Last week, NHL Network launched a summertime series counting down the best players in the NHL today. Claude Giroux made the list of top 20 forwards, clocking in at number 17. This week, defensemen were the focus. And hey, what would you know: Shayne Gostisbehere made the list at 18th overall. Gostisbehere is coming off…
For the third year in a row, the Flyers will be keeping their entire farm system in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The team announced today that they’ve renewed their agreement with the ECHL’s Reading Royals, and that it’s a multi-year pact. The Flyers originally affiliated with the Royals back in early June 2014, and that…
Flyers first round pick German Rubtsov left no doubt about his contract status and immediate NHL future in a recent interview with Russian TV station 360 TV. He’s staying in Russia for the next two years. “After the draft, nothing has changed for me,” Rubtsov said. “My main goal is to get into [the KHL],…

And stay away from bears. pic.twitter.com/bPkSsOkwBA — Claude Giroux (@28CGiroux) August 20,…
Generally, Todd McLellan has nothing to do with Shayne Gostisbehere. He was the longtime coach of the San Jose Sharks; now, he’s the latest bench boss entrusted to advance along the Edmonton Oilers’ rebuild. Two teams in the Pacific Division – you can’t get much further from Philadelphia than that. But for a couple of…
The fun thing about international hockey tournaments is it gives us an excuse to watch and cheer for players outside of our own nationalities.

Hockey season is almost here. Today at the Skate Zone in Voorhees, several Flyers veterans are on the ice with a group of rookies getting ready for training camp, which officially opens in a few weeks. And a week from today , 21 prospects will hit the ice for the first organized workouts of the…
A hairline fracture in his wrist is keeping Radko Gudas from playing in the World Cup of Hockey. Fear not, though, because he’s found something else pretty awesome to do with his time today.
