Everyone knows Chris Pronger is never going to play again, so the Flyers have been, and will continue to rely on LTIR to get the cap relief they need to replace him. However, many fans mistakenly think LTIR just makes the cap hit disappear; or at worst, that it allows the team to exceed the…
Bobby Robins was the chief offender on this hit, which was well behind the play during the second period tonight. (Seriously, you can’t even see the puck in the GIF.) He and Craig Cunningham sandwiched Zac Rinaldo. It was a charge, a late hit and from behind, which is some sort of trifecta that you…
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what’s going wrong here: The puck and the puck carrier are in the corner. The Bruins wind up bunched up in that corner, but who cares? You can’t score a goal from behind the goal. Instead, the Flyers follow the B’s into the corner, forgetting Reilly…
I suppose the plus side of opening the season with back-to-back games is that if you lose the first one, you don’t have to wait long to get the nasty taste out of your mouth. That’s what the Flyers face tonight as they return home to Wells Fargo Center for their first home game of…
A sometimes-frequent look back at how the Philadelphia Flyers have fared on this day, recalling some of the more memorable moments, achievements, and events that shaped the organization throughout the club’s storied history. They say it’s tough to not go on repeating history, but there is nothing wrong with keeping the memories of great occasions…
Before the puck even dropped for the Philadelphia Flyers‘ home opener, the team received a gut punch. Braydon Coburn, expected to essentially serve as the team’s top defenseman in the absence of Kimmo Timonen, would not only be out for the game with a lower-body injury, but was in danger of missing extended time. On…

This isn’t good. Whatever your feelings on Braydon Coburn might be, he is one of the Flyers two best defenseman. He’s now out of the Flyers lineup with a lower-body injury — exactly what that injury might be is unknown — and it looks like it could be serious, according to what Ron Hextall said…
This still doesn’t make much sense to us, but well, here it is: Chris Pronger is an employee of the NHL’s Department of Player Safety. Reportedly … but Bob McKenzie is rarely wrong. It’s official: Chris Pronger has been hired to work for @NHLPlayerSafety. — Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) October 9, 2014 This means one of…
