Carey Price won the Ted Lindsay Award earlier. He’ll win the Hart Trophy later. So I guess the Vezina Trophy is the main course? Price is the winner of the award for 2015, handed out annually to the NHL’s best goalie. The NHL’s 30 general manager vote on the trophy. Price, Devan Dubnyk of the…

Somewhat lost in the Saturday post-draft pandemonium of the Flyers getting rid of Nicklas Grossmann and Chris Pronger’s contract was the acquisition of forward Sam Gagner. Gagner, a former sixth overall pick of the Edmonton Oilers who turns 26 this summer, spent seven years with Edmonton before being dealt twice last summer and ending up…

I used the opportunity to mentally prepare for the worst — that my all time favorite Flyer Zac Rinaldo would not be suiting up in…

The Philadelphia Flyers will honor three former greats during the 2015-16 season, which we learned Tuesday with the announcement of the team’s promotional schedule for the year.
