We talked a little about Ray Emery yesterday, basically dismissing his desire to come back to Philadelphia as simply that — desire. After all, the Flyers don’t have room for him seemingly at any level. With Sergei Bobrovsky and Brian Boucher at the NHL level and Johan Backlund and Michael Leighton at the AHL level,…
As Flyers fans, we tend to find a lot to disagree about. Ask five different orange-and-black-donned die-hards about what Claude Giroux has left in him, or just how useful Sean Couturier is, or whether the Flyers mishandled their goaltending situation with Steve Mason, or how good a job Dave Hakstol is doing, or even how…

Other than a lone Jori Lehtera goal, there was nothing positive about another embarrassing 6-1 loss. But there were some awesome Halloween costumes, especially by Gritty. The Flyers have now lost three-consecutive games. Truly spooky,…
In most drafts, a player like Boston College defenseman Noah Hanifin could be in the conversation for the No. 1 pick.
