As summer wraps up and the temperatures start to cool (or ramp up again), hockey season is right around the corner. And with the calendar changing to September, the NHL is ready to start another season. Flyers Rookie Camp opens on the 14th at the skate zone in Voorhees. The players taking part in a Rookie Series against the Rangers …
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 the Flyers replaced maligned former GM Chuck Fletcher with franchise legend Danny Briere, Philadelphia’s hockey faithful collectively sighed in relief. Fletcher had come to represent everything wrong with the organization, constantly searching for the one big acquisition that would send the team over the top while postponing a rebuild. Turns out, Kevin Hayes and Rasmus Ristolainen are not franchise …
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 …
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 …
The Philadelphia Flyers are in a frustrating situation after a puzzling offseason during which they neither definitively began a rebuild nor landed franchise-changing star Johnny Gaudreau. The franchise is badly stuck in limbo, too bad to dream about the Stanley Cup but too talented to realistically contend with Montreal, Chicago, and Seattle in the sweepstakes for presumptive number one pick …
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 …
Prior to the January 30th match between the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Islanders, the Flyers announced that Travis Konecny would be a healthy scratch. The announcement came as a shock to both the media and fans alike. Within seconds of the announcement, speculation started swirling that perhaps the Flyers were in the process of completing a trade involving …
