Update: Morin’s been sent back to junior. TSN’s Bob McKenzie reports tonight that the Flyers are trying to move a defenseman in an attempt to get Samuel Morin on the opening night roster. Here’s the video of that report. We’ve transcribed the pertinent section below. The Philadelphia Flyers are also trying to move a defenseman….
Andrej Meszároš finished his first season as a Flyer with 8 goals and 32 points in 81 games and was honored with the Barry Ashbee Trophy as the team’s most outstanding defenseman. Meszároš admits it was a good season for him. “It was one of my better seasons. Perhaps the best yet.” “I had good…
Claude Giroux hasn’t looked right lately. Maybe it’s just a result of the entire offense going through a sluggish patch, but watching him lately, I’m convinced that it’s something more. He just doesn’t have that same flair to his game. He’s not as flashy. Most games lately, he’s been absolutely invisible, and that’s about as…
We’re back and we’ve got more grades for more forwards! We’re continuing down the roster—alphabetically, as we said, and now it’s time for the Fs through Ms. It’s not as neat as the ABCs, but it doesn’t always work out as neatly as we want, you know? Anyway, let’s get into the grades. Byron Froese…
Taylor Leier had seemingly been in the Flyers system for an eternity. And to be fair, he kind of has been. Leier was drafted in 2012 as a fourth round pick and made occasional appearances with the Flyers, but was mostly an AHL regular. This year, the speedy winger finally made the opening night roster…
Braydon Coburn will miss four weeks after blocking a shot with his foot on Monday night, the Flyers announced. Officially it’s a lower-body injury, but we all know this happened when he blocked a shot. With the injury, and the other injury to defenseman Nicklas Grossmann, the Flyers are down to six healthy defensemen. This…
One of most interesting aspects of NHL proposal is aimed at punishing clubs more than players, with regard to existing back-diving deals. Any existing deal in excess of 5 yrs would carry cap hit in every year of contract, even if player were to retire with year(s) left. … If player traded, then later in…
In some ways, today’s game was a lot like a number of other Flyers games so far this year — lots of goals for both teams (thanks in no small part to questionable goaltending), crazy second periods, and a comeback of sorts for the team wearing orange. In other ways, today’s game was almost nothing…
A little before the season started, we checked in with Hooks Orpik over at Pensburgh, SB Nation’s Pittsburgh Penguins site, on how they thought things were looking for the Penguins coming into this season. With the Flyers and their biggest rivals set to square off for the first of four times this year tonight, Pensburgh’s…
Milan Lucic has been suspended one game for his hit on Zac Rinaldo on Saturday afternoon, as seen in the video above. Rinaldo wasn’t hurt on the play and Lucic picked up a five minute major and a game misconduct in the process. He’ll miss the Bruins game against Montreal as a result of the…
