Contrary to what some people may say but the Philadelphia Flyers are in the midst of a full-fledged rebuild. This is noted by the departure of key team members, such as Ivan Provorov, Kevin Hayes, and James van Riemsdyk – all to open up cap space, acquire draft picks, or gain new prospects. These are efforts to help the team …
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 …
The Flyers have come crashing back to Earth from their brief vacation atop the Metropolitan Division. They have lost seven of their last nine contests, with five losses coming in regulation time. Ugly as their current skid is (4+ goals conceded in each of the past four games), few will be surprised that the top-heavy, injury-hit roster has not held …
Few would have expected the Flyers to march into the last month of fall with a 5-3-2 record. Greater familiarity with the team would only have discouraged such optimism after an abysmal 2021-2022 campaign and lackluster offseason. Still, after 10 games, the Orange and Black remain in the thick of it in a loaded Metropolitan Division. Despite this encouraging start, …
The Flyers have gotten off to a strong start to the 2022-2023 season in John Torterela’s inaugural year with the team. If this success is going to continue throughout the season, the Flyers will have to lean on their young star goaltender, Carter Hart. Hart has played exceptionally well to start the year, and many consider him to be one …
The Flyers won their second game on the bounce on Wednesday night, defeating the Golden Knights 2-1 behind a brilliant performance by Carter Hart, who stopped 47 of the 48 shots he faced. The modest win streak is the team’s first since February 1, which is indicative of how badly the Orange and Black have struggled in 2021-2022. The team’s …
On Tuesday night the Flyers dropped their second straight tilt with the New York Islanders in a shootout loss. The contest brought the Orange and Black’s losing streak to nine games, somehow just their second-longest such streak of the season. With the 2021-2022 season officially a wash, surely the “Everything Must Go” sign will soon be erected outside of the …
First off, let me start off by saying that I am a BIG fan of Philadelphia Flyers head coach Alain Vigneault. As for his assistant coaches Michel Therrien & Mike Yeo: Not so much. Last season it just seemed like every decision Vigneault made, whether it was lineup changes, who the starting goaltender was on any given night, when to …
With the Flyers struggling at the mid point of their season, Chuck Fletcher's comments shed some light on the problems plaguing the Flyers.
It is safe to say that the Flyers still have yet to find their groove quite yet. Sure, part of that can be attributed to this unconventional season and the unrelenting East division. In fact, looking back at last season, it was around this time that the Flyers were playing their best hockey. The team went into the COVID-19 shutdown, …
