Welcome back to another summer of NHL draft coverage, folks! This years’ draft will be an exciting time for Flyers fans, as they hold a fairly high pick that can potentially change the shape of the franchise. With that said, I wanted to do something a bit different this year compared to last years’ coverage….
This doesn’t really have to do with the firing of Peter Laviolette, but it was part of the dumpster fire that was the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday, so we should talk about it. From TSN’s Darren Dreger, via Bruce Arthur of the National Post: So @darrendreger just told us on TSN Radio that a Philly…
*Take off your earcuffs ya fuckin’ nerds, Travis Konecny finally has a contract! [BSH] *And just in time for the first preseason game! Which the Flyers lost, but there was a lot of good stuff there. You know you missed this… RECAP! *We got our first good look at Kevin Hayes last night and folks,…
If there is one prospect in the Philadelphia Flyers’ pipeline that needs to have a bounce-back 2018-19 season, that prospect may be Felix Sandstrom. The selection of the 2015 3rd-round pick marked the beginning of general manager Ron Hextall’s foray into rebuilding the franchise’s goaltender depth, and Sandstrom has since been very impressive at times….

While the Flyers may have skipped step one (or maybe not, we don’t really know for certain) in the Simon Gagne trade mess, they’ve officially…
*Your boys played the Detroit Red Wings last night. And they won! If you look at their upcoming schedule, this might have been their last one for a bit. But who knows, these idiots will probably go on a winning streak. Anyhoo, RECAP! *Did everyone have fun on Deadline Day? Did everyone enjoy that? “That”…
The Black Friday game hasn’t always been the kindest to the Flyers, but this year saw a very nice reversal, as the Red Wings came to town and the Flyers pretty neatly dispatched of them. It’s not too often that you get to see your team put up six goals in one evening, and it…
Simon Gagne has seen a few set backs lately. He was hoping to skate last Friday with hopes of playing in Wednesday’s Game 3, but that never came to fruition. Now, he’s hoping to skate this upcoming Friday, a full two weeks after his surgery and 16 days after suffering the injury. Here’s what CSN…
