The Philadelphia Flyers are in a rebuild. Their best player – or one of them – is a 26-year-old forward with two years left on his contract coming off a career year. You have to trade him, right? Well, maybe not. On Thursday, The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun reported a little tidbit about the Flyers’ feisty…
Only two games left. We’re finally nearing the finish line to a season that has lasted, by conservative estimates, 29 months. There’ve been a ton of downs and two months of some ups. Carter Hart-Mania has been great. Hearing about how great the faceoff percentage has been, and how Robert Hagg and Radko Gudas (who…
If you ever poke around at the new SBNation.com (and if you don’t, then what are you doing with your life?), you’ve no doubt noticed SBN Hockey‘s running feature over the last week or so. Each site on the network has taken a look at their respective team, noting which players are locks to make…
The Flyers started their last game poorly vs. Washington, and it may have kept them from two points. Although they fought back to tie the game, force overtime and get a point out of it, their win streak was broken at four. They’ll hope to get back to their winning ways against arguably the worst…
The Flyers of course honored Kimmo Timonen before Wednesday night’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks. It was a short, sweet, humble ceremony — just like the man himself. Here’s the video of the video played to honor Kimmo: Your browser does not support iframes. And here’s video of the ceremonial puck drop with Kimmo, Chicago…
Sean Couturier returning to Philadelphia Flyers practice wearing a non-contact jersey and it was the first time he was able to skate with other teammates in an organized fashion, in a very long time. The Flyers top centerman has been slowly recovering from a back injury that caused him to get surgery for the second…
The Flyers will head into this coming June’s draft with two picks to make. Maybe they’ll look to trade up using those picks, maybe they’ll dangle one or both of them as bait to get an established player, maybe they’ll use them to do something else. But there’s also, of course, a decent chance that…
Three Stars 1. Carter Hart Hart was spectacular for the Flyers today, keeping them in it in the first when the Red Wings were charging, and making the necessary saves from then on. The one goal against him wasn’t the greatest, but overall the kid was sharp and continues his strong month of November. All…
Though their recent five-game winning streak is over, the Flyers are in prime position to start another streak right back up. The Flyers welcome the Senators to the Wells Fargo Center to cap a three-game home stand this week. They’ll look to avenge a 2-1 loss back on November 15th to the Senators, one of…
Danny Briere has been in three fights during his NHL career. One of them was today against Kyle Turris of the Ottawa Senators, who dropped the gloves for just the second time in his career on Saturday afternoon. It was probably the unlikliest of unlikely fights in today’s game, and it was completely awesome. It…
