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. Twenty-six fewer games is a massive discrepancy when compared to the standard 82-game schedule. As a result, I sit here today with a very negative outlook for …
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 …

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 …
As Eagles’ GM Howie Roseman and the Phillies' front office are put on the hot seat, Chuck Fletcher has quietly become the most stable front office fixture in Philadelphia.
As the rumors of Patrik Laine being dealt with the Philadelphia Flyers (or to any team for that matter) have almost completely died down, the ones of Mike Hoffman to the Flyers seem to have pick-up some steam. It’s no secret that GM Chuck Fletcher tried really hard over the last several weeks to land Laine via trade. We can …
First, let me be on the record saying that I would be okay if the Flyers dealt Shayne Gostisbehere for Connor McDavid. I know I’m being really brave for saying this but I would be alright with the team trading the greatest defenseman in Flyers history for some scrub who plays for the Edmonton Oilers. Now all jokes aside, the …
With their playoff run over, a look ahead at a crucial offseason for the Flyers.
