As many teams do prior to hosting an outdoor game (you’ll likely remember the Flyers-Rangers alumni game played on New Years’ Eve in 2011), the Flyers confirmed today that they and the Pittsburgh Penguins, as part of each of their 50th anniversary celebrations, will host an alumni game in early 2017, prior to the teams’…
About a month ago, the Flyers began a 18-game stretch that we mentioned would probably go a long way towards seeing how much of a playoff contender they could actually be. A road trip against mostly-Central Division teams was middling at best (2-3-1), while a set of six games in the last two weeks against…

The Flyers, as usual, will be making quite a few appearances on national television next season. NBC Sports announced the 2016-17 national broadcast schedule for the United States, and the Flyers are on it 20 times. That’s second-most in the league behind the Chicago Blackhawks, who will appear 21 times on national TV. The Flyers…
*So for some reason the Flyers have off until TUESDAY, which is great when the team is warming up. Spend all of this time reminding yourself that, despite what you keep reading in the paper, THERE IS NO GOALIE CONTROVERSY. [BSH] *Four games in this team is meshing together rather nicely. [Flyers] *With his second…
Just when you thought the Flyers defense couldn’t really get much worse, things have gotten much worse. The Flyers announced Friday morning that Braydon Coburn and Andrew MacDonald — the “top” defensive pairing to begin this season — are both out four weeks with lower-body injuries. Braydon Coburn was injured in the season opener in…
We thought the Flyers may have gotten all of their moves out of their system yesterday, with the recall of Phil Myers and the trade of Dale Weise and Christian Folin, but not so! Chuck Fletcher still had one move left for the weekend, and the Flyers have just announced that they’ve called up forward…
In addition to his duties as Islanders television voice, Howie Rose calls New York Mets games on the radio over the summer. So even though he’s very clearly and obviously wrong, it’s understandable that he has a soft spot for Mr. Met, the awful mascot of the Mets. (Like, it’s a dude with a baseball…
The NHL still has to approve, but the Flyers have applied for a two-day extension on Michael Leighton‘s AHL conditioning loan. The move allows them to keep Leighton on long-term injured reserve, or LTIR, for two more AHL games. Paul Holmgren announced this on a conference call with reporters Monday, meaning that he’s probably pretty…
On the penultimate day of the 2015-16 NHL season, the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in Philadelphia by a score of 4-1 to clinch a spot in the playoffs. It was a fun day for all of us. I don’t think anything of significance has happened for the Pens since then, but maybe I’m…
