The Flyers are in a sad state and indeed have been for some time.  While the 2021-2022 season has represented a unique nadir for the historically successful franchise, it has been a decade since a consistent, balanced roster took the ice at the Wells Fargo Center.  Alain Vigneault’s successful debut season was an outlier rather than a trendsetter, and Dave …

After 15 years and 1,000 games, the Flyers and their fans have said their tearful goodbyes to Claude Giroux. The longest-tenured captain in Flyers history, an entire generation of Flyers fans (myself included) grew up with Claude Giroux as the face of the Flyers. Now, as he chases his ever-elusive first Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers, the Flyers have …

With the NHL’s Trade Deadline Day having come and gone, many and I mean MANY Philadelphia Flyers fans are really displeased (okay, they’re pissed) with the actions, or lack thereof, from GM Chuck Fletcher. Some fans wanted the team to be buyers and trade for Taylor Hall or Mattias Ekholm or any big-name player, while other fans wanted them 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.

Soon after the shortened 2021 NHL season plans were released, I wrote that no team could afford to fall into a slump if they have any intention of making the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Philadelphia Flyers 2020-21 season is just about halfway done, and after a strong start to the season, the team is currently reeling with a 2-5-0 record in their last 7 games. What makes matters worse is that those 5 losses come at the Washington Capitals’ hands (3 times) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (twice), all in regulation, meaning the Flyers …

Are the Flyers good this season? When I ask myself that question every morning in the mirror, it’s not a question of if they are good enough to squeak into the playoffs. The question is more asking, “Are the Flyers good enough this season to be legitimate contenders for the Cup and justify being buyers at the trade deadline.” At …

The NHL trade deadline is almost a month away, which means it’s trade rumor season! The rumor mill has been bustling for the Flyers this season, and there have been many reports that they’re looking to add a veteran defenseman to bolster the struggling blue line for the playoffs. If the Flyers were to trade for a defenseman, they would …

Look, negativity has been at the forefront of the past year given the state of the country.  It is more important than ever to look on the bright side to find enjoyment.  The sports world has been altered to an extreme degree, and the NHL season returning has been such a joy to fans around the world.  Covid-19 complications have …

In the final hours of 2020, Chuck Fletcher added to the year’s craziness when he announced that 2013 1st round draft pick Samuel Morin would be moving from defense to left-wing. This announcement from Fletcher adds another chapter to the unique story of Morin, who has struggled with injuries for the past couple of seasons. According to Morin, he has …
