When the sun rose this morning, the expectation was largely that the Flyers would most likely wait a bit longer to pare their training camp roster down from the 54 names it entered the day with. But after this morning’s practice — complete with lines that, at the time, looked like they would be used…
A win! We’ve been harping on the fact that it’s just preseason and it doesn’t really matter, but it was really nice to see the Flyers finally pick up a win after struggling in their first three games. Again coming in with the superior roster, the Flyers really ran with it. After a bit of…
Three stars 1. Carsen Twarynski Although Twarynski is most likely a lock for the Phantoms this year, with little shot to make the Flyers, he was buzzing in this one. If the coaching staff and front office are going to be hellbent on having a “physical, gritty presence” in the bottom six, Twarynski fits that…
The homestand is over, folks, and the Flyers are kicking off their little road trip to close out the preseason tonight in Boston. We saw the Bruins just this past Thursday and let’s just say this one didn’t go very well. Despite having the superior roster on paper, the Flyers got walloped, so badly so…
The Philadelphia Flyers looked pretty impressive in their first preseason win of the year on Saturday in a 4-1 decision over the New York Rangers. We know the team overall played well and the Blueshirts didn’t have much of an answer, but where did the Orange and Black gain their advantage in play? What matchups…
Throughout the season, we’ll be taking a walk down memory lane whenever the Flyers open their season series against an opponent. We’ll be remembering a game, goal, or highlight Philly created while playing against that particular team. It won’t always be the most notable memory the Orange and Black have against that team, but it’ll…
Jake DeBrusk scored 2:35 into overtime and the Bruins skated away with a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Monday night from Boston. The Flyers have just one more NHL preseason tune-up before an international matchup ahead of their season opener from Prague against the Blackhawks. Three stars 1. Travis Konecny JVR finds Konecny for…
It was revealed today by the Flyers that forward prospect Morgan Frost would be out for the next five to seven days, effectively putting him out of the Flyers last two preseason games in North America. The Flyers play tonight in Boston and in New York on Thursday, before playing their final warm-up in Switzerland…
I don’t think that you need me to tell you that the Philadelphia Flyers are a storied NHL franchise. One can look from Gary Dornhoefer’s overtime goal in 1973 and the Broad Street Bullies era, to Eric Lindros’ dominance in the 90’s, all the way up to today with stars such as Claude Giroux and…
Despite the loss, there were a good number of things to like in this game. Forwards played well, defense was stifling for the most part, but in “Flyera” fashion it ends in a loss. Let’s start with the good! All statistics courtesy of Natural Stat Trick The Metrics 5v5 Corsi-For: 51 CF, 61.45 CF%, 62.03…
