September 12, 2014 I don’t want to pick on John R. here, but this is a common refrain among Flyers fans and we need to talk about it. It’s true that Sean Couturier hasn’t scored much as an NHL player….
Everyone knows Wayne Simmonds and Jakub Voracek are friends. Good friends. Simmonds once said that it looked like Voracek combed his hair with a pork chop. Voracek shot back that he cooked that pork chop for their dinner. It’s a deep Flyers bromance. On Monday, Simmonds was traded to the Nashville Predators and it was…
