It’s not for a lack of trying, but Jakub Voracek doesn’t have a goal yet this season. He has the fifth-most shots on goal of anybody in hockey, but no goals. That’s enough to let Dave Hakstol try something new. The Flyers top line will be different on Friday night in Buffalo, with Voracek taking…
Despite a fourth straight loss last night, there were some positives to be taken from the Flyers’ 4-1 defeat to the Vancouver Canucks.

It seems to be getting late early for the Flyers this season. In part because they’re bad and everything seems hopeless, but also because they’re on the already west coast and there’s a time difference! More specifically, the Flyers are on the Canadian west coast! Yes! Canada has a west coast, too! It also has…
Through the first two weeks of the season, Evgeny Medvedev exceeded the expectations of most Philadelphia Flyers fans, even after a promising preseason.
