In an attempt to completely overshadow the absolute joy that was last night’s Flyers win, Sam Carchidi decided to start conflict on the timeline, and it was almost as exhilarating to watch. It’s no secret to anyone following this team that rumblings about Wayne Simmonds and his future (or lack-thereof) with the Flyers have been…
The Flyers’ roster is finally starting to take shape. We’ve had some great conversations in the comments across this site; I wanted to collect a lot of it in one post and add some analysis and opinion of my own. I’ll start by estimating the available cap space, then take a guess at a roster,…
Today’s open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news and notes… Paul Holmgren gave an interview to Chuck Gormley, and it resulted in a great article: [Courier-Post] First, Travis wrote about what it could mean: [Broad Street Hockey] Then, I wrote about what it could mean: [SB Nation Philly] A profile…

The Flyers and Capitals combined for just 18 even strength scoring chances in a sleepy Sunday afternoon game in Washington. An evenly played game throughout, neither team had a decided advantage at 5v5. On the powerplay, the Capitals had numerous opportunities to do some damage. But given that they had 6 powerplays including a 5v3,…
In their two games to start the 2019-20 season, the Flyers have done a lot of things right on the ice, both small and large. For staters, the new line combinations are looking awfully good together.
