It isn’t the move we expected to see (and it won’t be the last) but the Philadelphia Flyers have made a trade before the NHL trade deadline. According to The Athletic’s Pierre Lebrun, the Flyers are acquiring winger Brendan Lemieux and a 2024 fifth-round pick from the Los Angeles Kings for Zack MacEwen. And Flyers…
The Philadelphia Flyers hired Chuck Fletcher as their next general manager in December of 2018 after Ron Hextall’s patient plan turned out to be a little too patient. Fletcher had made some big swings with the Minnesota Wild from 2009 to 2018 and the organization thought he’d be the right guy. Unfortunately, three-and-a-half years later,…
The NHL trade deadline has officially passed, and now the Philadelphia Flyers fan base is demanding answers. Flyers general manager Chuck Fletcher had a deal involving impending free agent James van Riemsdyk fall through with minutes to spare before the deadline. Van Riemsdyk was one of the top forwards available at the trade deadline, and…
Another trade deadline and another round of crushing disappointment from Chuck Fletcher and the Philadelphia Flyers. Steve and BSH crew have a good old fashioned airing of grievances as Chuck did not have the fire sale we all wanted at the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline. Make sure to follow us on twitter @Flyperbole and @BSH_Radio….
*Your boys played the Detroit Red Wings last night. And they won! If you look at their upcoming schedule, this might have been their last one for a bit. But who knows, these idiots will probably go on a winning streak. Anyhoo, RECAP! *Did everyone have fun on Deadline Day? Did everyone enjoy that? “That”…
The Philadelphia Flyers, inexplicably, did not do much at the NHL trade deadline. Veteran winger James van Riemsdyk, who reportedly was nearly traded to the Detroit Red Wings on Friday, was in the lineup once again for the Flyers’ Sunday evening tilt against, hilariously, the Red Wings. You just can’t help but laugh. But while…
The trade deadline is a thing of the past, the Flyers are back, and things are still looking, well, largely the same around here. The Flyers played their first game since the deadline last night, picking up a tidy enough 3-1 win over the Red Wings, while looking largely neither better nor worse than they…
Does anyone remember when the Flyers beat the Lightning—in Tampa—earlier this year? That wasn’t a mirage, right? Well, here’s another opportunity to do the same. The Lightning’s playoff position remains safe (barring an insane run by the Ottawa Senators which, hey, who knows, though that 5-0 loss to Chicago last night’s a bad look), and…

*The NHL scheduling gods have, blissfully, given up until Thursday, when the Flyers will take on the Carolina Hurricanes in Carolina. With your old pal Shayne Gostisbehere. Should be interesting to see how the Flyers match up with the best in the East. Anyhoo, in the meantime, let’s dig a little into that win over…
