Generally speaking when we write game previews, we include full lineups for each team. That’s a little different on trade deadline day, of course, because we don’t even know who is going to be on the team by the time the puck drops tonight. But the Flyers will host the Calgary Flames at Wells Fargo…
It looks like the Flyers will get Claude Giroux back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against Arizona. They got Sean Couturier back this week. But the luck stops there. The Flyers announced late Friday afternoon that Jake Voracek will not play on Saturday, and that he’s out with a lower-body injury. They say he…

With only one day left until the NHL trade deadline, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Ron Hextall made a final decision on the future of forward Michael Raffl. The 27-year old was in the last year of a two-year, $2.2 million contract, making him a natural candidate for trade if the Flyers had no interest in…
Team North America at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey is weird. It’s a new team at the tournament, and it consists of under-23 players from the United States and Canada. If you’re under that age you can’t play for your actual national team, and instead we get this weird team that, while complicated to…
Team Sweden has to be the favorites at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. I mean, this isn’t the complete roster yet and we haven’t seen the Team North America, the Team Canada or the Team USA rosters yet. But I mean, come on with this: G Henrik Lundqvist, New York RangersG Jacob Markstrom, Vancouver…
