Jakub Voracek and the Make-A-Wish Foundation are teaming up this weekend to grant the wish of 11-year-old Tony Campisi of Mechanicsburg, Pa. Campisi has a brain tumor, and his wish was simply to sit in a suite at a Flyers game. Jake and the team are going well above and beyond that, however. Via the…
32-year-old defenseman Nick Schultz will be a Philadelphia Flyer for several more years. How many years? How much money is he getting paid per year? No idea! The Flyers merely announced his extension Wednesday afternoon as a “multi-year” contract extension, so details are a little scarce. Sportsnet reports that the deal is a two-year deal…
This one was an eye-opener. Over the past few weeks, the Philadelphia Flyers have been able to motivate themselves with the dream that a playoff berth was still attainable, despite facing overwhelming odds and a pretty massive deficit in the standings. And it’s not like you can fault the players – they obviously want to…
We all have distinct memories of guys like John LeClair and Eric Lindros, who were both inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame earlier this season. They each scored bundles of goals for the Philadelphia Flyers, were key pieces of memorable plays, and in LIndros’ case, delivered dozens of bone-crunching hits that stick out in…
After losing the last two games in embarrassing fashion and a back-to-back set of matinee games the Flyers welcomed former head coach Peter Laviolette and the Nashville Predators to the Wells Fargo Center. The Predators were coming off of a loss on Thursday night to the Islanders and hadn’t lost back-to-back games all year. With…
The 2014-15 Philadelphia Flyers – the team that simply refuses to die. After losing this week to the Columbus Blue Jackets in regulation and the league-worst Buffalo Sabres in a shootout, it appeared that the Flyers’ faint playoff hopes would be dashed by the end of the weekend. They were facing a dominant Nashville Predators…
Wayne Simmonds has emerged as a fan favorite through his hard-hitting, high-flying style of play. Not only that, he has become one of the league’s best on the man advantage. Simmonds has scored 25 or more goals in each of his full seasons here, and is well on his way to surpassing that mark this…
Eric Lindros has sued former NHL referee Paul Stewart — who since retiring from the game in the early 2000s has been a columnist for Huffington Post — claiming that Stewart damaged his reputation with a column written in 2014. The column in question can be read here. In it, Stewart tells a story from…
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Andrej Sekera was traded to the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night, and the haul for him was pretty impressive. Sekera will be an unrestricted free agent in July, so there’s always the chance that this is just a rental for the Kings, who despite winning eight straight games are only two…
The Flyers entered Tuesday night within four points of the Boston Bruins in the race for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference, and hey, good news! Even though the Flyers dropped an ugly one to the Carolina Hurricanes, the Boston Bruins also fell to the Vancouver Canucks, meaning that the gap still…
