It’s pretty safe to say that Johan Backlund won’t play in a game for the Philadelphia Flyers this season. The goalie, in his first season of North American hockey, was called up in early December when Ray Emery went to the injured reserve with an abdominal injury.

I’m probably just stating what we already know, but Riley Cote has no worth on the Philadelphia Flyers. It’s really a shame, too, because Riley is truly a great guy.

What is already more than a trend, the Flyers added yet another tough guy to their team. Today, the team traded defensive prospect Michael Ratchuk to the Columbus Blue Jackets for right wing Stefan Legein. Legein was a second round pick (37th overall) in 2007 after back to back 100 PIM seasons in the OHL….

One of the biggest surprises early on in this nascent NHL campaign is the Los Angeles Kings, who have stunned many by racing out to a 13-7-2 start that has them in fourth place in the Western Conference. And while most Flyers fans don’t know (or care) a whole lot about the Kings, there’s a…
According to the Inquirer this morning, Comcast-Spectacor is contemplating a lawsuit against a previously unknown Philadelphia blogger who spread a rumor last week about Scott Hartnell, his wife Lisa, and Jeff Carter. The blogger who spread the rumor, which was quickly rejected by Flyers PR staff, the Hartnell’s, and Carter, is a Temple University senior…
