Evgeny Medvedev’s career with the Philadelphia Flyers got off to a tumultuous start. A solid start could not prevent the defenseman from losing the faith of coach Dave Hakstol, and the 33-year old Russian found himself scratched for the majority of November. Those days are far behind him now. Medvedev was the hero tonight, breaking…
The Flyers played a tough game against Columbus Saturday night, coming back from a 2-0 third period hole only to fall in a shootout to lose 3-2. The Flyers hoped to build on a recent run of good play, having gone 7-2-1 in their last ten games, and perhaps get a little revenge for a…
Our friends over at Philly Phaithful aren’t stupid. Ghost emoji. Bear emoji. Shirt. Hoodie. Yes. This comes in mens, ladies, and hoodie for now. (I have a Philly Phaithful hoodie with the orange/white hockey lace strings and I can attest that it’s really awesome.) Kids sizes coming later. One note of importance, directly from Dan…

In early November, fans of the Philadelphia Flyers would not have been faulted for writing off the 2015-16 NHL season as a rebuilding year.

The current roster of the Philadelphia Flyers may not be that of a world-beating, Stanley Cup contender. But over the past two seasons, general manager Ron Hextall has restocked the team’s cupboard of prospects, creating a great deal of excitement among the fanbase for the future of the organization. His strong work in rebuilding the…
This is Part 2 of a series on the Philadelphia Flyers’ forwards. Part 1 can be found here. The Philadelphia Flyers, despite their recent stretch of solid play, have struggled to score goals this season. They rank 29th in the NHL in goals scored and goals per game, a surprising placement for a team that…
It’s very difficult to defeat the Los Angeles Kings, runaway leader of the Pacific Division. It’s even tougher when your team plays well in only one period of the game. The Flyers fell behind 2-0 through forty minutes of play, before producing a stellar third period against the Western Conference powerhouse Kings. But they could…
The primary story surrounding the blueline of the Philadelphia Flyers has been the impeding return of Mark Streit, and the roster move that would be necessary in order to fit him under the salary cap ceiling.
