Dave Hakstol has been with the Flyers only since May, and he’s already said that his impact in the team’s draft selection process was fairly minimal. And as we discussed yesterday with Felix Sandstrom, Ron Hextall made it clear that he wanted to restock the Flyers’ cabinet of goaltending prospects in the 2015 draft. So…
Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. #1: Gibson the primary reason for the loss Whenever the Flyers suffer a defeat, it’s easy for fans to fall into the blame game. And last night is no different — if you so chose, you could blame…
The Flyers are celebrating their 50th anniversary today, and with it announced a number of ways they’ll recognize the big year in 2017. For starters, they released their 50th anniversary logo — just as the Blues and Penguins, two teams also celebrating the big day today, did earlier in the afternoon. They also gave a…
The Flyers were absolutely dominant throughout the first period of this game, outchancing the Senators 9-1 and taking a 4-0 lead thanks to the Senators taking multiple penalties where the Flyers generated five chances on the powerplay. It is worth noting here that Matt Read’s individual effort goal doesn’t qualify as a scoring chance as…
It’s typically pretty hard to jump back into the playoffs after the Flyers have been eliminated, but this year is a bit different. We might as well still have a team in the race, as the Los Angeles Kings are truly indeed Flyers West. If you’re behind the 8-ball on this, let’s take a look…
The Flyers‘ sixth-round pick, Radel Fazleev, comes from the same junior team as their first-round pick, Travis Sanheim. Last year was Fazleev’s first year with the Calgary Hitmen, the year after he was selected in the first round of the KHL Draft. That’s right — the Flyers went for a Russian prospect in the draft….
WASHINGTON — 7 goals one game, none the next. Rob Zepp deserved much better, and really, the Flyers did too in this 1-0 loss at the hands of the Washington Capitals tonight. After an ugly first 10 or 15 minutes, the Flyers played a pretty strong game against the hottest team in the National Hockey…
The gains from a solid December felt like a distant memory after the Philadelphia Flyers traveled west to California and dropped three straight after Christmas. But a strong performance against a contending Montreal Canadiens squad could be just what they needed to erase the effects of their disappointing trek. Sean Couturier, Brayden Schenn and Shayne…
If you’re an out-of-market sports fan, like so many of us are, you know the dilemma well. You want to watch the Flyers (or the Eagles or the Phillies or any other team), but unless the game is on national television, you’re kind of stuck. You can either fork over your $150 or $200 to…
Saturday’s game in Pittsburgh actually might be sort of awkward. We all know it’s a playoff preview between the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins, and on the heels of last weekend’s game between the two teams, we’d expect the energy level to be as high as the hatred level. But at the same time, the…
