How to Fix the Flyers
Here we are yet again in Philadelphia. The weather is getting warmer, May has come around, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are in full swing, and yet another year where the Philadelphia Flyers haven’t been in the playoffs. In fact, the Flyers haven’t even made it out of the first round since the 2012 playoffs. For […]
2016-17 Philadelphia Flyers Report Card
The Philadelphia Flyers have no doubt just gone through one of the most up-and-down seasons in their 50-year history. There was a point this season when I was writing about the Flyers being one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, a force to possibly make a deep run in the playoffs. That all […]
NHL Icing Growth by Nixing Olympics
Monday afternoon proved to be the final nail in the coffin for the NHL’s involvement in the 2018 Winter Olympics. 2018 Winter Olympics: NHL won't participate in Pyeongchang Games https://t.co/0bmBD61tu2 pic.twitter.com/JGEsPCCFJI — Fox News (@FoxNews) April 4, 2017 The NHL has competed in the last five Winter Olympic games and without a doubt, some of […]
Flyers Prolonging the Inevitable?
It’s been a wild ride this season for the Philadelphia Flyers. At one point, they were near the top of the league in the standings and in several offensive categories, those were the glory days. Just a few months later, all had gone downhill. The team couldn’t score, they found themselves on the outside looking […]
Flyers Suffer a Brutal Tale of Two Seasons
The 2016-17 Philadelphia Flyers‘ season is one that will not only go down as a massive disappointment but one that could essentially be divided by the black and white difference in play from one-half of the season to the other. There could be an argument made that the Flyers were in a ‘rebuilding mode’ for this […]
Is Trading Giroux an Option?
If there’s one thing people in Philadelphia are notorious for, it’s directing blame at a single player when the team is failing to meet expectations. It happens across all four major sports teams in the city. Right now, Claude Giroux isn’t necessarily feeling the brotherly love from the city that has seen him as captain […]
Do Gostisbehere’s Stats Warrant Benching?
Two of their most promising rookies scratched, a substantial drop in goal scoring, and a team that has suddenly become full of despair and rife with inconsistency That’s what the 2016-17 Philadelphia Flyers have become. This is all emanating from a team that sat fourth in the entire league in the middle of December. As if that wasn’t […]
Flyers Sitting in Familiar Territory
It was just over a month and a half ago. The Philadelphia Flyers were riding a 10-game winning streak, the goalies were playing like Vezina candidates, and the offense was scoring at a wicked clip. Those days are a far-away memory now. Since that winning streak, the Flyers have struggled to put together any type […]
New Look in Net Ahead for Flyers
This offseason will be very interesting for the Philadelphia Flyers. Steve Mason and Michal Neuvirth are both poised to become free agents, leaving the Flyers without an experienced NHL goalie under contract after this season. The Flyers have options to fill the void but Mason and Neuvirth are seasoned veterans, whereas the other options have […]
Mason Crucial to Flyers’ Success
If you were to take a poll among Flyer fans asking what the teams biggest issue would be heading into this season, goaltending would certainly be near the bottom of that list. A few weeks into the season, however, that would have topped the list by a long shot. The Flyers opened the season as […]
Gudas a Bad Fit for the Flyers?
The Flyers are still days away from their highly anticipated season opener, and Radko Gudas’ name has already been the center of controversy on more than one occasion. That is less than ideal for a team that is trying to distance itself from the ‘Broad Street Bullies’ mentality. Just last season, Ron Hextall had to […]
It’s Time for The Flyers to Lock Up Schenn
If the playoffs were any indication of what’s to come, Brayden Schenn is going to be a treat for Philadelphia fans to watch in the coming seasons. Despite being a historically streaky player, Schenn proved otherwise this season. After a somewhat slow start with 15 points in his first 34 games, the Flyer forward kicked […]
Philadelphia Flyers: 3 Keys to Making This a Series
Before the Stanley Cup playoffs started, the Philadelphia Flyers knew they had a tall task awaiting them in the first round of the playoffs. The Washington Capitals are the complete package, and held the best record in the NHL by a long shot. That task became even more complicated over the weekend. The Flyers have […]
Despite Tough Weekend, Flyers Still in Good Position
To say the Flyers had a tough weekend would be an understatement. The were obliterated by their cross-state rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Flyers entered this game with the opportunity to bring themselves to within a two points of Pittsburgh with a game in hand. That didn’t happen. Instead, the Flyers came out completely flat, […]
The Flyers Are Giving Everyone a Glimpse of Their Future
Off the top, it may seem puzzling to some fans. The Flyers stood near dead last in the NHL in goals per game at the beginning of the season. They were lifeless, they were boring, and it seemed like it was truly going to be a rebuilding year. That was the story in and around […]
It’s Time for the NHL to Revamp the Playoffs
March is probably one of the most agonizing months of the year for hockey fans. It’s a time when teams make or break their season, it’s a time when dark horses emerge from the shadows, and it’s a time when everyone in the league is keeping an eye on the standings to see who they […]
The NHL is Melting the Ice on Outdoor Hockey
It was a lazy Saturday night, and I just happened to be flipping through the channel guide to see what would be worth while to watch on Sunday afternoon. There was the Daytona 500, a few NBA games, College Basketball and two NHL games listed on NBC. One of those games happened to be another […]
It’s Time for the Flyers to Buyout Umberger and Lecavalier
The Flyers have $10+ million in cap space tied up in two guys that collectively have 42 points over the last 120 games. At the conclusion of this season, the first thing the Flyers need to do is buyout one of these two, if not both. Now, of course, this isn’t as simple as when […]

It’s the time of year when everyone you know is planning what they are going to change for the New Year. You might have heard about diets, the gym, being a better parent, or anything else under the sun. But what should each NHL team make their New Years resolution this holiday season? Let’s take […]
Coach’s Challenge Leading to More Questions Than Answers
The coach’s challenge was supposed to clear up gray area on goalie interference calls among other things this season. But almost a quarter of the was in, and it has led to more questions than answers on the ice. Opinions Run Wild Tuesday night in Pittsburgh brought about a very interesting situation between Penguin forward […]
