The Flyers and Broad Street Hockey are almost on the clock in the 2009 SBN Mock Draft, so it’s time for us to start mulling around the war room and decide on a player who will patrol our blueline for years to come. In all honesty, I was a little surprised that the vote came…
In their own words, here are what Brian Boucher and Ian Laperriere told the media tonight via conference call. I’ve always loved Philly. Being drafted by the Flyers, they were very good to me. Paul Holmgren was very good to me in giving me a chance to come back a couple years ago and play…
Sam Carchidi on how rule changes have “softened” the NHL. Mike Richards was named the NHL’s first star of the week. Wayne Fish of the Bucks Co. Courier Times has more on Richie. Ed Moran tells us the Flyers have to focus on more than just one Washington superstar tonight./ Bill Meltzer’s game preview at…

UPDATE 7/31, 1:42 AM – Tollefsen will make $600,000 this upcoming season. It’s a one year contract. The Philadelphia Flyers have signed free agent defenseman Ole-Kristian Tollefsen to a one-year contract.

Bob Ford, a respectable Inquirer columnist, talks about Marty Biron keeping up his recent play. There’s also some interesting talk at the end of the article, including a quote from Marty, about the Continental plane crash in Buffalo last week. Biron played in Buffalo for 11 seasons, and his wife has relatives that live in…
Interesting conversation with a source out of Philly that the Penguins, who were active Thursday acquring Chris Kunitz and a prospect for defenseman Ryan Whitney, are trying to pry forward Scottie Upshall from the Flyers, who are trying to free up space to secure their blue line. They would love to deal Danny Briere, but…
AP photo by Gregory Smith via cache.daylife.com Martin Biron’s days with the Philadelphia Flyers may be numbered. His days as the club’s starting goaltender appear to be over. Biron, whose contract (at $3.5 million per season) expires at season’s end, had lost four straight games before starting Saturday against Boston at the TD Banknorth Garden…
There are 11 games in the NHL tonight. Six of them will impact the Eastern Conference playoff picture, so let’s take a look. 7:00 PM – Chicago at #2 New Jersey: This one is on NHL Network if you’ve got it. The story will be Martin Brodeur going for the all-time wins record tonight, but…
So here it is: J-Bo to Philadelphia for Daniel Briere. It’s win-win, I tells ya. Florida is ranked 17th in the NHL in goals-for and Briere gives them a No. 1 center (Nathan Horton has never scored more than 62 points in a season – that’s not No. 1 center production). On the defensive side,…
