A long time ago – but sometime this season – I put together a spreadsheet of every player the Flyers drafted between 2004 and 2008. I took their career NHL numbers, unless they never played in the NHL. In which case, I compiled all their AHL numbers. This arose out of some sort of AHL-depth…
The 2022-23 campaign has been nothing short of an absolute disaster for the Philadelphia Flyers. From lengthy losing streaks and crushing season-ending injuries to headline-stealing benchings and spears to the groin, the last six months have been an absolute rollercoaster ride from Hell for the Orange & Black.

The Philadelphia Flyers, inexplicably, did not do much at the NHL trade deadline. Veteran winger James van Riemsdyk, who reportedly was nearly traded to the Detroit Red Wings on Friday, was in the lineup once again for the Flyers’ Sunday evening tilt against, hilariously, the Red Wings. You just can’t help but laugh. But while…
*Oh good, we’ve got a game tonight. A chance to turn things around. To not turn another streak of wins into a streak of losses. Before tonight’s match against the Rangers, let’s look back at the loss to the Red Wings with the things we learned. [BSH] *The Flyers made a big huge trade yesterday….
