What I’ve learned on Twitter / hockey blogs – you don’t put up 70 points in a year you are not a hockey player. #Goon4Life #4L4L — Tyrell Goulbourne (@Tgillz12) August 9, 2015 We can’t confirm that Tyrell Goulbourne is talking about us here, but … “Flyers waste No. 71 pick on Tyrell Goulbourne” “Chances…

Poll 100 Flyers fans and ask them which out of the team’s “big five” of defensive prospects — Shayne Gostisbehere, Samuel Morin, Robert Hagg, Travis Sanheim, and Ivan Provorov — that they’re most excited about, and I’d guess that four out of those five names would largely dominate the conversation. And, on the surface, it’s…
When the Philadelphia Flyers selected Nicolas Aube-Kubel with the 48th pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, there was reason to be cautiously optimistic about the organization’s newest forward prospect. Despite minimal even strength and power play ice time in the QMJHL, Aube-Kubel still managed to post solid scoring numbers and flash high-end offensive instincts. Aube-Kubel…

A little over a year ago, Travis Sanheim was barely on the radar of even the most knowledgeable Philadelphia Flyers fans. The team was expected to take a forward in the 2014 first round, and Sanheim was a defenseman still trying to carve out a spot for himself among the draft’s top prospects. What a…
At this time not even a year ago, Scott Laughton was, by most accounts, the Flyers‘ top prospect outside of the NHL, and there was simply no debating that he was the team’s best forward prospect. We had him sitting up at No. 3 in our 25 under 25 last summer, only behind two known…
In the long, frustrating year that was the 2014-15 hockey season, we had plenty of disappointments as Flyers fans. But in my eyes, one of the biggest disappointments — at least in terms of my interest in watching bad hockey — was the season-ending injury suffered by Phantoms defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere. Shayne Gostisbehere Position: Defenseman…
Maybe it’s a little crazy that just months after being drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers, defenseman Ivan Provorov has jumped ahead of his older, more experienced counterparts on our ranking of team prospects. Samuel Morin? Provorov’s higher. Travis Sanheim? Higher. Shayne Gostisbehere? Robert Hagg? 3. Ivan Provorov Position: Defenseman Birthdate: January 13, 1997 (18) Acquired…
