Remember back at the NHL draft when Samuel Morin was obsessively compared to Chris Pronger? We called it unfair, and Paul Holmgren called it unfair, mostly because it is ridiculously unfair. Pronger is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer and one of the best defensemen to ever play. But hey, at least Morin isn’t alone…
The Flyers faceoff with the Dallas Stars looking to take care of business on a two game west coast road trip. After a frustrating loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday, the Flyers look to hold their spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Currently, the Flyers are just three points ahead of the New…
According to the Philadelphia Flyers, Paul Holmgren will be switching roles from Flyers’ President to serve as Senior Advisor to Governor of the team Dave Scott and general manager Chuck Fletcher.

Everybody seems down on Brayden Schenn these days, from Flyers fans to the coaching staff. He was bumped off the top line in a heart beat the start of the season, and this weekend, the rumor mill kicked back into full focus regarding Schenn’s future with the team. Of course, a trade of Schenn makes…
Flyers forward Boyd Gordon, who has been a scratch in two of the team’s last three games, is injured. Ron Hextall announced Tuesday morning that he’ll be out for a “minimum of one week” due to an upper body injury. In eight games played this season, Gordon has a goal and two penalty minutes. Brought…
Well, that one was certainly… interesting, to say the least. Kind of a tale of two games, in a lot of ways. We’ll be getting into that soon. Also it was another case of nobody knowing what goaltender interference is. Nobody knows. It’s one of the great questions of the universe. Which is cool and…
Steve Mason has been one of the few bright spots on this sad, forgettable Flyers season. Without their starting goaltender, the Flyers would have been out of playoff race long before late February and would be sitting pretty with a chance at Connor McDavid. With him — injuries and all — the Flyers were able…

Travis Sanheim was a Penguins fan. I’m sure that changed on Friday night when he was selected in the first round by the Flyers, but he was a Penguins fan. And that includes during that ridiculous 2012 playoff series. Sanheim was sitting at home watching those six games. And he was tweeting. Oh no. #Flyers…
Yesterday afternoon, Hockey Insider, Smart Man, and Breaker of Dreams Bob McKenzie tweeted that the Toronto Maple Leafs were making some sort of promotional video to try to convince possible-free agent John Tavares to sign with them. No. Absolutely not. I won’t have it. Kurt wrote something really smart and measured about John Tavares, and…
