*The 25 Under 25 continues with big boy Isaac Ratcliffe, who if we are lucky may end up being a nice little second round steal from last year’s draft. [BSH] *So realistic expectations for Ivan Provorov in his second year? Oh, you know, just like…best defenseman in the league. Keeping it realistic. [CSN Philly] *You’ll…

Before the season, when we were previewing the 2015-16 Flyers campaign, we wrote about the team’s best and worst-case scenarios for the season. As it turns out, we’ve seen that so-called best-case scenario play out right in front of our eyes. Anything else that might take place here is just going to be the cherry…

Two months into the season, Kimmo Timonen says the Flyers are better and more balanced than ever during his time in Philadelphia. “Absolutely. By far.” “Now we’ve been able to maintain our own level for a longer period of time. We’ve had some good stretches before as well, but not this kind of consistency. We…

Sometimes we get email about things we write.

They’ve finished the regular season as the second, first, tenth, thirteenth, and third best team in the entire league over the past five seasons. And that also includes two Stanley Cups. So when Stan Bowman, the General Manager…

The Flyers have been one of the hottest teams in hockey since the start of the new year, but they ran into the team that has been hot since the very start of the season in the Lightning on Saturday afternoon. The high-powered Lightning rallied from a pair of two-goal deficits before downing the Flyers…

The Flyers signed head coach Peter Laviolette to a multi-year contract extension on Wednesday morning. It’ll keep him under contract with the team through the 2014-15 season, but as we all know with head coaches, that doesn’t mean much. Sure, the Flyers will be paying him until then regardless of what happens, but will he…

Throughout the season, we’ll be taking a walk down memory lane whenever the Flyers open their season series against an opponent. We’ll be remembering a game, goal, or highlight Philly created while playing against that particular team. It won’t always be the most notable memory the Orange and Black have against that team, but it’ll…
