Last week, Philadelphia Flyers’ Chairman Dan Hilferty dropped GM Daniel Briere’s interim tag and hired Keith Jones as his direct superior in the president of hockey operations role. The three, along with coach John Tortorella, sold a vision of a team focused on overhauling its roster with a focus on the future. Briere has said much of the same since …

When deposed Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher inked Travis Sanheim to an 8-year, $50 million extension, he bizarrely committed to a bang-average defensive group for the long haul. Fletcher had already signed Ivan Provorov and Rasmus Ristolainen to long-term deals of their own, and Tony DeAngelo and Nick Seeler were each locked into two-season commitments. Fletcher is mercifully gone, but with …

The Philadelphia Flyers would be hard-pressed to say that they had a position of strength during the 2022-2023 season when they were the 3rd-worst team in the Eastern Conference and the 7th worst in the NHL. Still, it is safe to say that the Flyers have fewer questions in some positions than in others. As interim GM Danny Briere pores …

It has been a long time since the Philadelphia Flyers managed to win the Stanley Cup, with the last of their two titles having come in the 1974-75 season. Their first was the year before, therefore meaning this campaign marks the team’s 50th anniversary since winning its maiden title. It was a momentous occasion for the Pennsylvanian franchise at the …

When the Flyers replaced maligned former GM Chuck Fletcher with franchise legend Danny Briere, Philadelphia’s hockey faithful collectively sighed in relief.

Turns out, Kevin Hayes and Rasmus Ristolainen are not franchise …

Ask a Flyers fan about their least favorite memory of the team and there will be a few popular answers.  Leon Stickle’s missed offside call.  Pelle Lindbergh’s tragic demise.  Eric Lindros getting caught with his head down for the last time as a Flyer.  Patrick Kane’s goal line shot under Michael Leighton.  The common theme is the undoing of contending …

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards made waves during the NBA’s All-Star Weekend by criticizing basketball stars’ tendency to sit games voluntarily.  The former number 1 draft pick said that for the most well-conditioned human beings on the planet, missing games arbitrarily was not fair to the league’s paying customers.  “These people might have enough money to come to one game,” …

The Philadelphia Flyers returned from their All-Star break to be stifled in a 2-1 loss to the rival Islanders on Monday night.  The frustrating defeat was not the biggest news of the day for the Orange and Black, though.  Earlier that afternoon, coach John Tortorella made an unorthodox move by writing the team’s season ticket holders something of a midseason …

Despite their overtime loss in Los Angeles on Tuesday, the Flyers have managed a 7-4-1 record since the new year began.  On the campaign, they are 20-21-8 and a very different team than the one that limped into the holiday break 11-17-7.
