A few weeks ago, back while the Flyers were still on the Olympic break, we asked who the team’s most valuable player (MVP) was up through that point in the season. We discussed the point in a fair amount of detail, but we all pretty much agreed that the answer was center Claude Giroux. More…
The NHL draft is finally upon us! After weeks (or more) of poring through scouting reports, watching film, and trying to muster up strong opinions about 17- and 18-year old hockey players, it’s finally time for possibly theibly the biggest night of the hockey calendar as the first 31 picks of the draft will be…
For months, we’ve been operating under the assumption that Andreas Lilja will be the Flyers‘ number 6 (or at least number 7) defenseman due to his contract. Turns out, that is almost certainly wrong. Thanks to Chris Pronger, we’re all familiar with the idea that players aged 35 or older have different rules when signing…

St. John’s, Newfoundland might not have an AHL team next season, and that’s a big bummer for St. John’s. But to be frank, it’s a huge gain for the rest of the American Hockey League, because getting to St. John’s is just insane. The Lehigh Valley Phantoms are making the trek for a weekend series…
The Flyers’ past three games have all been decided by a shootout. As one might have guessed, the Flyers have had more games decided by the shootout than any other team in the NHL this season (both the Flyers and Florida Panthers have had six shootout results so far). For perspective, the Flyers only partook…

Just a few quotes to think about while waiting for Travis to give a full recap – if one is even necessary. As is typical after a demoralizing loss, players get asked a variety of questions. Here are just a few of them with one players’ answers: On where the team is a quarter of…
People have been making jokes all week about how the Philadelphia Flyers could just go and dump salary on the Arizona Coyotes, since that team needs to reach the salary cap floor in a desperate way.
