Yet again, the Philadelphia Flyers have some of the easiest travel in the NHL. According to the annual Super Schedule over at On The Forecheck, the Flyers will travel the fifth-least amount of miles in the NHL in 2015-16, just 34,811 in total. By comparison, the San Jose Sharks lead the league and will travel…
The NHLPA announced dates for player arbitration hearings on Monday, and we now know that the Philadelphia Flyers will head to their hearing with defenseman Michael Del Zotto on Tuesday, July 21. At the hearing, both sides will present what they believe is a fair contract for the player. Evidence allowed to be used at…
Michael Del Zotto and the Philadelphia Flyers will not be going to arbitration. The team announced Thursday that they have come to a “multi-year” agreement with their restricted free agent defenseman. The Flyers are petulant children when it comes to actually announcing the important part of the news — how long the contract is and…
The Flyers invited Johnny Gaudreau’s little brother, Matt Gaudreau, to development camp last week, according to a report on NJ.com. And the little Gaudreau, who will continue to follow in the footsteps of his much-more talented older brother when he plays his sophomore season at Boston College this fall, turned the Flyers down. He instead…
Michael Del Zotto signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. It will pay him an average of $3.875 million against the salary cap in each of those years.

Imagine that you’re a businessman like Ray Bartoszek. You’ve been planning, plotting and hoping for years to bring an NHL franchise to the Seattle area. Your first attempt was the relocation of the Phoenix Coyotes, who you tried to buy in 2013 before they ultimately signed a deal to stay in the desert. So after…
The Columbus Blue Jackets posted an awesome six minute video this week, filmed right from their draft table during the first eight picks of the 2015 NHL Draft in Florida. It sheds some insight on the Philadelphia Flyers‘ thinking that night. Of course, the Flyers picked at No. 7 in that draft, taking Ivan Provorov…
This post has been updated. The Flyers are still extremely popular, at least with the suits at NBC/Comcast. They’ll make an extremely ridiculous 18 (!) appearances on NBC or NBC Sports Network in 2015-16, which to my knowledge is the most they’ve appeared on the network maybe in their history. A year ago, they made…
Not a bad look, @MichaelDelZotto. (But we prefer you in orange & black.) #Goon2 pic.twitter.com/DqY13gXRWG — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) July 23, 2015 Goon was an OK movie, I guess. It didn’t really do it for me, personally, but I can appreciate the humor in it. Lots of people did enjoy it, and that seems to…
