The Detroit Red Wings placed 28-year old defenseman Jakub Kindl on waivers on Saturday morning. With a relatively cheap contract, and only two years remaining on his deal, Kindl represents an intriguing option for a Flyers team fighting for a wild card spot. This is one of those rare opportunities to cash in on a…
Like we’ve been saying all year: Luke Schenn and Vincent Lecavalier were holding back the Flyers, and tonight’s win is proof. Just kidding. (Mostly.) But in their first game after their biggest (and only) trade of the season, the Flyers skated stride-for-stride with a solid Minnesota team, and despite some bad news along the way…
As expected, Claude Giroux was named as the lone Philadelphia Flyers representative to the 2016 NHL All-Star Game on Wednesday. He will suit up for the Metropolitan Division team at the game in Nashville on January 31, and at the Skills Competition the night prior. Here are the full rosters. All teams have at least…
Ron Hextall has done it again. Vincent Lecavalier and Luke Schenn are gone, traded tonight to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a third round pick 23 year old center Jordan Weal. The Flyers have confirmed the trade. Weal is a throw in — he’s played just 10 NHL games, all this season with…
The rumblings started early this morning. ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun reported that Flyers forward Vincent Lecavalier was desperate to get back on the ice, and was willing to make major concessions in order to do so. With Philadelphia unwilling to give him ice time, his best hope for a dignified end to his career was a…
Shayne Gostisbehere skated at the Flyers Skate Zone this morning, which is a weird sentence because that’s what you do at the Skate Zone, obviously. But he didn’t take part in full practice with his teammates, instead just whirling around with assistance coach Ian Laperriere for 20 minutes or so before dipping off. Afterwards, Ghost…
The Flyers pulled a rabbit out of a hat on Wednesday night when they sent Vincent Lecavalier and Luke Schenn to the Los Angeles Kings for Jordan Weal and a third round pick. It’s amazing that Ron Hextall was able to get anything in exchange for Lecavalier’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad contract. Yes,…
On the verge of the 2015-16 season’s halfway point, the Philadelphia Flyers remain in striking distance of a playoff spot. After missing the postseason last year, many league observers referred to the Flyers as a team in a rebuild, but general manager Ron Hextall and first year NHL coach Dave Hakstol have been able to…
The Flyers will host their first-ever You Can Play night on Monday, January 25 when they host the Boston Bruins. The night will benefit the You Can Play Project, an organization that fights for LGBT equality in sports. Tickets for the game are $35 dollars for the upper bowl and $75 for the lower bowl;…
Shayne Gostisbehere will not play on Wednesday night against the Boston Bruins, the Flyers announced after practice today. He’s still considered day-to-day. Ghost came out of last Thursday’s game against the Minnesota Wild with a lower-body injury — thought to be a knee or a groin issue. He missed Saturday afternoon’s game against the New…
