The dream is dead. The Philadelphia Flyers will not go 82-0-0 in 2019-20, after dropping the first game of their Western Canadian road trip to the Vancouver Canucks, 3-2 in a shootout. Philly won the shot and shot attempt battle, but were never able to create enough momentum to open the floodgates, as Jacob Markstrom…
The preseason continues on Tuesday night when the Philadelphia Flyers take the home ice at Wells Fargo Center for the first time, hosting the New York Rangers at 7 p.m. Unlike Monday’s split-squad affair between the Flyers and Islanders, with one game televised only locally, Tuesday’s game can be seen anywhere in the United States….
Ossi Vaananen and Glen Metropolit were both picked up off of waivers this morning and are no longer members of the Flyers. Metropolit won’t have to go far, as his new team will meet him at the Wachovia Center tonight when the Flyers face the Montreal Canadiens. Vaananen is now a member of the Vancouver…
Today’s open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers-related news and notes… Some good anecdotes about Claude Giroux in the following stories, as Paul Holmren explains how Jaromir Jagr didn’t know who he was: [CSNPhilly] [Toronto Sun] Kimmo Timonen is awesome. Go remind yourself of that: [SB Nation Philly] Travis says last…
There is so much wrong with this team, we don’t even know where to begin. They get blown out regularly and aren’t really all that fun to watch. They don’t even have a fighting major yet! Listen to Bill and Kelly and Steph and (substitute ginger) Craig complain for an hour about this Groundhog Day…
There’s one near-guarantee for the Philadelphia Flyers in this 2015 NHL draft: If they’re smart, and if they keep the No. 7 overall pick, they’re going to get a damn good prospect in the first round. There’s room for excitement around basically any of the top 10 or 11 picks in this NHL draft, and…
Happy Saturday, folks! Have we dipped into the green beers already? There’s important business to attend to with them, but the Flyers are also playing tonight! So before we get too deep into those beverages, why don’t we get into this game preview. The Flyers square off against the Hurricanes tonight, and are looking to…
We’ve focused a lot on the future. Danny Briere wasn’t afraid of the “R word,” so we’ve wondered what he’s learned up to this point in his career, what his vision is, what modern rebuilds have looked like, along with a number of other fantastic posts that you should definitely continue to patronize. But if…
*Another day closer to training camp, and still no word on Travis Konecny and Ivan Provorov. Great stuff. BUT THERE WILL BE HOCKEY PLAYERS ON THE ICE THIS WEEKEND. It’s rookie camp time baby! [Flyers] *Here’s Meltzer’s look at what will surely be an improved penalty kill. [Flyers] *It sounds like Carter Hart had himself…
What a strange game this one was. The Flyers came out and, per their usual pattern, gave the Rangers a bit of space to work with and some chances, but they were largely able to weather the storm there. The first period lacked a bit of continuity, it felt like, with four power plays dealt…
