Acquired in the trade that sent Nicklas Grossmann and the contract of Chris Pronger to the Arizona Coyotes, Sam Gagner has produced a season that can only be called disappointing. He’s failed to gain the trust of Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol, and his production (three goals and five assists in 30 games) has been…
Dug up by the Philadelphia scouting department as a soon-to-be 25-year old out of small Bemidji State University, Matt Read has exceeded all reasonable expectations by turning into a useful NHL forward. He has two 20-goal seasons to his credit, and has been a stalwart on the penalty kill since his rookie year. But with…
The NHL trade deadline has been very, very quiet from a Flyers perspective. Last year was the same, too — the Flyers only made two moves, sending Braydon Coburn and Kimmo Timonen to a pair of future Stanley Cup Final teams in exchange for draft picks. We expect much of the same from Hextall at…
Shayne Gostisbehere’s point streak ended at 15 games on Tuesday night in Carolina. It had to end eventually, and overall it was absurdly fun and extremely impressive. He wound up with 18 points in those 15 games, and thanks to Joe Doughtwe can now watch all of those points in about five minutes: Here’s the…
The Flyers continued their East Coast roadtrip with a Saturday night with a tilt against the Toronto Maple Leafs, which ended with Shayne Gostisbehere extending his point streak to 15 games in overtime en route to a 5-4 Flyers victory. Both teams had several key contributors injured, with Sean Couturier, Michael Del Zotto, and most…
So here’s some surely unwelcomed news, which may or may not be unexpected: Flyers center and captain Claude Giroux will miss Saturday night’s game in Toronto with what the team is calling an “upper-body injury”: Flyers GM Ron Hextall announced that center Claude Giroux will not be in the lineup in tonight’s Flyers-Maple Leafs game…
That was a gigantic win for the Philadelphia Flyers last night, and with a Hurricanes loss, a Devils loss and a Penguins loss in the last two nights, things are looking up for the Flyers right now. And just in time for Saturday afternoon’s game against the Arizona Coyotes, it looks like the captain could…
Some good and bad news coming in via Flyers general manager Ron Hextall this Sunday afternoon on the injury front: Injury updates from GM Ron Hextall:-Couturier skated today; is ahead of schedule & day-to-day-Giroux skated today; Possible to play Tues. — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) February 21, 2016 -Weal is on track with a week &…
It appears as though the Philadelphia Flyers are interested in Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin. League source tells me #Flyers “among 12 teams making offer for Drouin, Hextall pushing hard, may not be willing to meet return demanded.” — David Strehle (@DStrehleTFP) February 25, 2016 Strehle is definitely trustworthy, so if he says it there’s probably…
I didn’t really think a Flyers vs. Hurricanes game in late February would be this big of a deal, but here we are: the two Metropolitan Division foes will hit the ice in Raleigh tonight with quite a bit on the line. Here’s where we sit entering the evening: Not only would a Flyers regulation…
