They managed to slip the news in earlier this afternoon while the rest of the NHL was eating itself alive, but the Philadelphia Flyers announced their development camp roster on Wednesday afternoon and confirmed that the events will take place between July 7 and 12. The camp lineup consists of almost everyone in the Flyers’…
Update: Claude Giroux is expected to fully recover in 5-6 weeks after undergoing surgery on his right hand on Thursday. It’s not a wrist injury as originally reported. Here’s a full statement from the Flyers: “Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux had successful surgery this afternoon on his right index finger performed by Dr. Katherine Boyd…
At 3 PM Eastern today, rosters have to be set at 23 players. The Flyers, with Ian Laperriere and Michael Leighton still on the roster, sit with 25 players. The reports from camp today say that Lappy has been placed on the normal injured reserve, which leaves his cap hit in play but takes him…
They say that eight is great. The Philadelphia Flyers have now won eight-straight games and are red hot! Carter Hart was outstanding once again, making 41 saves on 42 shots. Sean Couturier and Jake Voracek paced the Orange and Black on offense. The win gave the Flyers their 2000th victory in franchise history, making them…

We realize that there are some other happenings going on today in the hockey world, but amidst all of the questioning on whether Ron Hextall will look to add to his team, his team has a game tonight, and it’s possible that it ends the evening on top of the Metropolitan Division. What a world….

But in the decisive game 6, it was even more evident as the Penguins took the Flyers best punches, but skated away…
Another day, another Phantoms recall to give a season review.
