Woah woah, back to back days with hockey? And another game tomorrow? Oh it’s a beautiful sight! What wasn’t so beautiful was the actual game yesterday. The Flyers returned in…more or less typical Flyers fashion, a 3-0 loss at the hands of the New York Islanders. The orange and black return home to the Wells…
Detroit Red Wings (1-1-0) at Philadelphia Flyers (1-1-0) 7 p.m. tonight at John Labatt Centre in London, Ontario, Canada Catch the action on PhiladelphiaFlyers.com — no TV coverage [Game Notes PDF] – [Detroit Perspective] Bare bones game thread tonight.

A good number of young, impact players is an absolute necessity in the NHL. It’s a necessity borne out of the salary cap era, and teams that can draft well and consistently add quality talent on entry-level contracts have a big leg up on teams that have historically relied on expensive old talent through free…
Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. There was very little to criticize about the Flyers‘ performance yesterday against the New York Islanders. From the opening puck drop, Philadelphia was relentless in all three zones – patient in the offensive zone, stifling in the…
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new arena in Allentown was held Thursday, two weeks after the team announced that they’ll be called the Lehigh Valley Phantoms after that new arena opens in the fall of 2014. On hand for the ceremony were the dignitaries you see above: Phantoms co-owners Rob and Jim Brooks, Pennsylvania state…
While the 2016 training camp will hopefully be long remembered by fans of the Philadelphia Flyers as the moment when future stars Ivan Provorov and Travis Konecny proved they were ready for the NHL, the camp will likely not be a fond memory for general manager Ron Hextall. He surely knew that this year’s camp…
2015 has been a good year for the Phantoms (so far). Lehigh Valley is on a 4-0 run in the New Year — all on the road — which, for the Phantoms is a huge step from the 4-10-2 road record they held in 2014. While the Phantoms (18-12-4-1) have been hot on the road…
Unlike other prospects on our 25 Under 25 list so far, forward Mike Vecchione has seen NHL action with the Flyers. He saw action in two late-season games with the orange and black this past season. Vecchione finished up his fourth and final season with the Union Flying Dutchmen this past March, and on March…
The Flyers could have clinched a playoff spot with a win and a loss from the Panthers on Tuesday night, but thanks to a third period rally that fell just short they’d have to wait for another night. New York scored three second period goals to take a commanding 4-1 lead into the third before…
Training camp is winding down and the kids are still competing. Morin, Hagg, Sanheim, Patrick, and Lindblom are still here and fighting to push veterans out. The power play and penalty kill are also starting to take shape and roles are coming into focus with only two preseason games remaining. You can listen below, but…
